Ah ELK RIVER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY <br /> IIP <br /> Item 13. <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Economic Development Authority <br /> FROM: Patrick Klaers, Execut i ctor <br /> DATE: April 8, 1996 <br /> SUBJECT: Economic Development Strategy <br /> The city has hired.Jim Brimeyer to work with the Task Force to recommend <br /> an applicant for the director of economic development position. In the process <br /> of putting together an overview of this position, Jim held interviews with <br /> about 25 community leaders. One of the constant themes during these <br /> interviews was a lack of an overall city economic development program. This <br /> • issue was discussed by the selection task force and more information on this <br /> issue was requested from Mr. Brimeyer. <br /> Attached for your review is a brief memo and overview on consulting services <br /> for putting together an economic development strategic plan. This <br /> information is offered for discussion by the EDA. At this point I don't know if. <br /> the EDA wants to pursue this type of service or if they want the City Council <br /> to take the lead on this issue. Task Force members Duitsman, Farber, <br /> Gongoll, and Dwyer should be able to update the rest of the EDA on this <br /> proposal and need for a strategic plan. <br /> s:\eda\meetings\stratpin.doc <br /> • <br /> P.O.
