III <br /> Following a presentation on Twin Cities-Metro, this group <br /> collectively decided that it was in the best interest of both <br /> counties to request that Twin Cities-Metro expand its service <br /> territory to include Wright and Sherburne. <br /> This direction was discussed by the Sherburne County Economic <br /> Development Council later on July 15. The Council voted to <br /> recommend that the Sherburne County Board of Commissioners <br /> support this effort. On July 20, the County Board heard this <br /> proposal and also supported the expansion of Twin Cities-Metro <br /> into the County. This direction will be reflected via a cover <br /> letter from the Chair of the County ED Council to the Small <br /> Business Administration - Minneapolis office. A similar effort <br /> to obtain support is underway in Wright County. A presentation <br /> will be made to that County Board on August 10. Assuming <br /> positive action results there, an application to expand Twin <br /> Cities-Metro's service territory to include Wright and <br /> Sherburne can be initiated. <br /> To evidence further support for this action, it is appropriate <br /> for the Elk River EDA to also consider a resolution of support. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED <br /> Am The Elk River EDA is asked to: <br /> a. Rescind EDA Resolution 93-2; and, <br /> b. Adopt EDA Resolution 93-3, a resolution requesting <br /> that the Twin Cities-Metro Certified Development <br /> Company extend its service territory to include the <br /> corporate limits of Elk River, Minnesota. This <br /> resolution can be included in the application to SBA. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> I recommend that the Elk River EDA rescind Resolution 93-2 and <br /> adopt Resolution 93-3 . <br />
