Economic Development Authority (EDA) 4. 3. <br />Meeting Date: 07/12/2012 <br />Submitted For: Patrick Brama By: Patrick Brama, Administrative Services <br />Title: <br />Introduce/Adopt Business Spotlight Article Policy <br />Background: <br />The Ramsey Resident is a community newsletter providing general public information about the City of Ramsey <br />and the local community. This publication is produced by the City of Ramsey and is mailed to nearly 10,000 <br />households. <br />The Ramsey Resident Business Spotlight article gives local businesses an opportunity to showcase their <br />organization to the community. The intent of the article is to give general background/history of a business, identify <br />what services/products they provide, showcase what is unique about their business and to highlight anything else <br />important for the community to know about their organization. <br />Up until now, there has been no policy to guide how a business spotlight business is selected. Staff would like to <br />introduce/propose a policy that would empower the EDA to select Business Spotlight Article featured businesses. <br />Observations: <br />In summary, this policy empowers the EDA to select a business for the Business Spotlight Article by means of a <br />popular vote at the EDA meeting prior to publication. Staff will populate a working list that the EDA will vote <br />from. The EDA may add additional businesses to this list if they wish. Businesses will not be allowed to be <br />featured more than one time in five years; and to be eligible, businesses must be located in Ramsey. <br />Attached to this case is the proposed policy and a both list of previously <br />selected businesses and nominees for future Business Spotlight Article featured businesses. <br />Funding Source: <br />Part of the normal work duities of Administrative Staff. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Discuss, amend and approve the proposed Business Spotlight Article Policy <br />EDA Action: <br />Approve the proposed Business Spotlight Article Policy <br />Attachments <br />Nominees and History <br />Policy <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 07/05/2012 11:01 AM <br />Form Started By: Patrick Brama Started On: 07/03/2012 07:03 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 07/05/2012 <br />
