Notification: N/A Observations/Alternatives: Attached is a copy of the presentation John LeTourneau gave to the EDA at the July 11, 2019 meeting. The presentation identified 24 unique Ramsey businesses that have been a part of the program. Funding Source: $5,000 from the 2019 EDA Budget 9230-6315. Other Sponsors that support the Manufacture Cohort include: Anoka Technical College, Connexus Energy, Anoka Public Utility (City of Anoka), Anoka County, Stepping Stone and Rapid Packaging. Recommendation: Considering Ramsey's limited internal resources (staff time) to pro -actively and effectively address large regional issues that effect our manufactures, the Anoka Area Chamber Manufacture Cohort provides the City an efficient opportunity to get involved. The group has a focus on workforce development and this is a pressing issue in today's economy and our local businesses. Staff supports sponsorship of this program again in 2019 as this group is making good strides and is providing a service to our local businesses/manufactures (i.e. Building Fasteners, Minnesota Tool and Die, Connexus Energy and many others). The EDA reviewed this item at the July 13, 2019 meeting and recommends approval of Resolution #19-179. The presentation to the EDA can be viewed at www.qctv.org/ramsey under 'Economic Development Authority'. Action: Motion to Adopt Resolution #19-179 Approving Manufactures Cohort 2019 Renewal.
