Notification: <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Attached is a summary of activity, and a work plan for 2019. <br />Funding Source: <br />2019 EDA Budget is being asked to consider funding $5,000.00. <br />Other Trusted Sponsors that support the Manufacture Cohort include: Anoka Technical College, Connexus Energy, <br />Anoka Public Utility (City of Anoka), Anoka County, Stepping Stone and Rapid Packaging. <br />Recommendation: <br />Considering Ramsey's limited internal resources (staff time) to pro -actively and effectively address large regional <br />issues that effect our manufactures, the Anoka Area Chamber Manufacture Cohort provides the City an efficient <br />opportunity to get involved. The group has a focus on workforce development and this is a pressing issue in today's <br />economy and our local businesses. Staff would consider supporting sponsorship of this program again in 2019 as it <br />appears this group is making good strides and is providing a service to our local businesses/manufactures (i.e. <br />Building Fasteners, Minnesota Tool and Die, Connexus Energy and others). <br />With the above in mind, staff would suggest an EDA discussion to evaluate the effectiveness of this investment. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend the continued support of the Anoka Area Chamber Manufacture Cohort in 2019 including <br />$5,000 in funding <br />2019 2020 WorkPlan <br />2019 Activity <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Sean Sullivan (Originator) Sean Sullivan 07/02/2019 04:02 PM <br />Tim Gladhill Tim Gladhill 07/05/2019 08:07 AM <br />Form Started By: Sean Sullivan Started On: 07/01/2019 10:54 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 07/05/2019 <br />
