CC Regular Session 7. 3. Meeting Date: 10/22/2019 By: Sean Sullivan, Community Development Information Title: Adopt Resolution #19-254 Approval of 2020 EDA Work Plan Purpose/Background: PURPOSE The purpose of this case is to review and adopt the 2019-2020 City of Ramsey Economic Development Work Plan. It should be noted that a 2019 EDA Work Plan was not developed or adopted due to the timing of the transition to the new Economic Development Manager. The City Council adopted its revised Strategic Plan on 2019 and items relating to the EDA have been included in the proposed 2019-2020 Work Plan. The EDA reviews, and amends the Work Plan as needed to assure that it is alignment with the City Council Strategic Plan and market conditions.
