MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Economic Development Commission Steven C. Mielke, City Administrator FROM: David L. Olson, Community & Economic Development Director4/,(~ DATE: October 1, 2004 RE: Joint Work Session on the 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development Work on the 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development began in August with the completion of a questionnaire by the Mayor, City Council Members and members of the EDC. The questionnaire was intended to identify the significant Economic Development issues facing the City over the next three years. The EDC reviewed the compiled list of these significant issues at a work session in August that was facilitated by Todd Rapp of Himle Horner and recommended a draft prioritized list of six significant issues to be addressed in the next Strategic Plan. Along with the list of six significant issues, the EDC identified several goals for each significant issue. EDC members also reviewed and recommended changes to the Strategic Plan Vision, Mission, and the Organizational Definition for the EDC. EDC members reviewed the recommendations from the August Work Session at their September 28th meeting and made a number of minor changes. EDC members also identified possible desired outcomes for the identified draft goals within the significant issues. Before further work is completed on the 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development, a Joint Work Session with the City Council is needed to review the draft goals and outcomes. This is consistent with the process that has been utilized in the preparation of the previous Strategic Plan. Attached are draft copies of the proposed Strategic Plan Vision, Mission, Organizational Definition, and Significant Issues, Goals, and Outcomes. EDC members will be present at the October 7` Work Session to discuss their draft recommendations. 2005-2007 Strategic Plan Vision: Lakeville is a unique and attractive community where people and families want to live, learn, work and enjoy for their entire lives and where businesses choose to locate due to an attractive business climate. 2002-2004 Strategic Plan Vision: Creative and Innovative Credible Facilitators of Change Providers of outcomes to achieve lasting impact Providers for a better community Promoters rather than policy makers Builders of relationships between businesses and residents Successful facilitators of council initiatives Anticipatory of difficult city issues, and developers of proactive solutions Identifiers of issues before they become a problem Aggressive innovators 2005-2007 Strategic Plan Mission: The Economic Development Commission is committed to identifying and managing opportunities for innovative economic growth, which enhance the quality of life and provide balance to the business and residential community. 2002-2004 Strategic Plan Mission: The Economic Development Commission is committed to innovative economic growth, which enhances the quality of life, and provides balance to the business and residential community. 2005-2007 Strategic Plan Organizational Definition: The EDC is an advisory group of business people that promotes and responds to community and economic growth by: • Serving as policy advisors to Council and staff about community and economic development issues • Anticipating internal and external changes in opportunities, challenges and trends that may affect development • Communicating with the Council, residents and stakeholders while listening and reacting to the opinions of interested parties • Building relationships and facilitating cooperation among stakeholders • Promoting Lakeville as a good place to live, work and do business (Note: The 2002-2004 Strategic Plan did not include an Organizational Definition) 2005-2007 Strategic Plan Significant Issues, Goals & Outcomes Transportation Goals • Advocate for the implementation of a process to develop East-West Comdors • Assure timely completion of 50-60-70 interchanges • Monitor and evaluate efforts to develop a viable transit plan for Lakeville • Advocate on behalf of business interests with airport and rail planners Outcomes ?
