title of the Community Development Director be changed to Economic and • <br /> Community Development Director as soon as possible. <br /> 2) Support Staff for Economic Development <br /> The new Economic and Community Development Director cannot assume the <br /> additional responsibilities of their job without sufficient staff to manage that task. <br /> If the City adopts the recommendations of this plan, a full time economic <br /> development administrative assistant will be required. This position may be able <br /> to be supported from other capacities in the City's system in the early stages, but <br /> it cannot be sustained without permanent staffing added to support this goal. An <br /> individual needs to be put in place to assume the support responsibilities for this <br /> priority. <br /> 3) Council Development <br /> Arden Hills is at a new crossroads in economic development. In order for the <br /> City Council to support the efforts of its staff, there needs to be a higher level of <br /> expertise of economic development issues amongst the elected officials. <br /> Toward this end, we would recommend up to six, three to four hour training <br /> sessions be held at City Hall at a frequency of one every other month. These <br /> sessions should be held at City Hall with the public invited to be in attendance. <br /> Topics for discussion may include: <br /> ♦ Incentive Utilization for Competitive Economic Development <br /> ♦ Brownfield Redevelopment <br /> ♦ Economic Development Finance <br /> ♦ Redevelopment of Existing Properties <br /> ♦ Main Street Revitalization <br /> ♦ The Link Between Education, Workforce and Economic Development <br /> Leadership in economic development. Why everyone is a leader in <br /> Arden Hills. <br /> Middle: Years 2-4 �'✓G S <br /> 4) Strengthening of City UaaaoCs Position <br /> Economic development in Arden Hills will succeed when city staff turnover is <br /> reduced to levels representative of the industry. In order to accomplish that <br /> task, the City Manger must be commissioned with the responsibility of the <br /> administrative responsibilities of the city while the City Council bears the <br /> responsibility for policy and legislative roles. We would recommend that a <br /> consultant be employed to recommend the most effective roles and <br /> responsibilities for the City Manager and Council in managing the city. <br /> 5) Community Awareness <br /> Strategic Plan for Economic Development Page 13 of 23 <br /> Draft—Subject to Approval and Adoption <br />
