program/project support. One time projects, such as exploring fiscal implications, could be assumed <br />165 <br />by a graduate student intern or class project. A recommended budget for interns for 2017 is, <br />166 <br />$30,000. <br />167 <br />168 <br />2017 Staff Capacity – Acquisition/Redevelopment Support <br />169 <br />As mentioned as a possible action item for 2016, a framework for establishing acquisition criteria <br />170 <br />$5,000 <br />may be valuable. Staff would suggest setting aside in 2017 for tweaking an acquisition <br />171 <br />framework if desired. <br />172 <br />173 <br />2017 Staff Capacity – Proactive Economic Development <br />174 <br />Proactive economic development will undoubtedly be the bulk of new initiatives in 2017 and may <br />175 <br />red <br />have the greatest impact on staff capacity. Of the initiatives identified, those highlighted in <br />176 <br />would be difficult to accomplish with the existing staff structure. <br />177 <br />178 <br />Initiatives where additional staff/consultant may be needed include: <br />179 <br />180 <br />– Proactive - 2016 Medium Priority <br />Business Concierge (15) <br />181 <br />Proactive - 2016 Medium Priority <br />Marketing strategy (19) – <br />182 <br />Proactive <br />Execute pro-active marketing strategy (17) – <br />183 <br />Support partner-sponsored job fairs and/or opportunities to expose students to careers with <br />184 <br />- Proactive <br />Roseville employers (17) <br />185 <br /> Proactive <br />Integrate deeply into business retention, expansion and attraction (16) - <br />186 <br />187 <br />Additional Staffing <br />188 <br />The EDA could consider utilizing consultants, repurposing existing staff, or adding an additional <br />189 <br />staff person to accommodate the economic development activities in 2017 and beyond. A range of <br />190 <br />$50,000 - $150,000 <br />could be considered to accommodate additional staffing depending on what the <br />191 <br />EDA desires. This range may be a conservative estimate of what is needed, however, a reliance on <br />192 <br />interns may diminish if additional staffing is desired. If an additional staff person is desired, the <br />193 <br />department will need to do a space analysis. The department currently has staff sharing cube space, <br />194 <br />and additional funds would need to be set aside to build space and/or reconfigure existing space to <br />195 <br />accommodate increased staff. The cost of a space analysis and reconfiguration is not included in the <br />196 <br />2017 initiatives as this affects the Department as a whole and would be budgeted across all divisions. <br />197 <br />198 <br />Total (Maximum) Cost of 2017 Initiatives: <br />199 <br />*SE Roseville Visioning $40,000 (not in total) <br />200 <br />Policy Development: $5,000 <br />201 <br />Acquisition – Acquisition Framework: $5,000 <br />202 <br />Proactive – Research (Interns): $30,000 <br />203 <br /> SPACC Visitation Facilitation $6,000 <br />204 <br />Additional Staffing/Consultant $150,000 <br />205 <br />Total:196,000+ <br /> $ <br />206 <br />207 <br />*Visioning funds for SE Roseville have been identified as a 2016 priority. If funds are not used in <br />208 <br />2016, staff recommends carrying over funds for 2017. <br />209 <br />210 <br />2016/2017 Low Priorities <br />211 <br />Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br />
