32 Moving into the seventh year, the Alliance will continue with its current structural model 33 whereby SPACC provides professional services to the Alliance, with the Executive Director 34 of the Alliance reporting to an executive board. The Executive Director continues to be Kim 35 O'Brien, an employee of SPACC. City staff seek authorization to enter into the necessary 36 contracts to fund the seventh year. A Work Plan for the Alliance is made a part of the 37 Professional Services Agreement and is provided as Attachment 3. 38 39 Policy Objectives 40 The services provided by the Alliance are broad and align with nearly all of the City's 41 adopted Community Aspirations. 42 43 Equity Impact Summary 44 The Rice & Larpenteur Alliance continues to focus on an area of Roseville that is home to a 45 diverse population, with BIPOC residents making up over 40% of the census tract 46 compared to approximately 25% citywide (source: My Sidewalk). This area also includes a 47 high concentration of renter households, small businesses, and households with incomes 48 below the area median income. By supporting the Alliance, the City is investing in an 49 initiative that fosters inclusive economic growth, enhances community engagement, and 50 ensures that historically underrepresented voices have a role in shaping the future of the 51 corridor. The Alliance’s efforts support the City’s broader aspirations of being a welcoming 52 and inclusive community where all residents and businesses have opportunities to 53 succeed. 54 55 Budget Implications 56 The City of Roseville's cost for the seventh year remains at $40,000. The EDA's 2025 57 approved budget included $40,000 for professional services related to the Rice and 58 Larpenteur Alliance. The Alliance previously adopted a Strategic Fundraising Framework 59 for the years 2020-2024. The Alliance is working to update this plan and will continue to 60 seek grant funding in coming years in the hope that municipal funding could be reduced. 61 62 Staff Recommendations 63 Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with 64 SPACC and a Cooperative Funding Agreement with the cities of Maplewood and St. Paul. 65 66 Requested Council Action 67 By motion, authorize the Mayor and City Manager to exectue a Professional Services 68 Agreement with SPACC and a Coopertive Funding Agreement with the cities of Maplewood 69 and St. Paul. 70 71 Janice Gundlach, Community Development Director Prepared by: 1.
