Melena, Apple Valley City Administrator SUBJECT: COUNTY -WIDE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP DATE: January 15, 1993 In the past we have discussed the concepts for a county -wide Economic Development Partnership. This partnership is now being formed under the name "Dakota County Economic Development Partnership" (DCEDP). It is time for cities to officially join and fund their share. The purpose of this partnership between local units of government, the private sector, and the County is to professionally promote and market the entire county for job creation and tax -base diversification. The DCEDP will also contract for services with Metro East. A director will be hired who will office in the Dakota County Vo -Tech complex. At our meetings in late 1992, cities that agreed to participate also :were asked to assist in the funding. Approximately one-third of the funding must come from cities and townships. The fee schedule for each unit is $1,000 plus 10� per capita based on the current year population estimate by Met Council. The annual fee will be different for each community and can be split into halves with the first payment in the early portion of the year and the remainder after July 15. Some of the communities (including Apple Valley) will fund a portion of this annual economic development promotion fee from their Tax Increment Financing Administration fund. Checks should be made out to: Dakota County Economic Development Partnership, c/o P.I.C., 33 East Wentworth Avenue, West St. Paul, Minnesota 551'18, Attention: Helen.
