TO: Dakota County City and County Managers/Administrators
FROM: Thomas M. 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.,
