of contact for their questions and concerns.

The draft presentation is attached for committee review and comment and will be reviewed at the

EDAC OVERVIEW
The Economic Advisory Committee (EDAC) is a committee of
non-government volunteers who serve as an advisory
committee to the EDA.
EDAC duties and responsibilities include:
Serve as a liaison between city government and the community
through interaction with business leaders and community
residents.
As requested, review and comment on Economic Development
and redevelopment policies to the EDA or staff.
Make recommendations to the EDA or staff regarding Economic
Development issues, strategy development and implementation
and other initiatives that can be undertaken by the EDA to expand
and strengthen business retention & expansion.
In conjunction with EDA members or staff, introduce potential or
new business representatives to others in the community.
BUSINESS RETENTION & EXPANSION
Business attraction, business incubation and business retention
have been identified by the EDA as important components of
Prior Lake’s Economic Development strategy.
The EDAC takes its business retention goals seriously.
Regular contact with business owners is very important to the
city’s business retention efforts.
The EDAC has found the commercial area liaison program to be a
valuable economic development tool.
The program can improve the perception of the city’s support for
businesses and provides city staff with the necessary information
to recommend ordinance amendments and policies to address
businesses concerns.
COMMERCIAL LIAISON PROGRAM
To help accomplish the duties outlined in the Bylaws, the EDAC
assigned its members to act as a liaison to five specific
commercial and industrial areas of the community.
The Commercial Area Liaison team is made up of community
business leaders and residents with a broad background.
Committee member experience allows the EDAC and PL
businesses to benefit from a wide range of resources,
perspectives and ideas.
The role of the EDAC liaison is to:
Demonstrate support for local businesses;
Help communicate City and EDAC activities with business owners;
and
Provide an additional point of contact for questions and concerns.
LIAISON RESPONSIBILITIES
One of the EDAC’s goals for 2017 is:
“Expand upon the Commercial Area Liaison program with
increased outreach by scheduling small group discussions or
workshops with targeted areas of the business community to; (i)
clearly communicate information to business owners; (ii) ensure
material about planned or proposed projects is easily accessible;
(iii) listen and report on business concerns; and (iv) provide an
opportunity for business owners to engage in a constructive
conversation about the future of Prior Lake.”
Each commercial area liaison will compile a list of all the
businesses and contact information for their area.
Face-to-face interaction is preferred; however, telephone and
email contact is acceptable.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The commercial area liaison program should continue and this
business retention effort should be the primary mission of the EDAC.
Committee members should continue to develop meaningful
relationships with business owners.
As the commercial visit process is refined, the EDAC will improve
their communications with businesses. The committee will continue
to provide value to the businesses and the City of Prior Lake.
EDAC will focus on small group meetings within their commercial
areas as an effective way to improve business/city relations, increase
communication, provide a greater sense of community within the
commercial areas and identify action items for business and city to
accomplish.
In 2017, EDAC members will attempt to contact all brick and mortar
businesses not contacted in 2016.
