History One of the EDAC’s duties outlined in their Bylaws is, “To serve as a liaison between city government and the community through interaction with business leaders and community residents.” To help accomplish this, the EDAC has assigned some of its members to act as a liaison to five [now six] specific commercial and industrial areas of the community. The role of the EDAC liaison is to help communicate City and EDAC activities with business owners and provide an additional point of contact for their questions and concerns. Current Circumstances The presentation will include action items that have been identified and addressed by the EDAC and City of Prior Lake as a result of this program, as well as areas of con- cern that have been shared by the business owners in the community. Conclusion EDAC members would appreciate comments or recommendations the EDA may have related to the commercial area liaison program. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: 1. Motion and Second to accept the EDAC Commercial Area Liaison presentation. 2. Provide direction to staff and the EDAC and continue discussion at a future meet- ing.

TOPICS: During the April 17th meeting, EDA commissioners recommended the EDA schedule a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to discuss the Comprehensive Plan update, land use and other topics as they relate to economic development. The joint work session will include the review of portions of the Land Use and Housing Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. City staff will have a short presentation. Issues to be discussed include: ➢ Revised Transitional Town Center boundaries ➢ Planned Use designation on CSAH 42 ➢ Need for Commercial and Industrial land ➢ Planning for the City’s affordable housing allocation CONCLUSION: City staff will be seeking direction from the Planning Commission and EDA related to the above topics in order to complete the Land Use and Housing Plan updates. The City Council and Planning Commission made some headway in this regard at their joint meeting on June 12th; however, staff did not receive definitive direction that they were seeking on these discussion topics. It would be helpful if the EDA and Planning Commission could make additional progress with the understanding that their efforts would be communicated to the City Council as a consent agenda item for council consideration so that the comprehensive plan update project can remain on schedule.
