HomeMy WebLinkAbout4.E. Authorization to Enter a Srv Agrmnt with Chamber of Commerce for Mainstreet prgmGeneral Business 4. E. SHAKC)PEE TO: Economic Development Authority FROM: Samantha DiMaggio, Economic Development Coordinator DATE: 04/15/2014 SUBJECT: Authorization to Enter into a Service Agreement with the Shakopee Area Chamber of Commerce for the Mainstreet Program Background In late 2013, meetings were held with the businesses located along the 101 Corridor and in the Downtown Business District. The purpose of the meetings was to find a way to focus attention upon, and provide for revitalization efforts of this portion of Shakopee. One of the options discussed to assist was to create a joint application between the City of Shakopee and the Shakopee Area Chamber of Commerce to participate in the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota's Mainstreet Minnesota Program. There was widespread support for participating in this program. As a result, the City Council and EDA agreed to place $25,000 in the 2014 City budget for this membership. That amount would be the City's share of hiring a full time staff person to operate the Shakopee Mainstreet Program. The person hired to be the Mainstreet Coordinator would be an employee of the Shakopee Chamber. The program would be governed by a nine - person committee; membership is proposed to include one member of the City Council/EDA. A copy of the agreement is attached. Budget Impact: The allocation is $25,000 would come from the EDA Fund. Recommendation: Staff recommends entering into a service agreement with the Shakopee Chamber and Visitors Bureau. Action Sought If the EDA concurs, it should, by motion, authorize the appropriate officials to enter into a service contract with the Shakopee Area Chamber of Commerce, for the Mainstreet Program.
