Commissioner Zisla recalled that Ramsey County had a workforce solution department and they would have <br />programs or resources available to residents of New Brighton. <br /> <br />Councilmember Allen believed it would benefit the City to have a lot of partners to address jobs and career <br />opportunities in the community. He then asked where the city was with monument signs. Gozola reported the <br />EDC looked at where the monument signs were located and what were the main entrance points into the <br />community. He stated this work was put on hold given the fact PREC was working on a parks master plan and <br />the EDC wanted these signs to have a unified theme. <br /> <br />Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas questioned if the City had funding set aside for the new park signs. Massopust <br />reported the parks master plan did include funding for new signs. <br /> <br />Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas explained she supported all four of the focal points for the EDC. She discussed how <br />the Council has been reviewing the housing study and she believed it would be beneficial for the EDC to <br />review this study as well. She commented further on how Old Highway 8 was ready for redevelopment and the <br />Council would benefit from feedback on this corridor. <br /> <br />Massopust stated another topic for the EDC to consider was local workforce solutions, noting this may fit <br />under business retention and expansion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dunsworth indicated she supported the four main initiatives for the EDC as proposed by staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Allen explained another item to consider for the EDC would be to incorporate local businesses <br />into the climate action plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Abdulle supported the EDC continuing to pursue business retention/expansion and sense of <br />place initiatives. He questioned what type of work the EDC did to address housing programs. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zisla commented on how the EDC can address housing themes or zoning issues for the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas supported the EDC reviewing the recent housing study and providing feedback to the <br />City Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Abdulle suggested the EDC consider reviewing the transportation options available in the <br />community and how the lack of transportation was impacting the businesses and residents in New Brighton. <br /> <br />Councilmember Allen supported this recommendation noting the City should be seeking more transportation <br />services from Met Council for its residents. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dunsworth recalled there was a business that did not move into New Brighton because the <br />City did not have enough mass transit in place. She supported the EDC further addressing this issue because <br />transportation impacted both residents and businesses. <br /> <br />The Council and EDC commented on how the rising price of housing was impacting New Brighton and its <br />residents. <br /> <br />Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas suggested a Small Business Saturday event be considered for New Brighton. <br /> <br />Commissioner Norman commented on how Stockyard Days could be used to assist in creating a sense of place <br />for New Brighton.
