Title:
Introduce/Adopt Business Spotlight Article Policy
Background:
The Ramsey Resident is a community newsletter providing general public information about the City of Ramsey and the local community. This publication is produced by the City of Ramsey and is mailed to nearly 10,000 households.
The Ramsey Resident Business Spotlight article gives local businesses an opportunity to showcase their organization to the community. The intent of the article is to give general background/history of a business, identify what services/products they provide, showcase what is unique about their business and to highlight anything else important for the community to know about their organization.
Up until now, there has been no policy to guide how a business spotlight business is selected. Staff would like to introduce/propose a policy that would empower the EDA to select Business Spotlight Article featured businesses.

Observations:
In summary, this policy empowers the EDA to select a business for the Business Spotlight Article by means of a popular vote at the EDA meeting prior to publication. Staff will populate a working list that the EDA will vote from. The EDA may add additional businesses to this list if they wish. Businesses will not be allowed to be featured more than one time in five years; and to be eligible, businesses must be located in Ramsey.
Attached to this case is the proposed policy and a both list of previously selected businesses and nominees for future Business Spotlight Article featured businesses.
Funding Source:
Part of the normal work duities of Administrative Staff.
Staff Recommendation:
Discuss, amend and approve the proposed Business Spotlight Article Policy
EDA Action:
Approve the proposed Business Spotlight Article Policy
