MEMORANDUM
TO: Charles Ahl, City Manager
FROM: Melinda Coleman, Assistant City Manager
DATE: January 22, 2014
SUBJECT: Ramsey County and the St Paul Area Chamber of Commerce Presentations
Introduction
Staff has invited Heather Worthington, Deputy Ramsey County Manager and Jonathan
Weinhagen from the Saint Paul Chamber to present findings on their work to the City Council.
They will present independently with information that describes the economic, demographic,
income and education statistics of Ramsey County and Maplewood. This presentation will
provide very useful information as we move forward with our vision and planning for the City of
Maplewood.
Background
The department heads and City Manager heard the Ramsey County presentation on Economic
Prosperity a few months ago and we believe that the information tells a compelling story about
the economic needs and challenges in the county and our place in the metropolitan area.
Additionally, City Manager Ahl and I met with Matt Kramer and Jonathan Weinhagen from the
Saint Paul Chamber to discuss employment demographics and to hear about their business
assessment of Maplewood. Their findings and statistics were very telling. Some of the
information, such as the impact of 3M in our community, was not surprising but there is other
information regarding types of employment, educational attainment, commuting patterns and
much more that was new information.
We believe that you will find both presentations to be enlightening and useful as we begin this
year’s strategic planning process.
Budget Impact
None
Recommendation
There is no action required.
