As the City undertakes new economic development initiatives, this is an appropriate time to evaluate BRE&A activities going forward. Staff is seeking feedback regarding the business outreach approach and whether the City should continue contracting with the St. Paul Area Chamber or transition this work in-house as a city staff function in 2026. Recommended Action: The item is for discussion purposes only. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $10,000 per year for contracted BRE&A services with the St Paul Area Chamber. Financing source(s):Adopted BudgetBudget ModificationNew Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: n/a Strategic Plan Relevance: Safety Sustainability Development Grow a vibrant and resilient business community The purpose of BRE&A efforts is to support and expand the Maplewood business community. Background: An important part of supporting the Maplewood business community is connecting with them through BRE&A meetings. These meetings tend to focus on the following areas: Demonstrate to businesses that the City supports and appreciates their presence. Get an understanding of any immediate barriers, challenges and opportunities. Collect baseline business data that will help inform the City on the business climate. EDA Packet Page Number 23 of 34 G2 Build a relationship with the business community to foster growth and expansion in the City. In 2017, there were renewed efforts made by chambers and economic development agencies to contract with cities to assist with BRE&A work. To expand its capacity, the City entered into a professional service agreement with SPAC to assist with BRE&A efforts. The agreement stated the following scope of services would be conducted by SPAC each year: Guide the recruitment of a BRE&A participant pool. Work with city staff to identify businesses to be contacted for interviews. Provide administrative support in scheduling visits. Participate in no fewer than 15 and no more than 20 business visits. Transcribe notes from each visit and deliver to city contact person. Coordinated reporting of regional business and real estate activity. Year-end report, detailing BRE&A findings and recommendations. SPAC is requesting a new Professional Services Agreement for January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026 (attached). The only change of service shows a decrease in business visits to no fewer than 12 and no more than 20 business visits, versus the current language of no fewer than 15 and no more than 20 business visits. In recent years BRE&A efforts have focused on conducting business visits with ten different Maplewood businesses each year and meeting annually with the following community anchors: St John’s Hospital 3M Maplewood Mall Independent School District 622 Independent School District 623 As the EDA discusses BRE&A efforts, staff would appreciate feedback on the following questions: 1.Are there any business sectors or geographic areas to focus on in 2026? 2.Is the number of businesses and frequency still appropriate? 3.Should the City continue to contract with the St Paul Area Chamber to conduct this work or rather bring it fully in-house as a city staff function in 2026?
