Action Requested
Information presented for discussion only. Action is to be taken at the August 19, 2019, EDA meeting.
Background/Discussion
At their July 15, 2019, special meeting the EDA directed staff to increase legal expenditures to $6,000. In
addition, the EDA asked for more information on the International Development Council’s (IEDC),
Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) Certification. As adjusted, the proposed expenditures are
$342,950.
The CEcD certification establishes a baseline of core knowledge for economic development
professionals. IEDC's CEcD are acknowledged around the world as having achieved the pinnacle of
excellence in the economic development field:
1. Experience as an economic development practitioner
Candidates are required to have at least four (4) years of consecutive, paid, full-time economic
development related experience. Positions should be directly related to economic development
activity. Candidates must provide a recent, detailed resume to verify this criterion.
2. Professional development activity
IEDC emphasizes professional development for the Certified Economic Developer. In order to
qualify for the exam and ensure that the candidate is exposed to the various aspects of economic
development, individuals are required to attend practitioner-based training courses.
Core Competency courses (required):
1
• Introduction to Economic Development or Basic Economic Development Course (BEDC)
• Business Retention and Expansion
2
• Economic Development Credit Analysis
3
• Real Estate Development & Reuse
Elective Competency Courses (must take a minimum of 2):
• Economic Development Finance
• Economic Development Marketing & Attraction
• Economic Development Strategic Planning
The Elk River Vision
A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional
service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity
• Entrepreneurial and Small Business Development Strategies
• Neighborhood Development Strategies
• Management Economic Development Organizations
• Technology-led Economic Development
• Workforce Development
The cost of each course ranges from $490 and $595, depending if the course can be completed in two or
three days. I have completed two of the regular courses and one elective. Every effort will be made to
take the courses locally.
In order to meet the requirements of the EDA Bylaws, the EDA must approve the budget at their
August 19, 2019, regular meeting, and make recommendation to the City Council on September 3, 2019.
The EDA levy options are as follows:
1) A Balanced Rate
2) 0.01813% Maximum Rate
All levy options are applied against the Estimated Market Value that will be obtained from Sherburne
County. In addition to the tax levy, we also calculate interest income of $5,000 and $3,500 transfer from
the HRA for supplies and shared costs.

There are a lot of professional development opportunities out
there. Why choose IEDC? Here are a few good reasons:
• An IEDC course provides practical, practitioner-based educational
opportunities. Attendees leave our courses with concrete tools and strategies,
not just theories and abstract concepts.
• Our courses give participants the opportunity to learn from recognized experts
throughout the U.S. and Canada in a variety of locations, helping to save time
and money. Check out our course bundles and online options.
•
IEDC education courses. In addition to the wealth of knowledge the instructors
share, we believe peer-to-peer learning should be an integral part of adult
education. We make sure participants have the platform to share their own
ideas and learn from their colleagues as well.
• Taking an IEDC education course sets attendees on the path to meeting the
professional development requirements to sit for the CEcD exam.
