to prepare and authorize the Executive
with Tom Eidem for contracted downtown
in an amount not to exceed $75,000.
As a result of recent staff changes and vacancies within the Community
Development Agency, it is necessary to assign the responsibility of
managing the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) operations to
an interim downtown manager. Tom Eidem brings 30 years of experience as
a management and economic development professional. Tom's experience
includes 11 years management in non - profit economic development
organizations, and 11 -plus years as a city manager. Recent consulting
projects have involved developing comprehensive economic revitalization
strategies, including preparing recruitment and marketing programs, Board
development and mentoring, BID /PBID formation, organizational audits,
incorporation, and restructuring.
By utilizing the services of Tom Eidem as an interim manager, the City
has the unique opportunity to address both staffing the downtown office
and developing and initiating a downtown economic strategy, which is
crucial to downtown's continued evolution. Mr. Eidem offers the key
resources to coordinate this ambitious undertaking.
As the City evaluates how best to develop and implement its long -range
economic initiatives, it is recommended that this agreement identifying
Mr. Eidem as the Interim Downtown Manager, be approved in an amount not
to exceed $75,000.
