<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">For 5 years, our local MS organization (formerly Estacada Development Association) employed a full-time staffperson, Nancy Hoffman. In 2018, the City and EDA decided to bring
the MS program under the economic development “department” of the city and to bring Nancy on as city staff—Main Street Manager. The EDA was effectively dissolved and the board became a commission of the city: the
<b>Downtown Estacada Commission</b>. This model seemed to be working well, despite very reasonable reservations that Sheri and others expressed when we announced the decision to bring Main Street under the City umbrella. The Commission was engaged, and the
subcommittees were active. The 4-point approach was alive and well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In March 2020, at the onset of the pandemic lockdown, Nancy decided to retire. The program remained somewhat inactive for the duration of 2020, but in Q1 of 2021 we have relaunched
with a new commission, comprised of mainly downtown business owners (yay!), and with me as the staff liaison to the Commission… effectively the Main Street Manager. After discussing at length with the City Manager, we just couldn’t justify the rehire of a
full-time Main Street Manager, especially with the pandemic economy and revenues uncertain. I was already doing a lot of “Main Street” work in my capacity, as I manage the urban renewal agency and its grant programs as part of my role as ec dev manager. I
am a BIG believer in the Main Street model of economic development and so the assumption of Main Street into my job description has been pretty natural. We are getting committees relaunched and engaged and there is considerable energy downtown right now, in
the form of revitalization/redevelopment projects, new development, and new business starts. Collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and the Arts Commission. Lots of ideas brewing for how to improve or replace events, with a new emphasis on activities (vs.
huge events) that will bring people downtown more often, albeit in smaller numbers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Here are my unabashedly biased opinions on this topic:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Cities that neglect their local Main Street program and/or do not have an economic development staffperson are being
intellectually dishonest if they also say they are interested in economic development and/or revitalization<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Main Street programs across the country spend (waste?) tons of time and energy just figuring out how they can pay
<b><i>and retain</i></b> a talented Main Street Manager. Many, if not all, MS activities are only executed if they can somehow be monetized. This is truly unfortunate.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The local municipality is uniquely positioned and usually financially capable of employing and retaining someone that
can really make things happen downtown and across the city. Without a competitive salary and benefits, Main Street will always struggle with talent recruitment and retention.
<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">(This does not mean that those of you who are MS Managers are not talented, awesome people.
<b>You are!</b> It just means I can almost guarantee that while you love your work, you are also probably wondering how you can improve your pay and benefits through a potential job change at some point in the future, near or far.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In most cities under pop. 10,000, the work of Main Street is not a full time job. (unpopular opinion, I know) That’s
okay. This is yet another reason why small cities should consider hiring an economic development staffperson who can manage Main Street, AND do other economic development/urban renewal work across the city.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If the city doesn’t want to take on a full-time staffperson, for whatever reason, fine. I get it. Public employees are
REALLY EXPENSIVE. I also agree there are advantages to having Main Street be a standalone nonprofit organization. But, getting back to my first point, the City cannot lament their sleepy downtown and lack of economic growth while simultaneously refusing to
invest in human capital. Any city serious about economic development must support Main Street financially in some shape or form, and integrate their work with the broader work of the city. Full stop.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The focus of our ‘Main Street efforts’ are several annual events and promotions, which I coordinate. Otherwise, I act as Econ Dev coordinator for commercial businesses
(my supervisor handles the industrial park business). I also am the tourism “lead”, focusing on destination development while hiring out the ‘Visit Canby’ marketing/ website/ social. I am also staff liaison to the Bike & Ped Committee and Heritage and Landmarks
Committee. It is a lot of roles, but most of these roles are closely related and the community ‘gets it’ that I am the contact for downtown issues from parking to sidewalk cafes to Façade Improvement Grants. I feel a little disingenuous sometimes saying I’m
a “Main Street Manager”, knowing the very full-time job that that is, and the structure it usually takes. I am exploring the idea of formalizing our downtown association as a City Committee, which I believe could support my work with more committed volunteers/
board members… but hoping to talk to others in this network about that first!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Kelly,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I work for Gold Beach Main Street as a part time staff person (30 hours per week). Currently, and in the past two years, this position has been half-funded by the City of Gold Beach's Urban Renewal Agency since both the URA and our Main
Street program have similar goals. The position is technically a split one, but the city had enough office people for the amount of work it needed once the pandemic hit, so my work wasn't really necessary on their behalf. Though there is a Memorandum of Understanding
between both parties and a general description of responsibilities, there has been less City work than originally planned. I fill in when needed (answering phone calls, doing general city business, directing people to proper departments, etc) and help do things
like stuff monthly bills.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think the biggest purpose I serve is as the bridge to both parties, as I act as the liaison. The few hours I do spend a week on City work doesn't affect my Main Street duties, and since the City has enough staffing they don't have a particular
requirement on how many hours a week I do for them. The City has been very generous for our Main Street program and they also provide the office space, office supplies and support to get things done.<o:p></o:p></p>
