Update from Grow Cedar Valley.
David Wilson, Grow Cedar Valley Chair, introduced himself and provided an overview of Grow
Cedar Valley's mission.
Lisa Skubal, Grow Cedar Valley Economic Development, provided an update of the economic
development services provided by Grow Cedar Valley.
Stephanie Detweiler, Workforce and Talent Director, shared that they have been working on a
population study using a data source that has predicted that the Cedar Valley is estimated to
decline in population by .6% over the next five years. The goal is to grow the workforce
population proactively. As such, they have assembled a steering committee comprised of
people from Waterloo and Cedar Falls, business leaders, etc. and they have started an RFP to
hire a consultant to undertake a workforce study. She further shared how the Community
Champion Program works to attract people from other states who would potentially move to
Iowa. Since June, fifteen hundred people have filled out a contact form that is funneled to
different communities and sixty-two of those have been funneled to Waterloo/Cedar Falls. She
explained that it is a long process that is focused on building relationships and connecting them
with a particular industry that they might be interested in working in. She commented that the
Talent Connection Network is collaborating with Iowa Work Force Development to assist with
displaced John Deere salaried employees. A private web page has been created that provides
potential opportunities along with direct contact information for human resources. Since its
creation, there have been fifty individual users who have accessed the page and one hundred
and twenty-seven page views. She provided an update on how the Cedar Valley Intern Connect
Program is working.

Katy Susong, President of Grow Cedar Valley, commented that one of their priorities is to build
on the Young Professional programming. They are very excited about the opportunities to
connect with and retain our young professional community. She shared that they will continue
to send out the quarterly updates on the twelve priority projects.
Mr. Nichols requested clarification on the Talent Connections Network.
Stephanie Detweiler shared that she has reached out to connections she has in the community.
She also developed a quarterly survey that she sends out to companies requesting the number
of open hourly and salaried positions they have as well as total employment. She uses this as a
guide to reach out to a company and make sure they get on this website.
Mr. Nichols questioned if that is information that a person seeking employment could use as
well.
Stephanie Detweiler shared that it is currently just for those salaried workers affected by the
John Deere layoff. But it does open up an opportunity if it works well.
Mr. Nichols questioned how someone would connect with the Young Professionals group.
Katy Susong explained that it is still in the planning stages, and they are hoping to launch an
event in January. Information will be made available in the next few weeks on the Grow Cedar
Valley website on how people can engage.
Ms. Wilder questioned what factors are contributing to the decline in the population.
Stephanie Detweiler shared that they have data on who is leaving but no specific data on why
and that is what we are looking to the consultant to help us with.
Mr. Simon questioned who was leaving.
Stephanie Detweiler shared that the majority are white 25-29 year-olds.
Mr. Boesen questioned who the four major businesses are that they are working with.
Stephanie Detweiler stated those are John Deere, Target, Unity Point and Veridian Credit
Union.

Other Updates to the Ordinances Needed
• The updates to the ordinance that Mohammad and Tina had reviewed were sent as a
separate attachment. These were slightly reviewed last Work Session but were tabled
until we had kiosks and knew what route we wanted to go with rates.
• At the very least, we need to review the other changes not related to rates today to
make sure we can update the ordinance so the pay stations are compliant with the city
traffic code as well as the updating the time zones.
