SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• This item seeks Council approval of a Data Sharing and License Agreement to obtain Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data for economic development and planning purposes.
• The Agreement has an initial one-year term with automatic renewals and a cost of $230 per report provided.
• This is a new agreement required to access CDLE data and has not previously been presented to Council.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Town of Erie utilizes labor market data to support economic development initiatives, business retention and expansion efforts, and long-range planning. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) maintains Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data, which provides detailed information on employment and wages across industries and geographies.
The proposed Data Sharing and License Agreement establishes the terms under which the Town may access and use this data for internal analysis and public policy development. The Agreement includes provisions related to data security, confidentiality, and permitted uses, and requires payment on a per-report basis. Approval of this agreement will allow staff to obtain more detailed and reliable labor market data to inform decision-making and support economic development strategy.
