The City's involvement is based upon this program being tied to the availability of funds for clean-up programs and other grants from the Metropolitan Council. COMMISSION BUSINESS Case #1: Business Appreciation Day The Commission was informed that the flyers for the August 21, 1996, Business Appreciation Day have been mailed and should be delivered in the next week. In addition, the brochures have been faxed to those additional parties that have requested a copy. The brochure has also been included as an insert in the Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce newsletter. This should arrive at the local businesses during the week of July 15th. The City has currently received reservations for 11 teams and 3 hole sponsors for the event. Since many of the businesses have not yet received the brochure this is a fairly strong turn-out. Each team will receive hats that reflect the company sponsoring the team, In addition to these gifts, the Commission will need to acquire additional door prizes for the dinner portion of the event. The bid from the Links includes $3.00 per golfer in the pro-shop for prizes. It was the consensus of the Commission to review this issue at the next meeting to determine if a final push needs to be undertaken to allow for a full tournament. In addition, the issue of door prizes will need to be addressed if we have not yet received a considerable number of prizes. Commissioners agreed to contact any businesses that they regularly do business with and request the possible donation of door prizes. Additional flyers will be available for the event at the City. Case #2: 1996 Itall of Fame Inductee At the last Commission meeting, discussion began regarding the 1996 inductee to the Ramsey Hall of Fame. It was the consensus of the Commission to consider the list of possible inductees that was developed at the June 6, 1996 meeting, and to come to the July meeting with a recommendation. The Commissioners added the following people for consideration to be inducted into the Ramsey Hall of Fame: Chuck Soderholm John Noard Bill Dubats Jack Kovar Gene Walters The individuals from the original list were: Gary Reimann Bob Brown Bernard Vevea Harold Stoltz Gerald Bauer The Commission discussed the merits of all the candidates for induction, and decided that the 1996 inductee would be John Noard from Anoka-Ramsey Sports.
