Voting Yes: Chairperson Wagner, Commissioners Kent, Ullen, and Nelson. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Stafld, McGhee, and Marquart. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg has not ordered the Tee Packs that were discussed previously, as they were more <br />expensive than originally projected. Alternate promotional items may be considered. In <br />comparison, the hats that were distributed costs $3.69 each. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Nelson and seconded by Commissioner Ullen to purchase the Tee packs <br />for the 1995 Business Appreciation Day with the City Logo on each of the balls. <br /> <br />Motion carded. Voting Yes: Chairperson Wagner, Commissioners Nelson, Ullen, and Kent. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Stafld, McGhee, and Marquart. <br /> <br />At the next meeting of the EDC, the acquisition of door prizes will be reviewed. Making contact <br />with the various businesses should be planned as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Case #3: Marketing Plan for Industrial Park. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kent and Mr. Gromberg met to review proposals for advertising the property <br />currently owned by the City for industrial development. The City has recently purchased the 34- <br />acre "Spohn" property that separates the City of Ramsey's from the City of Anoka's industrial <br />park. This completes the control of all the property between the two cities. This purchase will also <br />increase the City's holdings in excess of 100 acres of commercial/indusu-ial property. This makes <br />development of a stronger marketing plan all the more important. In addition the City has spoken <br />with the Minnesota Real Estate Journal as they are currently doing an article highlighting <br />development along Highway #10 from Elk River to Coon Rapids. This will be published in the <br />next couple of weeks and will be forwarded to the EDC in their next agenda packet. The EDC may <br />wish to review the possibility of placing an ad in the Journal highlighting the City of Ramsey. <br /> <br />The EDC reviewed the map and proposed information for the ad in the Journal. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Nelson and seconded by Commissioner Kent to authorize publication of <br />an ad in the Minnesota Real Estate Journal with the article regarding development along Highway <br />#10. <br /> <br />Motion carded. Voting Yes: Chairperson Wagner, Commissioners Nelson, Ullen, and Kent. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Stafki, McGhee, and Marquart. <br /> <br />In addition to the marketing plan for the industrial park area, the City may want to consider <br />developing covenants for this area. Copies of covenants adopted for the Anoka enterprise park <br />were distributed to the EDC members. These covenants have been changed to reflect the City of <br />Ramsey; however, we need to review them in the event changes are desired. <br /> <br />Chairperson Wagner pointed out that on Page 5, in Section 3.01, there appears to be a typo error <br />wherein it states that "Declarant shall give at least 30 days, but not less than 90 days", it should <br />read "but not more than 90 days". <br /> <br />They draft document was discussed by the EDC. It was suggested that the Economic Development <br />Authority plus two property owners serve as the Architectural Review Board. Review will <br />continue after updates are received from City Attorney Goodrich and City Staff. <br /> <br />Economic Development Commission/June 8, 1995 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
