Based upon the discussion, the Commission decided to review the event when requesting bids in <br />March 1996 for the 1996 event. <br /> <br />Case #2: Business Visitations <br /> <br />The EDC began a business visitation program during the winter and spring of 1995. This program <br />was very successful by introducing the Commission to new businesses and preventing the feelings <br />of isolation from the City that have been experienced in the past. It is anticipated that these visits <br />will begin during this fall. At this time, we should choose a day that would work as the visitation <br />day based upon the Commission members' schedules. <br /> <br />Chairperson Wagner, Commissioners McGhee and Stafki said, that with a week's notice, they <br />could be available most any time. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ullen said that she is also available most times; however, her availability will be <br />limited later in the winter. <br /> <br />Commissioners Nelson and Kent explained that they would be available depending upon their <br />work schedules. <br /> <br />It was the general consensus of the EDC to continue scheduling visitations on Thursday mornings <br />with two to three representatives from the City. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ullen asked how long the visits usually take. <br /> <br />Chairperson Wagner stated that they last about 30 minutes, but may take longer if the owners want <br />to give you a tour or are very talkative. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stafld said that the longest one he could remember was with Simpson's Glass, as <br />they had other concerns about issues in the City. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the EDC that the visitations should begin in the next two to three weeks, <br />with Mr. Gromberg arranging the schedule. <br /> <br />Case #3: Commission Vacancy <br /> <br />At the last meeting of the EDC, Chairperson Wagner directed Mr. Gromberg to contact all of the <br />members that have recently had some attendance problems. Based on these discussions, Mr. <br />Marquart has decided to resign from the EDC. As the case states, Mr. Marquart's job has changed <br />and he will be on a second shift for the foreseeable future. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Nelson and seconded by Commissioner Stafki to accept Mr. Marquart's <br />resignation from the Economic Development Commission and to direct City Staff to take the <br />required steps to fill the vacancy. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Wagner, Commissioners Nelson, Kent, Stafki, <br />McGhee and Ullen. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Marquart. <br /> <br />Economic Development Commission/September 7, 1995 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
