<br />CASE # 3 <br /> <br />BUSINESS NETWORK MEETING <br />By: Sean Sullivan, Economic Development/TIF Specialist <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The EDA has determined it is beneficial to continue to host Business Network Meetings. At the <br />last EDA meeting a recommendation was made to select Tim Pawlenty as the speaker for the <br />Business Network Meeting with Charlie Weaver being the alternate. The date for the meeting <br />was also recommended to be sometime in March of2008. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Staff has not received confirmation of the Governor's availability for the 2008 Business Network <br />Meeting. The Mayor has suggested that the EDA consider Matt Entenza as a potential speaker <br />for the Spring meeting. Mr. Entenza could speak about the 20/20 group that has formed and <br />speak about transportation issues in the Region. More information will be provided by the <br />Mayor at the meeting. It appears as if Mr. Entenza might also be a good alternate option for the <br />meeting so it would be prudent to open this up for discussion. <br /> <br />Funding Source: <br /> <br />EDA levy <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Direct Staff to contact <br />and confirm availability dates. <br /> <br />to be speaker at the 2008 Business Network Meeting <br /> <br />EDA Action: <br /> <br />Motion to direct Staff to contact <br />Meeting and confirm availability dates. <br /> <br />to be speaker at the 2008 Business Network <br /> <br />EDA: 12.13.07 <br /> <br />20 <br />
