<br />Mayor Gamec reiterated that he likes the Ramsey Resident as it is. He stated that he thinks <br />people love it and doesn't think they would like the advertising; however, he would be interested <br />to see one of the newsletters they have done for other cities. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jeffrey stated that if the City is going to get into the advertising business, he <br />thinks the City should be selling our own ads and gleaning the revenue. He stated that he doesn't <br />see the benefit to the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that given the current economic times and everyone getting more <br />creative with marketing, he is in favor of allowing Ramsey businesses to promote themselves <br />and trying to help them in a difficult economy. He stated that if they can market their businesses <br />to Ramsey residents, then more power to them. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated that he agrees that if there could be a sheet of ads on the back on the <br />newsletter for people to advertise, he would support that. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich confirmed that they were talking about utilizing our own newsletter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig left the meeting at 9: 17 p.m. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that years ago when he worked on this, it was time consuming to sell the <br />ads. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that perhaps staff could solicit business through e-mail rather <br />than going out to businesses. He noted that staff would check into this and bring back more info <br />to the Council. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson confirmed that the Council was not interested in the joint <br />Community Guide at this point. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would like to look at other city guides to see how that will differ <br />from the Chamber guide. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that he would let Anoka know that the City is not interested in <br />this project this year. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested that due to the late hour, the remaining agenda items be postponed. <br /> <br />5) Health Impact Assessment <br /> <br />Community Development Director Miller stated that the Health Impact Assessment would be <br />included in the Comprehensive Plan and suggested that Council look at the information included <br />in the packet. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / October 7, 2008 <br />Page 13 of 14 <br />
