Comfort Suites is owned by GB Properties the Grosslein <br />family is GB Properties, so Grosslein is still a presence in Ramsey. The Grosslein Beverage <br />location is being used by Dahlheimer as a temporary overflow facility and is currently for sale. <br /> <br />Discussion opened by City A4ministrator Ulrich, is the location suitable for a gun range, we <br />have someone interested in a gun range in Ramsey and are looking for a suitable site. Economic <br />Development Coordinator Sullivan will add the site to the list. <br /> <br />Town Center: Closing still o~ schedule for Friday June 26, 2009. <br /> <br />Business Expo: The Expo was held as scheduled on April 25, 2009, there were 45 businesses <br />that were in attendance; 2 did not show up. The Expo was a hit, all feedback was positive and <br />the businesses and residents expressed the need to bring this event back again next year. There <br />. was a synergy between the Environmental Expo/Tree Sale & the Business Expo, and staff would <br />like to coordinate the events to be held together again for 20 10 if possible. Thoughts are to fmd <br />a location that can support both events together at one location, or to hold them separately and at <br />different times, as the Tree Sale is limited to the tree planting season. The Lord of Life Church <br />and the Fountains of Ramsey were suggested at future sites for the event. This topic will be <br />revisted at a later meeting. <br /> <br />MEMBER INPUT <br /> <br />Tinklenberg Group: Chairperson Riley has asked how Tinklenberg running for office affects <br />the contract that the city holds with The Tinklenberg Group and if it will impact the re- <br />appropriation process. Member Look weighed in and reiterated that he was assured by a credible <br />source in the Bachmann office yesterday that that did not impact their decision. Economic <br />Development Coordinator Sullivan stated that Staff was directed to get some private <br />participation to supplement $18,000.00 EDA allocation. City Administrator Ulrich weighed in <br />that a great majority of the money came from Jim Deal and that the other portion came from <br />Dennis Sharp. The Bachmann office did not submit the Ramsey project as part of the <br />reauthorization package. There were 25 other projects to choose from and only 5 were selected. <br />The $36,000.00 expenditure for lobbying hasn't produced immediate results but valuable <br />relationships have been built and there are other avenues in the Senate that have yet to be <br />exhausted. Efforts to work with Franken's and Klobachar's offices to move this project forward <br />will continue. <br /> <br />Store Closing: Comrhunity Development Directoru Miller reported that .. Midwest -Wine & <br />Apparel located on the comer of Bunker Lake Blvd NW and St. Francis Blvd NW would be <br />closing, not sure of the final close date. - <br /> <br />Economic Development Authority I June 11,2009 <br />Page 5 of6 <br /> <br />5 <br />
