Absent: None <br /> <br />Case #2 HIGHWAY 10 MARQUIS SIGN <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan presented case #2. <br /> <br />City Officials began marketing Ramsey, and the Town Center, to potential retailers and <br />developers at the lCSC and they will be continuing that effort. . <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey has been working on defining its identity for a while. A large marquis sign <br />on US Highway 10 defining and being used in conjunction with the Ramsey Town Center <br />activities could be a way to further define Ramsey. The location and the type of sign were <br />discussed. <br /> <br />The recent city purchase of property on US Highway # 10 would be an ideal location for a large <br />marquis sign. This sign would be message sign and it would be used for City events. <br /> <br />Member Elvig stated that he has been in contact with radio station BOB FM and they would be <br />interested in helping the City with an electrical reader board sign. They would help coordinate, <br />maintain, and sell space for ads for this sign. This would be a sign with business advertisements <br />and community events, meeting dates etc. The notion would be that this is City sign first and <br />advertisement sign second. <br /> <br />Member LeTourneau wanted to know more data about costs and the commitments. He would <br />like to see some kind of a cash flow analyzes. <br /> <br />After a discussion it was agreed that having a Marquis sign of some kind, is something EDA <br />would like to look into. A sign that would not look like a billboard but a sign with landscaping, <br />upscale construction. <br /> <br />Staff all agreed that Economic Development Coordinator. Sullivan should continue to gather <br />more information on this issue. This information would be presented at a future meeting. <br /> <br />Case #3: SPONSORSIDP OF ALLINA EVENT <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan presented Case # 3. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan asked for direction for the Allina golf event. <br />It was discussed that with Allina's new clinic being located in the City of Rams.ey it would be <br />important to have a noticeable presence at this event. The Allina event has levels of sponsorship <br />that go beyond entering a foursome. This would be sponsorship from the EDA not the City of <br />Ramsey. <br /> <br />Motion by Member Skaff, seconded by Member Elvig, to provide a sponsorship at the Bogie <br />level. Also sponsor an additional foursome for the Allina Event on July 20th 2009. A Bogie <br /> <br />Econo~ic Development Authority/July 9th 2009 <br />Page 3 of7 <br /> <br />3 <br />
