<br />EDA BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: <br /> <br />MARQUIS SIGN INFORMATION (PRESENTATION) <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan presented Case #1. <br /> <br />John Mylrea and a representative from Daktronics were scheduled to give a presentation and <br />discuss sign information in greater detail but were unable to attend the meeting due to bad <br />weather. In lieu of the presentation, the EDA discussed several key points of consideration such <br />as the type of sign desired, size of the sign, sign use, ownership of the sign, funding of the sign, <br />advertising revenue, and whether or not the sign may be placed on Hwy 10. <br /> <br />Member Elvig questioned whether or not the EDA would consider pursuing a sign privately as <br />he feels it could be built for less money. He noted that BOB FM approached him and expressed <br />interest in this project. Economic Development Consultant, Mike Mulrooney, suggested that <br />research be done on the newly installed sign at McCarthy Auto W orId in Coon Rapids. Since it <br />is a recent structure, the costs associated with its construction would be current numbers. <br /> <br />It was determined that more information is needed before any decisions can be made. Economic <br />Development Coordinator Sullivan was directed to contact BOB FM for more information <br />regarding what they envision for this project and what their terms are; contact McCarthy Auto <br />W orId for information regarding construction of their sign; request the sign ordinance from the <br />City of Coon Rapids; and finally, reschedule Daktronics. <br /> <br />Case #2: <br /> <br />CONSIDER PROPOSALS TO CONTRACT CONSULTING SERVICES <br />TO PURSUE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE <br />IMPREOVEMENTS <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan presented Case #2. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan introduced Elwyn Tinklenberg and Jodi Ruehle <br />from The Tinklenberg Group. There are two proposals from The Tinklenberg Group up for <br />consideration. <br /> <br />The first proposal is to pursue federal funding as part of the 2010 Reauthorization Bill, Fiscal <br />Year 2011 Appropriations Bill, and state legislation on the city's behalf to secure Commuter Rail <br />Station funding. This proposal would require The Tinklenberg Group to work closely with <br />Congress and State Officials, and the proposal would secure their services through June 30, <br />2010. The cost ofthis proposal is $49,500 plus travel and expenses. <br /> <br />The second proposal focuses on securing NCDA funds, which would provide funding for <br />construction of the Ramsey rail station. This proposal is not to exceed $15,500 plus travel and <br />other expenses, and services would be in effect through March 31, 2010. <br /> <br />Economic Development Authority / December 10, 2009 <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
