City of Ramsey <br /> <br />15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55209 <br /> <br />PHONE (612) 427-1410 FAX (612) 427-5543 <br /> TDD (612) 427-8591 <br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Re: <br /> <br />Economic Development Authority (EDA) <br /> <br />Community Development Assistant Sean Walther <br /> <br />March 3, 1999 <br /> <br />Staff Updates <br /> <br />Budget Update: Please find the attached City Council Case coversheet prepared by <br />Finance Officer Diana Lurid. <br /> <br />North Suburban Home Improvement Show: As of March 2, 1999, we have <br />gathered roughly 46 vendors to exhibit at the event. We are still working to fill the <br />three remaining booths, and firm up the commitments to perform informational <br />seminars. Each City will have a six-foot table available for handouts and other <br />information for residents in attendance. The Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce is <br />providing concessions as a fundraising event. The committee anticipates being able <br />to retum one half of each city's $1,500 donation. Attached for your information is a <br />list of the vendors, the budget and the advertisement flyer. Please promote the event <br />to your friends and neighbors! <br /> <br />Business Appreciation Day: Mayor Gamec and City staff have been negotiating <br />with The Links at Northfork on prices for the golf tournament and the dinner following. <br />The last two years the event was held at Rum River Golf Course and McDuff's <br />Restaurant, at a cost of $55 per golfer for 18-holes, dinner and $3 credit at the pro <br />shop. It has been the practice up until last year to .alternate between The Links and <br />Rum River Hills. The Links have offered to host the golf tournament at a cost of $55. <br />However, a 12 oz. New York Strip steak dinner will cost about $20 a person through <br />their usual caterer. The Mayor is exploring other options for the dinner, including <br />moving the dinner to J.R,'s reception hall or possibly finding a different caterer. If we <br />hold the entire event at The Links, we probably need to charge participants about <br />$85 for the event. This is a $20 increase from last year. Mayor Gamec may attend <br />the March 9 meeting to discuss this issue. Attached for your review is the <br />toumament and dinner information we have received from The Links at Northfork. <br /> <br /> <br />
