Case ~7: Industrial Park Marketing Services City Administrator Schroeder stated that, in the past, the City has not been interested in working with brokers in the marketing of the City's business attraction program. The City of Anoka has had a relationship with a broker for the past two years. Anoka Electric Cooperative is soliciting proposals from brokerage fa'ms and staff has been having discussions with the same fh-ms AEC is considering. Tho mind set is that the two parks should be jointly marketed. Mr. Schroeder stated that staff believes there is a reason to consider marketing services and presented preliminary proposals from United Properties and Welsh Companies. One of these firms will allow the City to continue its own marketing efforts without being subjected to a brokerage fee. The restriction would be that it would be an exclusive arrangement, wherein prospects brought due to their efforts would result in a fee being paid. The advantage is that a national brokerage finn would be working on our behalf in the meantime. He asked to be allowed the opportunity to continue negotiating with these fwrns and others.
