In 1995, the City is again planning to have a booth at the Game <br />Fair. The weekends for the Game Fair will be August ll, 1.-2 and 13, and August 18, 19 and 20. <br />As all of you are aware, the City's booth needs to be occupied at all times and since the EDC is one <br />of the sponsoring Commissions, we should provide at least a strong contingent of representatives <br />in the booth. U~ormnately in 1994, there were some problems with having enough people to <br />staff the booth, m~nty because of events that were scheduled prior to the City's decision to have a <br />booth at the Gam~ Fair. He stated this year there is suitable foreknowledge of the event and he <br />asked everyone to ~:onsider assisting with the staff'mg. The booth will cost the City $200, which is <br />less than the normal cost of booths. There will be $425 available from the Economic Development <br />Commission/AuthI>rities budget. The biggest item at the booth was the Anoka County map that <br />was supplied by the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has said that the>, will reserve three to <br />four cases of map~ for the City's use again at this event. The City will also be looking for <br />additional materials to pass out at the booth, such as pens, pencils, or something like that. We <br />should discuss the idea further. He welcomed suggestions. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kent suggested that this issue be on the agenda in two to three months again. <br />It was the consensu~ of the Commission that this was the best course of action. <br /> <br />Case #4 1995 Ramsey Business Expo <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Gromberg stated the commission has discussed changing the <br />date of the BusinessiExpo from the fall of the year to the spring and that it be held in conjunction <br />with the Lion's Conlmunity Picnic. Combining these two events will allow reduced cost in both <br />time and money. At this time, the Economic Development Comrrfission should do two things: 1) <br /> <br /> Economic Development Commission / December i, 1994 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
