COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #I: 1995 Ramsey Business Appreciation Day <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg reviewed the actions of the EDC members that were present at the July meeting, at <br />which time the members divided the businesses into geographical areas. These areas were <br /> <br />assigned as follows: <br /> Chairperson Kenneth Wagner <br /> Commissioner Carolyn Nelson <br /> Commissioner Allen Stafki <br /> Commissioner David Kent <br /> Commissioner Mary Ullen <br /> Jim Gromberg <br /> <br />North Side of Highway #10 <br />City of Elk River <br />Rum River Plaza area <br />Rivers Bend Plaza area <br />South Side of Highway #10 <br />Industrial area <br /> <br />Chairperson Wagner informed the EDC that he would be taking both sides of Highway #10 as <br />Commissioner Ullen would be unable to contact them prior to the event. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg reported that payment had been received from the following seven teams: <br /> <br />Miller Construction & Architects <br />Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce <br />Saxon Printing/G's Cafe etc. <br />Anoka Electric Cooperative <br />A & R Manufacturing <br />Durand Woodworking <br /> <br />teams <br />team <br />team <br />team <br />team <br />team <br /> <br />In addition, the City has received a verbal commitment from a number of other organizations. <br />People will be allowed to pay at the door; however, they must be reminded they will be billed for <br />the team, even if they fail to show up. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kent informed the EDC that his fn'm would be having only one team rather than the <br />previously proposed two teams. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stafki stated that Green Realty intended to have a team and that Tafoya Salon will <br />be donating 25 tee-shirts as door prizes. <br /> <br />The tee-packs that were ordered have arrived and were distributed for approval by the EDC. Each <br />golfer will receive a packet (which contains 9 tees and 2 balls with the City's logo) at the time of <br />registration. It was the general consensus that they turned out very well. <br /> <br />The EDC then discussed the donation of a door prize or prizes by the EDC. Based upon <br />discussion, it was decided to purchase one oversize driver for about $65. This will keep the cost <br />to about $12.00 per person if all of the EDC members participate. Mr. Gromberg stated that he <br />would be contacting the absent members as to their willingness to share in the prize cost. <br /> <br />Case #2: Game Fair Booth <br /> <br />The 1995 Game Fair is scheduled for the weekends of August 11 through 13 and August 28 <br />through 20, 1995. The City will once again host a booth which will require staffing all six days. <br />Currently, there are volunteers for Friday August 11, Saturday morning August 12th, and one spot <br />on Sunday afternoon August 20th. This leaves many open spaces for the EDC members to <br />volunteer. <br /> <br />Economic Development Commission/August 3, 1995 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
