CASE #1 <br /> <br /> RAMSEY BUSINESS NEWSLETTER ,-' <br />By: James Gromberg, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As discussed at the September meeting of the EDC, the possibility should be reviewed of <br />producing a newsletter for the businesses in the City of Ramsey. A newsletter like this would <br />provide both the EDC and City to get timely and important information to the local businesses. <br />This newsletter would be similar to the Ramsey Resident in that no advertising would be sold and <br />the editorial control would be provided by the City. <br /> <br />Based upon the current business mailing list, the newsletter would cost the City $45.69 in postage <br />per marling. The cost of printing would depend upon the design of the newsletter. Included in the <br />meeting packet, are various types of newsletters and how they are designed. At this time, the EDC <br />may want to consider using a single sheet of paper, tri-folded. This would allow for the lowest <br />printing cost as it could be created and printed completely in-house. <br /> <br />I have also included some articles that could be used in the fa:st edition. These articles should give <br />the businesses an idea of what the newsletter will be about and how they may become involved in <br />providing input into future editions. This input may include programs that may be available, short <br />notes about new businesses, or other things that may assist businesses in their development. At <br />this time, we will also need to decide how often the newsletter will be produced, and if that <br />schedule should be adjusted throughout the year. <br /> <br />After the EDC has decided on the layout of the newsletter, mailing frequency, and content, the idea <br />will need to be forwarded to the City Council for their input and approval. At that time, the EDC <br />should make the f'mal plans for distribution of the newsletter. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to submit the proposed business newsletter to the City Council for input and approval. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Economic Development Coordinator <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />EDC: 10/2/95 <br /> <br /> <br />
