(~O1V[MISSION BIJSINES~ <br /> <br />Case #1: Discussion of .McKinley Street t~xtension and Business Incubator <br /> <br />The extension of McKinley Street remains an unresolved issue. Easements and right-of-ways <br />need to be obtained. It is the opinion of the Economic Development Commission that the easements <br />and right-of-ways should include an area for storm water ponding. The storm sewers are already <br />in place. The alignment of the McKinley Street Extension is an issued that needs to be discussed <br />with the City of Anoka. The Economic Development Commission feels that a business incubator <br />should be located near the extension of McKinley Street. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Fults and duly seconded by Commissioner Ippel to direct <br />City Staff (City Attorney Bill Goodrich, City Engineer Peter Raatikka, and Community <br />Development Director Mark Banwart) to initiate the easement and right-of-way acquisition <br />across the Spone and Eggum properties. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Wagner, Commissioners Fults, Ippel, Hardin, and <br />Wiley. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Goreeki, Greenberg, Muller, and Vevea. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Ippel and duly seconded by Commissioner Fults to ask City <br />Council to request that City Engineer Peter Raatikka study the feasibility of extending city sewer <br />and water and identifying road right-of-way West of Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. along the <br />McKinley Street extension into the industrial area. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Wagner, Commissioners Ippel, Fults, Hardin, and <br />Wiley. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Gorecki, Greenberg, Muller, and Vevea. <br /> <br />Case #2: <br /> <br />Star City Review, <br /> <br />Commissioner Ippel reported that the Business Retention and Expansion Program is underway. <br />The survey has been sent out and he is awaiting the responses. In March of 1990 the City of Ramsey <br />may be ready for evaluation of Star City status. There are still some items that need to be <br />completed. It was mentioned that the marketing team should be able to draw off the resources of a <br />pool of people in various businesses to speak with people considering moving their businesses to <br />Ramsey in order for them to speak with someone with common interests. Commissioner Ippel will <br />give an update on this case at the next regular meeting of the Economic Development Commission. <br /> <br />Case #3: <br /> <br />_I).i$cu$~i0n of reouesti.ng an Economic Development Staff Person, <br /> <br />Ramsey City Council was sent a letter (attached) from Chairman Wagner and Commissioner <br />Ippel regarding this request for an Economic Development Director.
