work for the remainder of the year. If there is a spill over that can be accounted for in a different <br />account within the EDA's budget next year for this exact type of work. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if they lean on the Bolton and Mink work they just wrapped up to <br />complete this. <br />Mr. Mulrooney indicated they would and it is valuable information. <br />Member Riley asked if the alternatives are part of the scope they are being given and is there any <br />thinking outside of the box. <br />Mr. Mulrooney stated that is part of the scope they are being given to look at in order to find out <br />what would work best for the City. <br />Chairperson Steffen thanked Mr. Mulrooney for taking the time to discuss this item with the <br />Board and indicated they will look forward to hearing from him in October. <br />Motion by Member Brunt, seconded by Member Burandt, to authorize the ACG to complete the <br />work outlined in the attached proposal, not to exceed 170 hours. <br />Motion carried.

Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama presented the staff report to the Board. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if there is a well-known business owner or entertainer such as Famous <br />Dave or Dick Enricho that they could invite to speak. He thought someone that would be of <br />interest would bring more people out to the event. He stated- he would like to stay away from <br />having a person from the State or MriDOT or Highway 10 Representative. <br />Member Burandt stated it depends on what the goal is of the event, is it to entertain or educate. <br />Member Skaff thought a Congressman might be interesting as a speaker. <br />Member Williams would prefer they focus on content because she thought that would add value <br />to the business community. She stated one of the themes she has heard since last year was <br />businesses looking for employees. She thought they should try to .focus around that angle of <br />employment and provide tools from many of their local businesses on how to find and retain the <br />skills needed and provide some connections of local tech schools and other ways they can give <br />their community something they can take away with them. She would like to see something <br />along the lines of content rather than entertainment. <br />Chairperson Steffen thought the information that Mr. Mulrooney will be putting together may be <br />of interest to the group. <br />Economic Development Authority/September 3, 2015 <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />
