The speaker <br />was Mr. Dave Gustafson of the AFL-CIO. He spoke on State unemployement com- <br />pensation, stating that the State is $312 million in debt. The situation is <br />getting worse, not better. The only way out is to charge employee~more money <br />and lower benefits. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />Economic Subcommittee - Commissioner Schneider stated that they are working on <br />the brochure and will be getting together with Princess Printing soon and may <br />have a rough draft ready for the next meeting. He stated that Mayor Gamec <br />said there are funds available from the City to pay for pri,nting. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said we may have $3,000 to $4,000 from part of community block <br />grant funds. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fults stated they would like to print a few pictures of businesses <br />in Ramsey. He asked if the City had any pictures of City Hall or any of the <br />community's business places. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated the Officer Bob Kuhn has taken pictures of various City <br />businesses and that he does a good job, but he feels that if we are to print <br />them in a brochure promoting the City, we should engage a professional photo- <br />grapher. <br /> <br />c) <br /> <br />Finance Subcommittee - Commissioner Schmidt stated that the Small Business <br />Administration has come out with a new program for businesses importing and <br />exporting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sentryz asked where he gets information on grants. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schmidt stated through the SBA. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said that he sometimes receives information at the City about grants <br />coming up. <br /> <br />Case #2: Adoption of Local Development Company By Laws and Filing of Commissioner <br /> <br />of Securities Registration Statement and Review 'Adoption of Stock Sale <br /> <br />Prospectus: <br /> <br />The by-laws of the Local Development Company were discussed by ~he Commission. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich explained that the office of the Corporation would be the <br />City Hall and the boundaries would be the corporate City limits of Ramsey, unless <br />we wanted to include a larger area, such as Burns Township. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that Burns wants to remain a rural farming community so it would <br />be best to just stick with Ramsey at the present. <br /> <br />Commission Schmidt stated that we could always amend the by-laws at a later date <br />if Burns would be interested. <br /> <br />Economic Development Commission <br /> December 8, 1982 <br /> page 2 O~ 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
