have found this magazine to be very successful and have used it at many shows. He suggested <br /> they keep the ad very general in scope, discuss the benefits of Ramsey and not what sites are <br /> available. He indicated$5,000 is not a lot to spend. <br /> Chairperson Steffen wondered when the sites will be shovel ready. <br /> Mr. Granberg stated they will set up a schedule to see how this will work now that it has been <br /> approved. He thought it could be done by this fall but would work with City staff on an <br /> acceptable time line. <br /> Member Williams thought this is a great idea but wondered if staff asked CBRE because she <br /> thought that was a part of what they were to provide the City. <br /> Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated this specific advertisement has <br /> not been discussed but there has been general discussion regarding advertising. He stated CBRE <br /> placed ads last year and this year they have not done anything so far. Before they bring this to <br /> the Council he would be open to discussing this with CBRE. <br /> Motion by Member Steffen, seconded by Member Hardin, to authorize staff to utilize up to <br /> $5,000 of the EDA budget to select, design, and publish an ad in the 2017 MN DEED/Business <br /> Climate annual publication. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Steffen, Members Hardin, Riley, Skaff, and Williams. <br /> Voting No: None. Absent: Members Brunt and Burandt. <br /> 4.03: Future Business Park (Right of First Refusal Agreement to Purchase Real Estate) <br /> Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama presented the staff report. <br /> Motion by Member Skaff, seconded by Member Hardin, to recommend to City Council to <br /> approve the Right of First Refusal Agreement to Purchase Real Estate; subject to review and <br /> amendments by the City Attorney. <br /> Further Discussion: Member Riley did not think this was their idea and discussed waiting to see <br /> what would happen. Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated this is an <br /> initiative staff brought forward but fit in generally with what was discussed. He stated this <br /> protects the EDA and allows them the first right to purchase the property in the next six months. <br /> Member Williams stated this also clearly communicates to the listing agent and the individual <br /> purchaser that the City has other thoughts on this matter. Member Riley stated he will not vote <br /> in favor of this because he does not want to vote in favor of something he does not want the City <br /> to own. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Steffen, Members Skaff, Hardin, and Williams. <br /> Voting No: Riley. Absent: Members Brunt and Burandt. <br /> 5.
