Mr. Hartley explained the Star City Program and the process by which such a <br />designation is obtained. It is a long involved process that cannot be <br />accomplished by city staff alone; reguires the involvement of all community <br />leaders. <br /> <br />Nr. Ippel reviewed three options prepared by him regarding the hiring of a <br />consultant, through the ~conomic Development Company~ to handle various aspects <br />associated with promoting industrial development in Ramsey. <br /> <br />General consensus is that there is a need for additional staffing to head up <br />industrial development tasks but more research of the issue is required before <br />making and specific recommendations to Council. <br /> <br />COMMISSION INPUT <br /> <br />General consensus was that tonight's meeting generated the following goals: <br /> <br />1. Adhere to codes that are in place to create more orderly future <br /> development. <br /> <br />2. Prepare a clear and concise checklist of criteria and requirements <br /> for developers to refer to. <br /> <br />3. Strive for increased liaison communication between the commissions <br /> and city council and between the commissions themselves. <br /> <br />Schedule another joint Planning and Zoning/Economic Development <br />meeting for Sept. 30 with Planning and Zoning addressing EDC's <br />hypothetical proposal for a used car sales lot on Hwy. #10 and EDC <br />presenting an ideal development plan for property along Hwy. ~10. <br /> <br />The joint Planning and Zoning/Econ~ic Development meeting adjourned at 10:40 <br />p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Sylvia Frolik <br />Secretary <br /> <br />Anne Norris <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />July 15, 1986 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
