The Commission should also <br />discuss how, if any, the City should advertise in <br />Market Focus. <br /> <br />As most of you know, Anoka has just reoeived the 'Star <br />City' status from the Minnesota Department of Energy <br />and Economic Developaent and Champlin is pursuing 'Star <br />City' designation. The 'Star City' program is an <br />economic development strategy for Minnesota cities <br />which involves fulfilling certain requirements (such as <br />preparing a promotional brochure for the city, <br />producing a slide show/video tape on the city, etc. ) <br />specified by the Minnesota Department of Energy and <br />Economic Development. <br /> <br />For your review and information, Enclosure (D2-b) <br />oontains an informational brochure on the 'Star City' <br />progr~. <br /> <br />Your action will be to determine whether the Commission <br />is interested in further discussion with the Minnesota <br />Department of Energy and Economic Development regarding <br />participation in the 'Star City' progrsm. <br /> <br />As directed by the Commission, the Publicity <br />Subcommittee met with Terry O'Connell, Quad Cities <br />Cable Administrator, to discuss the possible uses of <br />Cable T.V. for economic development activities. The <br />Subcommittee discussed possibilities including <br />teleconferencing, periodic programs, and video tours of <br />the City. Based on Terry O'Connell's citation of <br />{ha~plin's tape (based on approximately 80 slides), the <br />Subcommittee concluded that the Commission could make a <br />tape using existirg slides and photo~ra~hs. <br /> <br />~nmt~ion A~tton: <br /> <br />Your action will be to discuss whether the Commission <br />is interested in pursuing production of a promotional <br />video tape for the City. If you are interested, you <br />may wish to name a subcommittee (with participants from <br />other City com~issions for a broader perspective) other <br />than the Publicity Subcommittee to work on the tape or <br />to ~ather further information on such a p~oject. <br /> <br /> <br />
