Motion by Commissioner Cox that the front cover of the Economic Develo[~ment <br />Brochure be a picture collage of existing businesses in Ramsey and that the <br />size of the oollage be appropriately planned in order to allow for a front <br />cover heading. Further, that on page 2, that space marked for 'Staff' will be <br />a picture of City Hall. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Commissioner Cox informed Ms. Norris that when the <br />necessary pictures for the brochure are being taken, he would like the <br />photographer to also get pictures of Ramsey Elementary and City Hall to be <br />used on playing cards which will be sold to aid in the cost of park <br />development. Councilmember Schlueter noted that Central Park should be <br />included on the 'City Services' page. Commission discussed the possibility of <br />a picture oollage of Ramsey's parks be prepared in the summer months when the <br />parks are actively in use. Discussion ensued regarding that the picture <br />collage of businesses should also be during a busy time of day for that <br />business and during the summer months. Commissioner Vevea noted that there is <br />not a lot of room on the front cover for a collage; it might not be fair to <br />promote only a few of Ramsey's businesses on the front cover. Commissioner <br />Vevea stated that maybe the front cover should promote City Hall, school, City <br />map, etc. Commissioner Cox replied that this brochure is intended to promote <br />the revenue generating side of Ramsey, not the revenue taking side. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fults stated that he has no problem with even naming the existing <br />businesses in Ramsey and seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Greenberg, Commissioners Muller, <br />Miller, Fults, Vevea, Cox, Hardin and Wagner. Voting No: None. Absent: <br />Commissioner Schmidt. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cox inquired as to how the rest of the Commission felt about <br />noting in the brochure that Ramsey is adjacent to a major trade area offering <br />such services as: county courthouse, post office, major banking firms, legal <br />profession, major firms like Federal Cartridge and Cornelius. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Cox and seconded by Commissioner Fults that a page be <br />included in the brochure regarding the trade area surrounding Ramsey. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Commissioner Vevea stated that this trade area page <br />should also note that Ramsey is a very short distance from the County Seat. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Greenberg, Commissioners Muller, <br />Miller, Fults, Vevea, Cox, Hardin and Wagner. Voting No: None.
