Economic Development Manager Sullivan stated that there are some additional sites within The <br />COR that could fit the project but would also need to fit the needs of the developer. He asked if <br />there is a criteria staff should use for determining a better location. <br />It was the consensus of the Board that the area surrounding Coborns should be reserved for <br />retail. <br />Chairperson Steffen noted that there is a park with a lake that may be a good neighboring fit. <br />Mr. Larson stated that a park is not a big push because the residents are not leaving the site for <br />the most part. He stated that traffic and adjacent activity is a big push for them. <br />Chairperson Steffen confirmed the consensus of the EDA that this is not the right site but to <br />direct staff to work with the developer to determine if another site would work. <br />4.03: Consider Marketing Materials Update Proposal <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan presented the staff report. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if these would be mostly digital documents that would live online or <br />whether the materials would also be printed and used. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan noted that material would be used online and also be <br />printed depending on the audience. He believed that it is important to illustrate the story of the <br />City in a professional manner in order to attract commercial/retail development and noted that <br />the City's material is dated. <br />Member Hardin asked if the documents could be updated by staff when properties are sold. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan confirmed that the documents would be editable by <br />staff. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if the only difference between options A and B would be the <br />interactive element. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan confirmed that is the only difference. He stated that <br />he likes the flexibility and puts the City's best foot forward professionally. <br />Member Hardin asked if staff would be able to make the edits. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained that the templates are setup by the <br />designer and staff is then able to update the templates with the information. <br />Chairperson Steffen stated that clearly the materials are out of date and therefore he would <br />support this update. <br />Economic Development Authority/ December 6, 2018 <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />
