Motion by Member Wiyninger, seconded by Member Howell, to recommend to City Council to <br /> Contract Services to update traffic counts for the COR and surrounding area. <br /> Further discussion: Member Johnson stated that the traffic patterns have changed because of the <br /> highway construction and asked if there is a way to isolate the Bunker segment to identify that <br /> increase. She commented that the results would most likely be skewed as Bunker is a main access <br /> during construction. Economic Development Manager Sullivan confirmed that there would be <br /> detailed information at each intersection. He noted that this would provide the City with good data <br /> on how people are getting to where they are going. <br /> A roll call vote was performed: <br /> Member Stewart aye <br /> Member Johnson aye <br /> Chairperson Olson aye <br /> Member Wiyninger aye <br /> Member Riley aye <br /> Member Howell aye <br /> Motion carried. <br /> 4.03: Receive 2022 Business Expo Summary and Select 2023 Venue and Date <br /> Economic Development Manager Sullivan presented the staff report. <br /> Member Johnson asked if there are any holidays around the two dates proposed. <br /> Economic Development Manager Sullivan replied that there are not any holidays around those <br /> dates and staff is not yet aware of any overlapping events. <br /> Member Howell commended staff for their hard work in running a successful event. <br /> Member Stewart noted the low marketing score and asked if there is a plan to improve that. <br /> Economic Development Manager Sullivan replied that the marketing score was 4.7 out of 5,which <br /> is very high. <br /> Member Stewart stated that she would link that result to traffic flow. <br /> Economic Development Manager Sullivan stated that they reduced the scale by a few booths to <br /> improve the flow of traffic within the building. He stated that they added Facebook for marketing <br /> and believe that helped as the attendance was up this year. <br /> Chairperson Olson asked if the comments are tracked year to year to determine if there have been <br /> improvements. <br /> Economic Development Authority/June 9, 2022 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br />
