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 />
