<br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan presented the staff report. He asked whether the EDA
<br />would be interested in offering a box lunch. This suggestion was made by one participant the past
<br />two years.
<br />Member Stewart noted that was one suggestion out of the 100 plus attendees and therefore she
<br />would not support adding that element.
<br />Member MacLennan stated that he does like the lunch and perhaps there would be an opportunity
<br />for a sponsorship for that element. He commented that it is not always ASy to go to the clubhouse
<br />to get something to eat when you are on the course.II"'

<br />Economic Developmo'"'I�t Manager Sullivan stated that the registration form offers the opportunity
<br />for hole sponsorship or prize donations. He stated that staff does not solicit donations therefore
<br />asking for a sponsor would be a fundamental change as the event is meant to recognize and
<br />appreciate businesses. He also did not want to see businesses react negatively if one business was
<br />allowed to sponsor the lunch but perhaps another could not. He agreed that only one person
<br />requested this option. He agreed that staff could work with Northfork and perhaps patrons could
<br />purchase something in advance of their round. He noted that utilization of the clubhouse also
<br />financially benefits (The Links of) Northfork, a Ramsey business.
