<br />and cross-referencing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that Star City is just another government program <br />to spend tax money derived from businesses to supposedly promote those <br />businesses; the information gathered in the star city tasks is of value but <br />not sure Star City designation is. The City recently spent $25,000 on a <br />study of the Hwy. 110 corridor; the study stressed how important Ramsey is <br />going to be industrially and commercially as a result of the airport; a <br />lettes received from the President of the Economic Development <br />Company/member of tbe Economic Development Commission opposing airport <br />improvements conflicts witb the study and the city's intent for economic <br />development; appears tbat the EDC sbould get it's priorities in order. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca <br />authorizing the hiring of Yvonne Curran for a six montb period as an <br />economic development intern to complete Star City tasks. <br /> <br />Furtber Discussion: Councilmember Cox reiterated the value of information <br />gathered in doing the star city tasks but that tbe designation itself is <br />not necessary and many communities may find it an embarrassement in the <br />future. Mr. Gorecki stated tbat once all the Star City criteria is met, <br />tbe city can decide wbether the designation is necessary or just to proceed <br />witb tbe concept. Councilmember Cox agreed tbat tbis motion sbould <br />indicate proceeding with the Star City concept but a decision pursuing the <br />designation will be made in tbe future. Councilmember DeLuca agreed that <br />tbe groundwork to obtain Star City status is tbe real benefit of tbe <br />program but to not go tbe last step and obtain tbe designation, which does <br />not cost any more, does not make sense. Councilmember Cox stated that tbe <br />entire Star City program might be an embarrassement by tbe time Ramsey <br />completes it's tasks.
