<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Case #3: <br /> <br />Star City Update. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ippel reviewed the progress of the Star City Program. He then showed one <br />example of how a marketing fact book could be presented. The subcommittees will discuss it. <br /> <br />Marketing team and support member requirements were discussed. Commissioner Fults noted that <br />on occasion, it would be difficult for a member of the marketing team or support member to <br />encourage someone of the same occupation to move here because of concerns with competition. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Ippel and duly seconded by Commissioner Greenberg to use the regular <br />March 1990 meeting of the Economic Development Commission to complete the Star City Program <br />Review and make the final request of the Department of Trade and Economic Development. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

Absent: Commissioner Hardin. <br /> <br />Case #4: <br /> <br />Goal Setting for 1990. <br /> <br />Chairman Wagner asked for the suggestions from the Commission for subjects on which to focus <br />in 1990. The Commission discussed some possible goals for 1990 which included: McKinley <br />Street extension, Mississippi River bridge crossing and other road alignments, communication <br />with City Staff and Council as well as communication with local business, zoning, an industrial <br />park, ordinances, data base of available properties and completion of the Star City Program. <br />Chairman Wagner also stated that the Economic Development Commission should be offering <br />solutions rather than strictly focusing on problems. Discussion ensued. As a result of the <br />discussion, it was concluded by the Commission that overall communication is the first priority <br />and will facilitate all other goals. The second priority is to complete the Star City Program Review <br />and make the final request of the Department of Trade and Economic Development by March 15, <br />1990. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Ippel and duly seconded by Commissioner Fults to recommend to City <br />Council that the Chairs of all commissions, a Council representative and a staff liaison to meet on a <br />regular basis. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
