cost of the team and no revenue to cover the costs. This is less of a problem at Rum River Hills, <br />when a strong profit margin has been built into the event. With the event reverting to The Links <br />at Northfork next year, this will be a greater problem resulting in the event losing money. In <br />addition to the concern about teams that fail to participate, the EDC may need to do a stronger <br />job of requesting and acquiring door prizes. This year, we had the advantage of additional finds <br />to supplement the prizes that were donated. Next year, with the event at The Links, there is less <br />of a cushion in providing for the event to break even. In the future, these two issues will need to <br />be identified and solved to allow for the events long-term viability. <br /> <br />As many of you are aware, the City did not induct Harold Stoltz into the Ramsey Business Hall <br />of Fame as Mrs. Stoltz was unable to attend the event. We will take care of this induction at a <br />subsequent City Council meeting. The Economic Development Commission will be notified of <br />the date. <br /> <br />Case 3: <br /> <br />Ramsey Business Newsletter <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg rated the proposed articles and layout for the second edition, for 1997, of the <br />Ramsey Business Newsletter. The newsletter contains the ground breakings for the new <br />businesses and the available classes that may be of interest to the local businesses. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Riley and seconded by Commissioner Nelson to remove the <br />information about future topics and contacts for the Economic Development Commission and <br />replace that with an article about City Administrator Schroeder leaving the City. The publication <br />should then be mailed. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Wagner, Conunissioners Kent, Scheiber, Riley, and <br />Nelson. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Anderson. <br /> <br />Case 4: <br /> <br />Review Verbiage about Highway #10 Development Plan <br /> <br />The EDC has been reviewing the Highway #10 Corridor to allow for a programmed <br />redevelopment of the area. Mr. Gromberg suggested the EDC should review what has been <br />determined and recommended for the different areas west of Ramsey Boulevard. It would then <br />be the intent to forward this information to the consultants and City Council. <br /> <br />The EDC discussed what they believe the next step in the process should be if the redevelopment <br />plan ended at this point. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Nelson and seconded by Commissioner Riley to direct Chairperson <br />Wagner to draft a memo to the City Council requesting direction in the Commission's work on <br />the redevelopment plan for the Highway #10 Corridor and what role the EDC should play in the <br />development of the new Comprehensive Plan for the City of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Wagner, Commissioners Kent, Scheiber, Riley, and <br />Nelson. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Anderson. <br /> <br />Economic Development Commission/September 4, 1997 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
