Case #3: Business Appreciation Day. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg informed the EDC that the letters had been sent requesting bids for the 1997 <br />Business Appreciation Day. The City has received bids from both The Links and Rum River <br />Hills. The bid from The Links is $60 per golfer with a hamburger barbecue. The bid from Rum <br />River Hills would be $50.19 per golfer with a choice of different meals. Mr. Gromberg <br />distributed a list of the suggested dinner entrees. He suggested that this year's event be held at <br />the Rum River Hills golf course at a price of $65 per golfer. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kent suggested, .the Commission agreed, that a steak option be included with the <br />proposed meal choices as these have always been well received by the participants in the event. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg offered to check with McDuff's as to the final cost per participant. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg continued that the extra $15 per golfer would be used to purchase golf shirts for <br />this year's participants. As with last year, the teams will each receive a shirt imprinted with <br />"Ramsey Business Appreciation Day" and the name of the team sponsor. <br /> <br />Chairperson Wagner asked if this would result in a greater need for the Commission to solicit <br />door prizes. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg replied that it should not require any additional solicitation as we have done fairly <br />well in the past years, plus this bid also includes $3 per golfer in the pro shop. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson asked what color the shirts would be and if we had to choose between the <br />white or maroon. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg said that there is a wide variety of colors to choose from and that he would obtain <br />a color selection list for review. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kent said that he likes the white shirt, but that he would be open to reviewing the <br />other colors available. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg also stated that both courses had 'suggested an August 20, 1997 date, with a 12:00 <br />noon shotgun start. This is a Wednesday, and would coincide with the last few years' event <br />timing. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Wagner and seconded by Commissioner Montague to schedule the 1997 <br />Ramsey Business Appreciation Day for Wednesday, August 20, 1997, at the Rum River Hills <br />Golf Course at a cost of $65 per golfer. Dinner will follow at McDuff's, with a choice of sirloin <br />steak or rotisserie chicken dinner. In addition, the shirts should be purchased as a promotional <br />item for the event. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Wagner, Commissioners Kent, Montague, Nelson, <br />and Scheiber. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br />Economic Development Commission/March 6, 1997 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
