business community for the event. This lack of support is clearly identified by the <br />lack of repeat participants and the difficulty experienced by the Commission in <br />recruiting businesses. This is a similar reason for the Anoka Area Chamber of <br />Commerce deciding to end their sponsoring of an EXPO for the City of Anoka. <br />This smaller public version will allow for the event to be conducted in conjunction <br />with the Ramsey Lions Community Picnic. <br /> <br /> The Commission is also recommending that the City no longer sponsor a booth at <br /> the annual Game Fair event. In the last three years that the City has been <br /> participating in this event, the City and booth have recieved little positive feedback. <br /> The participation has generally been looked at as "the City providing balloons for <br /> kids". The use of these marketing dollars could be better directed at the business <br /> breakfast program and visitation program. <br /> <br />These changes and new projects vfill better allow for the EDC to continue to be a viable <br />member of the City of Ramsey organization and should allow for greater ease in attracting <br />and retaining Commissionmembers. The EDC also believes that the City needs to address <br />these projects as opportunities change along Highway #10, with the increased pressures of <br />ongoing development. <br /> <br />The EDC welcomes the opportunity to discuss these suggestions and review any additional <br />projects that you would like the Commission to undertake in the future. Should you <br />require any additional information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact <br />any of the Commissionmembers or attend our March meeting. <br /> <br />K~e~Wi~;6er~~ersOil <br />Home 441-1971 - Work 780-1797 <br /> <br />David Kent <br />Home 753-5131 - Work 389-4903 <br /> <br />F.~CSmmis~n~i~7j~ Carolyn Nelson <br /> Home 441-0457 - Work 930-4202 <br /> <br /> <br />
