State of the City <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that, at the last EDC meeting, <br /> Commissioners had directed staff to research potential locations for the 2013 State of the City <br /> event. Staff researched several options including Flaherty's Arden Bowl, Bethel University, <br /> Northwestern College, North Heights Lutheran Church, the Marsden Room at the Ramsey <br /> County Public Works Facility, the U.S. Army Reserve, and the Minnesota National Guard. The <br /> U.S. Army Reserve and the Minnesota National Guard declined the request for security reasons. <br /> Staff eliminated the Marsden Room due to the lack of catering and the availability of several <br /> reasonably-priced options that offer catering. Staff recommended against Northwestern College <br /> - due toits location at the far southeastern_edge_of the_City. <br />
