The Bulletin advertisements will occur <br /> in mid- and late-August. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the City Council would consider <br /> presentation topics for the 2013 State of the City at the July 15, 2013, City Council work session <br /> meeting. Commissioners responded that topics of interest to the business community included <br /> the TCAAP project, B-2 corridor improvements, current development projects, and <br /> transportation projects. Commissioners felt that businesses would be less interested in City <br /> management/budget or in parks/trails topics. Commissioners suggested that someone from <br /> MnDOT attend to respond to questions regarding transportation projects. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher noted that the event was originally planned to <br /> begin at 7:00 am. Hutmacher researched the 2011 event, however, and found that it began at <br /> 7:30 am. Commissioners agreed that 7:30 am was an appropriate starting time that would be <br /> convenient for most business people. <br /> C. 2013 Work Plan Update <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher presented a progress update on the 2013 EDC <br /> Work Plan. She noted that significant progress has been made on the work plan despite the <br /> recent staffing shortages. The only significant item remaining to be completed is the City video <br /> tour. Hutmacher expected work on the video tour to begin in Fall or early Winter 2013. <br /> Commissioners asked how they would be asked to participate in the video tour. <br /> I <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher responded that Commissioners would be <br /> asked to identify locations that should be highlighted for economic development, draft the <br /> outline, and edit the script. Hutmacher added that the video tour would be posted on the website <br /> and would be a tool for people considering buying a home or locating a business in Arden Hills. <br />
