ARDEN HILLS EDA MEETING – APRIL 27, 2015 3 of the larger landlords/property management companies such as Transwestern, Wellington, Roberts Management, and Inland Shannon Square. Transwestern is the manager/broker for significant space in the Red Fox/Grey Fox business district and of the North Park office complex on County Road E. Wellington, Roberts, and Inland manage/lease most of the City’s retail space. Executive Director Hutmacher indicated that the EDC members have volunteered to participate in the BRE interviews. They have also recruited former or current members of the Planning Commission and Financial Planning and Analysis Committee. The EDC felt that these groups were experienced with business issues and would be excellent representatives of the City. In addition to the membership of the EDC, Roberta Thompson (Planning Commission, Chair), Clayton Zimmerman (Planning Commission), Jim Huninghake (EDC, former), and Jim Ostlund (FPAC, former) have volunteered as BRE interviewers. Thus far, a total of 11 interviewers have been identified; however, she noted that a few additional interviewers would be helpful. EDA President Grant stated that he believed that Ted Brausen would be a good individual for the City to contact. He also thought that Walgreens would be another interesting contact as it is a new business in the City of Arden Hills. He asked if staff would be able to get answers to each of the questions in a short interview. Jonathan Weinhagen, St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, commented that he would be pre- populating all of the public information within the interview to allow time for the core set of questions during the interviews. EDA President Grant suggested that interesting, or repeated, comments regarding the City be shared with the Council. Mr. Weinhagen explained that repeated comments would be “red flagged” and shared with the City. This would allow for the survey to be adapted or to have questions added. Commissioner Holmes suggested that information regarding salary ranges be gathered. She thought this would be valuable in order to project salary ranges for TCAAP. Mr. Weinhagen reported that this was a data set that companies were not interested in sharing. It was his opinion that job growth information would be more beneficial than the actual salaries. Commissioner Holmes disagreed and thought that the question should be asked. EDA President Grant indicated that the City could visit glassdoor.com in order to review salary information for larger companies. Executive Director Hutmacher recommended that the significant, legacy firms in Arden Hills be interviewed.
