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