Nancy Kneeland suggested that we ask the people we select to be interviewed to focus the • <br /> discussion to their area of expertise. <br /> The Mayor recommended including members of the PTRC: Roger Williams, Bill Henry, and <br /> Roberta Thompson. <br /> Chris Ashbach inquired as to why we were limited to 10. Bruce Kunkel responded that was what <br /> the proposal called for. Karen Barton added that we should include two to four"alternatives"in <br /> case DeSCo is unable to connect with all of the 10. <br /> The Mayor thought she should not be included. Chris added that he thought most of the EDC <br /> should not be included as well. Rob Davidson stated that he felt we needed a broad perspective. <br /> Bruce Kunkel added that we need big-picture thinkers. <br /> Rob suggested Bart Rehbein of Rehbein Companies. Mayor thought that Collin Barr of Ryan <br /> Companies would be a better choice. Rob stated that he thought Bart would be more candid. <br /> Chris Ashbach suggested Larry Frattalone, of Frattalone's hardware. <br /> Jim Paulet asked what types of questions DeSCo would be asking in the interviews. Karen <br /> Barton stated that we can ask for a list of the specific questions. The Mayor thought they would <br /> be SWOT related. <br /> Chris Ashbach also recommended his father, Dan Ashbach be included. • <br /> All of the suggestions were placed into respective categories,based on the five categories the <br /> Mayor suggested. Then the group eliminated names until they came up with three in each of the <br /> five categories, as follows: <br /> Large Companies: St. Paul Companies, Guidant, Chesapeake <br /> Small Companies: Ted Brausen, Dale Beane, Larry Frattalone, and Flaherty <br /> Social/Educational: Bruce Kunkel, North Heights Church, Dan Lind (Presbyterian Homes) <br /> Citizens: Bill Henry, Dave Sand, Dan Ashbach <br /> Government: Mayor and Council, Mounds View School District (Julie W the Principal of the <br /> High School), and Tony Bennett the Ramsey County Board Chair. <br /> Nancy Kneeland requested that we find out if DeSCo would be interviewing the City Council <br /> and Mayor separately. <br /> Task number two: List of six communities to make comparison to: <br /> The EDC came up with the following list: <br /> ■ New Brighton <br /> ■ Shoreview <br /> ■ Roseville <br /> • White Bear Lake <br /> ■ Golden Valley <br />
