Dale Beane noted that there were a number of businesses missing on the City's license list and <br /> suggested that we buy a list from a third party. <br /> Davidson suggested that we narrow our focus from what was outlined in the memo. Mayor <br /> Aplikowski suggested working block by block as opposed to starting with the largest revenue <br /> generating business and working down. <br /> Chair Kunkel added that we need to be candid when calling businesses to request information--- <br /> letting them know who we are and why we're asking. <br /> Mayor Aplikowski suggested sending a letter to the businesses to let them know the EDC is <br /> starting their business outreach and that they may be contacted. Mayor Aplikowski also <br /> recommended that the EDC have business cards. <br /> Ed Werner made a motion to get the EDC business cards. Rob Davidson seconded. All in favor; <br /> motion carried. <br /> Chair Kunkel stressed that it will be very important to ensure this program continues over the <br /> years. And stated that the list should be viewed as a tool; a starting point. <br /> Chair Kunkel said we need to focus on our next steps: a method of improving the business <br /> registry. Dale Beane stated that a purchased list would cost us about $200. Rob Davidson <br /> moved to authorize the purchase of a list and then rank the businesses. Jim Paulet seconded. All <br /> in favor; motion carried. <br /> Beane will take the lead in contacting a source for the list and follow-up with Barton, and would <br /> bring the results to the next meeting. <br /> Nancy Kneeland moved that all members think about and formulate suggestions about how to <br /> divide the list. Jim Paulet seconded. Motion carried. <br /> Werner made motion to adjourn; Beane seconded. All in favor; motion carried. <br /> Next meeting date February 15, 2006. <br /> • <br />
