APPROVAL OF AGENDA <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Commission to accept the agenda as presented. <br /> <br /> <br />2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Commission to accept the May 4, 2016 meeting minutes as presented. <br /> <br /> <br />3. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. State of the City <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler stated that this year’s State of the City event will consist of a business- <br />focused event in the morning at Flaherty’s, and he noted there are four proposed dates for the <br />event in September. The resident-focused event will take place in the evening in August or <br />September and will have an open house format with an emphasis on the TCAAP redevelopment <br />project. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler indicated that advertising and promotion would be similar to methods <br />used previously, but noted that the City now has a larger social media presence, and so Facebook <br />and Twitter would be relied on more heavily than in past years. He noted that Chair Erickson <br />suggested the City consider using an online reservation system such as Eventbrite for the business <br />event. This system would provide not only a registration feature but would also generate <br />reminders to those that signed up.
