<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Economic Development Commission August 5, 2015 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: August 5, 2015 EDC Agenda Item 4.B <br /> <br />TO: Economic Development Commission Chair and Commissioners <br /> <br />FROM: Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner <br /> <br />SUBJECT: City Video Tour Update <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />CTV has completed production work on the City video tour. The video will be shown at the EDC <br />meeting on August 5, 2015. <br /> <br />The current length of the video is approximately four minutes. In drafting the outline for the <br />video, the EDC had recommended that testimonials from two businesses be included. <br />Incorporating testimonials would likely increase the video length to at least five minutes and in <br />the past the EDC has discussed keeping the video relatively short. <br /> <br />Since some footage in the video is time-sensitive, staff would recommend that the City Council <br />review and approve the video in its current form and that it be added to the main page on the <br />City’s website. Testimonials from businesses could be added at a later date and a separate video <br />that includes these testimonials could be posted on the Economic Development page of the <br />City’s website. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion Questions: <br /> <br />1. Is the EDC supportive of the video in its current form? Should any text, footage, or <br />graphics be cut or added? <br /> <br />2. Should staff continue to work with CTV on adding business testimonials to the video <br />even though this would increase its length? <br /> <br />3. Does the EDC support adding the current version of the video to the main page on the <br />City’s website? <br />
