EDC Minutes <br />May 2, 2018 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />City Planner Bachler requested that the EDC provide any other feedback on how to improve the <br />success of the State of the City. <br />The EDC suggested ways to improve the Q&A section at the morning event. One suggestion was <br />to have question forms that could be filled out during the presentation and reviewed by staff. <br />Responses could be provided for general questions relevant to local businesses, and staff could be <br />directed to follow-up on more specific questions or concerns. <br />B. Business Retention and Expansion Program <br />City Planner Bachler reviewed the priority visit list for the BRE program. He asked the EDC <br />about the progress on setting up business visits. <br />Commissioner Williams noted that he had a phone conversation with the owner of Northwestern <br />Foods. He added that he would be sending Northwestern Foods an email with follow-up questions. <br />C. New Business Visits <br />City Planner Bachler noted that staff had finished the new business brochure. He requested <br />volunteers to visit two new businesses that recently opened. <br />Commissioners Williams and O'Meara volunteered to visit the new businesses and provide <br />them with a copy of the brochure. <br />5.
