At that <br />meeting it was not decided if the State of the City should continue in-person or take the form of a <br />pre-recorded event. Currently, State of the City is scheduled for October 7th at 7:30 am at the <br />Marsden Room located at the Ramsey County Public Works building. Council should decide <br />tonight if it is going to continue in-person or change the delivery method. If instead Council <br />decides to do a pre-recorded version, similar to last year, we are not held to the same timeline. If <br />Council wants to continue with the October 7th event, we will need to formalize topics, speaking <br />roles, and prepare a draft slide presentation for Council to review. Attachment A is the memo <br />from the previous work session, and outlines potential topics. Those topics are summarized <br />briefly below: <br /> <br />-City Points of Interest <br /> -City’s 70th Anniversary <br /> -Successful Community Events – Hot Dog with a Deputy, Penny Carnival, etc. <br /> -AH Foundation <br /> <br />Finance <br /> -Financial Health of City <br /> <br />-Community Development <br /> -Planning 101 <br /> -Ongoing Development Projects <br /> -Affordable Housing Overview <br />-How Code Enforcement Complaints Are Handled
