Ms. Piotrowski explained that she and Planning Commission member Ray McGraw had been in discussions over the past three months regarding a process of contacting businesses to entice them to relocate to Arden Hills along the Lexington Avenue sites. To get started with this process, they wanted to request that the Mayor appoint them to this task, along with the City providing to them the needed funds to print letters of introduction, calling cards and an expense account to take prospects out for lunch. They also requested approval to be able to work with John Bergly, as they felt he had the time and knowledge of the Arden Hills community.
