CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> • <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Economic Development Task Force <br /> FROM: Brian Fritsinger <br /> DATE: September 1, 1993 <br /> SUBJECT: Structure of Economic Development Committee <br /> The City Council has been discussing the formation of an Economic Development <br /> Committee. This committee would be an advisory board rather than a more <br /> formal political body such as an Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) or <br /> Economic Development Authority (EDA) . <br /> The make up of a typical committee varies from community to community. As an <br /> advisory lord, the preliminary discussions of 5 to 7 members would best serve <br /> the current goals. This size would also, at a future date, make any <br /> transition to an EDA or HRA much simpler. <br /> The City Council previously discussed potential members of the committee. <br /> Any citizen or business person from the community could serve on this <br /> committee. Ms. Aplikowski has brought most of you together because of your <br /> previous involvement in different areas of Arden Hills or your experience with <br /> local businesses. Hopefully, some of you will consider remaining and serve on <br /> this committee. A potential make up of the Economic Development Committee <br /> discussed by Ms. Aplikowski and myself include: <br /> Banker, Realtor, Business Persons from both large and small <br /> companies, Chamber of Commerce, Lawyer, Accountant and/or Community <br /> representative. It should also be staffed by a Councilmember and City <br /> Staff. <br /> Regardless of the make up of the committee, the key is to gather individuals <br /> who have a genuine concern about the future of Arden Hills. Before our next <br /> meeting, we would appreciate it if you would consider serving on this <br /> committee. If you are unable to do so, please be prepared to offer suggestions <br /> on one or two others who could serve and represent the City. <br /> • <br />
