Staff provided an update as to the monthly activities
of staff in the area of economic development . This
included TCAAP, Round Lake and the other miscellaneous
contracts .
5 . Marketing Packet
Discussion started with comments about the city
newsletter. The Committee was unanimous in that the
current newsletter is not the communication tool
preferred by this Committee . Mr. Steele commented that
the Town Crier was to the point and informative rather
than glitzy like the current newsletter. The Town
Crier was able to answer the questions of local
citizens in a casual approach.
This conversation was based on staff ' s comments which
tried to show the relationship between the newsletter,
city handbook and marketing packet . The Committee
commented that the handbook could be effective to deal
with residential questions and the marketing packet for
businesses .
