The Committee supported the concept and indicated that it 's a timely decision. The key question raised was "what the purpose of the committee would be" . Bev Aplikowski responded by pointing out that it was this task force that would answer the question but the City Council approved the concept with the following idea in mind: 1. Assist current businesses to continue satisfactory operations, and to bring in new businesses that would benefit the citizens of Arden Hills. 2 . Assist City staff with contacts, referrals, and activities regarding development and redevelopment. 3 . Assist in further developing an Arden Hills Economic Development Plan and to consider possible strategies for development. Factors in considering strategies might include: unique market characteristics, quality of life, land availability, labor sources, capital, housing sources, changes in community profiles, etc. . . 4 . Assist in review of development and redevelopment issues/areas. 5 . Provide a public source of input to types of development necessary for the continued growth/quality of life. • 6.

This committee would be an advisory board rather than a more formal political body such as an Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) or Economic Development Authority (EDA) . The make up of a typical committee varies from community to community. As an advisory lord, the preliminary discussions of 5 to 7 members would best serve the current goals. This size would also, at a future date, make any transition to an EDA or HRA much simpler. The City Council previously discussed potential members of the committee. Any citizen or business person from the community could serve on this committee. Ms. Aplikowski has brought most of you together because of your previous involvement in different areas of Arden Hills or your experience with local businesses. Hopefully, some of you will consider remaining and serve on this committee. A potential make up of the Economic Development Committee discussed by Ms. Aplikowski and myself include: Banker, Realtor, Business Persons from both large and small companies, Chamber of Commerce, Lawyer, Accountant and/or Community representative. It should also be staffed by a Councilmember and City Staff. Regardless of the make up of the committee, the key is to gather individuals who have a genuine concern about the future of Arden Hills. Before our next meeting, we would appreciate it if you would consider serving on this committee. If you are unable to do so, please be prepared to offer suggestions on one or two others who could serve and represent the City. • .aN•11 ,. _, .•a._]L.,i - ra-..Frrrr._ 0.0 Mr.r.r i. • 1, 1 ' .1 .. •1 .s .l y 11 _:: i/ , R-1 , i i O R I E PLANT list II . • • a • i(II I ti,..114).e.‘... 8-2 ::I • ,, ,, 141 ,, , . 17T.
