Laverne Freeh and Tom <br /> Goblirsch called with regrets as to other commitments. <br /> Discussion: <br /> After introductions and lunch, a discussion was held on the merits <br /> of establishing an economic development committee.

Bev Aplikowski responded by pointing out that it was <br /> this task force that would answer the question but the City Council <br /> approved the concept with the following idea in mind: <br /> 1. Assist current businesses to continue satisfactory <br /> operations, and to bring in new businesses that would <br /> benefit the citizens of Arden Hills. <br /> 2 . Assist City staff with contacts, referrals, and <br /> activities regarding development and redevelopment. <br /> 3 . Assist in further developing an Arden Hills Economic <br /> Development Plan and to consider possible strategies for <br /> development. Factors in considering strategies might <br /> include: unique market characteristics, quality of life, <br /> land availability, labor sources, capital, housing <br /> sources, changes in community profiles, etc. . . <br /> 4 . Assist in review of development and redevelopment <br /> issues/areas. <br /> 5 . Provide a public source of input to types of development <br /> necessary for the continued growth/quality of life. <br /> • <br /> 6 . Be an advisory body to the City Council <br /> 4/0 <br />
