I, ~~ Ms. Scheller contacted the Wargo Nature Center and was told someone would get back to her and they did not. She was she will be calling them regarding winter activities. Star City Goals The committee discussed several different possibilities (example: snow sculptures and light contest). Mr. Montain suggested that this would be more in the line of the Fete de Lacs Committee or the Park and Recreation Committee than business related. The committee decided that they were not going to do any winter activities for this year. They would start planning for next year. Ms. Scheller stated that Ms. Capra suggested that EDC have a winter Business Appreciation night with hot chocolate and treats, because there are businesses that we missed in the spring. Mr. Montain stated that the EDC goal was to maintain our current businesses and reach out to the new businesses in town. Welcome Neighbor Packets Ms. Scheller asked if anyone brought a welcome packet over to Embers. It was mentioned that Ms. Capra picked up mugs, but it was unknown whether they were delivered to the new businesses. Mr. Rehbine suggested that they touch base with Ms. Capra. City Merchandise Mr. Rehbine was interested in the amount of inventory that was left and if they needed to order any more. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Rehbine suggested that the EDC invite new or current business owners once a month to an EDC meeting to discuss their needs, or offer their suggestions. It was agreed that they would allow approximately 15 minutes for the business owner to speak at the beginning of the meeting. It was also agreed that each committee member would rotate inviting new or current businesses. Ms. Dorn offered to set up a business for November. Mr. Rehbine mentioned that this week was Minnesota Manufacturer's Week and that a certificate was being set out to the manufacturers in Centerville. Governor Jesse Ventura signed this Certificate. A short letter was sent with the Certificates and the Proclamation that was signed by the Governor. Lino Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce was mentioned. Ms. Capra had questions but was not able to attend this meeting. Mr. Rehbine stated that he received a call regarding the Lino Lakes Area Chamber and wanted more infonnation on the Chamber. He also stated that EDC and the Chamber are similar groups and that is why the City of Centerville joined.
