To: jirom: Date: Subject: Honorable lVlayor and Cit'j CouncillVIembers Kim Stephan, EDC Staff Liaison November 22,2002 Economic Development Committee's Request for Funds New Resident Packet The Economic Development Committee has been working with the Parks & Recreation Committee to update the New Resident Packet. Parks & Recreation has contributed a Trail & Sidewalk Map vvhich has been updated by Bonestroo and current digital pictures of local parks and trails. The cost of the update to the map by Bonestroo was just the cost of the draftsman's time, at probably an hour. IvIr. Peterson talked to the Sales Manager, Tim Hewitt at Impressions Incorporated, which printed the previous packet to detennine what electronic format they would require the map to be in and supplied the disk to myself, along with current copies of the map. This map was also put on the new web site under About Centerville/Parks & Recreation. The previous New Resident Packet was delivered in 1vIarch of 2000. There were 500 folders ordered at that time at $5.03 each, totaling $2,515. There was also a prep charge of $1,400 bringing the total to $3,915. There are approximately 75 packets remaining and we have been using 10-20 per month. Impressions, Incorporated has all the original artwork on file. The Sales IvIanager, Tim Hewitt said their charges have not gone up so the price would be approximately the same. EDC would like to place the order and use $2,000 of their remaining $2,786.41 to put a down payment on the packets, with the balance to be paid from the 2003 EDC budget.
