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