Additional <br />members of the Short-Term Alliance may be included upon request of city leaders. We propose the Alliance meets <br />in different locations in the Rice and Larpenteur community (restaurants, businesses, schools, churches, <br />community centers) in order to support local businesses and better understand community needs. SPACC will <br />handle scheduling and facilitating meetings each month. In addition, the Executive Director will provide agendas <br />and financial statements in advance and send a recap to the Alliance following each meeting. <br /> <br />In addition to monthly Alliance meetings, SPACC will set up individual meetings early on with representatives from <br />each city and the county to learn about the individual priorities and expectations of the initiative. Once the Short- <br />Term Alliance is up and running, individual and small group meetings with additional stakeholders will be <br />scheduled to gauge their priorities and interest in supporting the Rice and Larpenteur Vision, long-term. <br /> <br />We propose the primary functions of the Short-Term Alliance be to: <br /> Develop a brand identity for the neighborhood. <br /> Create an engaging new website. <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
