~.ity of <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />MEMORANDLIM <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br />Economic Development Authority <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority <br />Planning Commission <br />Department Heads <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Admin~~or <br /> <br />February 2, 2000 ~ <br />Invitation to WCCO Morning Show and Governor's Visit <br /> <br />Mayor Stephanie Klinzing has requested that I invite everyone to the <br />Wednesday, February 9, 2000, Governor's visit and WCCO Radio morning <br />show that will take place at the senior high. Attached for your reference is the <br />February 2, Star News article on these events. If you can attend, please plan to <br />come early (about 7 a.m.) and, if need be, to park in the Lions Park parking lot. <br /> <br />At this time it appears that we will have about an hour and one half with the <br />Governor. He is expected to arrive about 7:30 a.m., a pep rally will begin at <br />8:30 a.m., and he will be on the road to Big Lake by 9:00 a.m. Numerous <br />community leaders are being invited to the Governor's reception and, <br />according to Stephanie, it is expected that the main themes of conversation <br />will be "community" and "citizen involvement." Examples that immediately <br />come to mind regarding "what makes Elk River a community" include the Boys <br />and Girls Club success story, the CAER organization, and the response to the <br />Mark Ahner health/family situation. Other general community issues that are <br />relevant to discuss include the Northstar Corridor project, the Energy City <br />program, and the concern over the possible closing of the Anoka-Hennepin <br />Technical College. <br /> <br />The 5-9 a.m. WCCO morning show is sure to offer a number of surprises. No <br />one can possibly predict who will be picked out of the crowd to be interviewed, <br />so all councilmembers and department heads should be ready to go on the <br />radio for a few minutes and talk about what they do in the community and <br />"how great it is living in Elk River." <br /> <br />Both events taking place at the same time in Elk River is by design and offers <br />a rare opportunity that we should not miss to discuss our issues and promote <br />our community. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway * P.O.
