• I realize it may be somewhat difficult for the marketing committee to come together for the first time and be expected to interview and make a recommendation of a consultant to the EDA. It is thereby important to note that staff has prequalified both consultants and is competent in their competence, knowledge, and ability to provide a high level of service to the city/EDA/marketing committee. It will primarily be necessary for the marketing committee to determine its level of comfort with a particular consultant and secondarily to assess their skill level with regard to leading the marketing committee and producing a quality project. The proposals from both consultants vary greatly in their cost of service; however, either are fundable through the EDA budget for the year 2000. Part of the interview . process will be for the marketing committee to judge which of the consultants has a price which most accurately reflects their proposed level of service, and whether this consultant will be a good fit to work with the marketing committee on this project. Future Meetings Staff anticipates the following meeting schedule: • Monday, December 13, 1999 4-6 p.m. - interview two consultants and make recommendation • - take recommendation to the EDA that same night • Monday, January 10, 2000 4-6 p.m. - begin work with marketing consultant • Monday, February 14, 2000 4-6 p.m. • Monday, March 13, 2000 4-6 p.m. • Monday, April 10, 2000 4-6 p.m. • Monday, May 8, 2000 4-6 p.m. Summary In conclusion, the EDA will be depending quite heavily upon the marketing committee for updates and recommendations as we proceed through to completion of the marketing strategy. I plan to contact each of you by phone prior to the first scheduled meeting of the marketing committee to answer any questions or address issues you may have about the overall process. •
