Steering Committee Minutes Page 4 April 27, 1994 • 4IPIPATaft9;c 6. Future Meetings Chairman Minton indicated that the next meeting will be a public hearing to discuss the issues relative to industrial development in the community. It was the consensus of the committee to meet on May 25, 1994, at 7 p.m. at a location that will be determined at a later date. Chairman Minton indicated that letters to all industrial businesses will be sent out as well as notification in the local paper. The committee discussed some issues that will be brought up at this meeting including goals and policies, industrial development, tax base of industrial (percent of land use within the City that is currently industrial), absorption rate for industrial development, and an update on the Economic Development Authority and Business Park Task Force efforts and involvement in industrial development to this point. 7. Other Business Hank Duitsman indicated that there may be the need to distribute additional information, such as the feasibility report for the treatment facility expansion once it is completed by Terry Maurer. In addition, Mr. Duitsman indicated the City is taking over the County Ditch System and additional planning will need to be conducted to incorporate this system into our storm drainage plans. Therefore, it may be beneficial to provide the committee members with a storm drainage plan also. • Terry Maurer suggested a copy of the Transportation Plan be provided to all committee members, which will be an important element for discussion throughout this process. The Committee agreed that the upcoming public hearing meetings are a good opportunity to obtain information from the public, however, a time needs to be established to end the meetings. Mr. Hinkle suggested it would be a good idea to make it clear at the beginning of each meeting that the public hearing meetings will end at 10 p.m. The Committee agreed and established a 10 p.m. deadline for all public hearing meetings. Chairman Minton asked Pat Dwyer for his assistance in outlining information that may be presented at the next meeting regarding industrial development. It was indicated that the Economic Development Coordinator Bill Rubin should attend the next meeting to participate in the discussion of industrial development within the community. 8. Adjournment There being no further business, the meeting of the Elk River Steering Committee adjourned at approximately 8 p.m. Respectfully submitted, en B. Ach, i y Planner
