guaranteed a pot in front of your business, there is a $25 adopt a pot yearly fee that <br />includes a contract to regularly water your plants. <br />The flowers that are in Rivers Edge Commons Park are perennials and Stephanie said that <br />they won't be planting additional flowers. The pots that were originally in the design for <br />the new intersection at Jackson and Main have been taken out because of the challenge <br />for the city of keeping them watered. If the City would buy additional matching pots for <br />that area - we could adopt them out to keep them watered and spruce up the intersection. <br />We discussed having speakers on the upper level of the park so that the music could spill <br />into the streets so that people passing by can hear. There was some concern that if they <br />were too loud or on too late they could bother residents in Jackson Square. <br />Advertising together/Downtown Promotions: We need to find a way to get the <br />Downtown businesses to share special events and sales they are having so that we can <br />work together to increase foot traffic throughout downtown. Wendy said that she has <br />started a calendar of park concerts on Kemper Drugs Downtown Website and she would <br />be happy to add business events on that calendar. <br />Attracting New businesses downtown: Minwest Bank now owns the Bluffs. They could <br />not find a Bulk Buyer and have contracted with local Realty Consultant Stephanie <br />Danielson to revitalize and sell the Bluffs Units. Chad Peterson, Molly Nadeau and <br />Donna Busch will be partnering with her. That will be working on a website to give some <br />energy to the Bluffs and Downtown Elk River. Some of the units will be redone. A <br />Community room with pool table will be added as well as an overnight guest room. There <br />may be a public auction of some of the items that they will not be reusing from the units <br />they are renovating. <br />Meeting was adjourned at 9AM <br />
