The weather was <br />cold but the parking lot was full! There are a lot of people to thank for their financial <br />and physical assistance with the open house. Bill Houlton for letting us use his main <br />street building for Santa at the last minute. MetroPlains and The Bank of Elk River for <br />sponsoring Santa and the animals. Heidi and the HRA for sponsoring a newspaper ad, First <br />National Financial Services for sponsoring the newspaper insert. Phil Hals for making cute <br />reindeer parking signs and bringing barricades into the parking lot. Garrett for cleaning <br />out behind Diamond City for Santa if it was nice out. And especially all the businesses <br />who did special things for their customers to make it a fun day to be downtown! <br />e thought that we had a reprieve from having the crane for Jackson Square on Jackson Ave <br />caking up parking spaces. It sounds like this request will again be talked about at the <br />December 18th City Council Meeting for a Mid January to Mid February reconfiguration of <br />parking and driving lanes on Jackson Ave. <br />I talked to Gerald Kritzeck, the Sherburne County Assessor, about how businesses could go <br />about requesting Tax relief and if we could realistically expect any. He said that <br />typically they would look at decreasing rents as an indicator of financial downturn of the <br />area before lowering taxes. Since this framework isn't necessarily applicable for our <br />downtown, he said he would discuss possibilities with his office and get back to me. If <br />this is something you are interested in hearing more about if they come up with a way to <br />get us tax relief, please let me know and I will forward any information he gives me to <br />you. <br />THERE WILL NOT BE A RIVERS EDGE MEETING IN DECEMBER The next meeting will be held as usual <br />on the 2nd Wednesday in January at 8AM in the Chamber of Commerce Meeting Room <br />Best Wishes for a Happy Holiday! <br />Wendy <br />763-441-1353 <br />1 <br />
