New Business: <br />Group Advertising Downtown: Marlys Ellingson from the Elk River Star News brought <br />in some sample ads that could be modified and used for a downtown ad. A '/4 page ad <br />would be $414.50 less 15% and an 1/8 page would be $221.25 less 15% if we chose to <br />add 1 color it would be an additional $120.00. The goal is to get every Downtown Rivers <br />Edge Business included in the ad. We still have to discuss what the boundries should be. <br />We would like to see the ad go on the police report page or the community page. Wendy <br />will work with Marlys to get this rolling. The first ad would come out of Rivers Edge <br />funds and we will see how it goes from there. <br />Sign pointing toward downtown off of highway 10. Wendy talked to MnDot about <br />getting a green sign listing what is available downtown East of Downtown on Highway <br />10. MnDot said that because we aren't "rural highway" our location can't get a sign like <br />that. We would have to find an acceptable locationalong Highway 10 for our own sign. <br />There is currently a sign, that Rivers Edge Business Group paid for, on the Chamber of <br />Commerce corner which says "Historic Downtovc~n Elk River." There is not an arrow <br />pointing left however. We will pursue our options in modifying that sign. <br />Wendy also checked on prices for billboards east of downtown on Highway 10. A <br />lOftX40ft billboard would run $1100/month plus the cost to produce the sign ($800.00). <br />They prefer a contract for 1 year rental but sometimes have seasonal openings. There <br />were no signs available at this time. - <br />The meeting adjourned at 9AM <br />
