Strategic Planning <br /> • Chair Schuldt led discussion of possible redevelopment sites in the downtown <br /> and effects on the downtown business owners. <br /> Paul reviewed action steps of the draft action plan for the downtown <br /> redevelopment strategic planning issue as follows: <br /> • <br /> A. Overall downtown (CBD) design <br /> B. Redevelopment sites <br /> C. Finance/marketing <br /> D. Other (financing, communication, advertising, support and promotion) <br /> Pat Klaers felt that the riverwalk project, parking and ordinance/code issues <br /> need to be included in the action plan. Also, he suggested the HRA may wish to <br /> consider including questions in the Park & Recreation survey regarding the <br /> downtown. <br /> Discussion followed regarding these issues: <br /> 1. Whether focus study or the market analysis for the downtown should be <br /> done first <br /> 2. Which uses appear to be successful in the downtown <br /> 3. Involvement of other groups and boards (i.e. Planning Commission) in <br /> the process <br /> • <br />
