'~`-( ~~ ITEM 8.3. <br />( <br />MEMORANDUM <br />ty of ~~ <br />l~ ~ TO: Mayor & City Council <br />River <br />FROM: Pat Klaers, City Ad in t for <br />DATE: March 6,1995 <br />SUBJECT: Chamber of Commerce -State of the City <br />Address <br />Jackie Schuelein, Executive Vice President of the Elk River Area Chamber of Commerce, <br />will be present at this meeting to discuss with the City Council the proposed 1995 State <br />of the City meeting. A date of Tuesday, March 21, 1995, is being suggested for the City <br />Council (and EDA) to address the Chamber members on "the State of the City". <br />We have not done a Chamber of Commerce State of the City Program for a few years and <br />the Chamber feels that it is once again time to be updated by City officials on current <br />events. Jackie may be offering some suggestions to the City Council on a theme for this <br />State of the City Address. I have mentioned to her that it is our ten year anniversary of <br />being a Star City and economic development (along with development in general) is <br />• always an appropriate topic to discuss with Chamber members. <br />Councilmembers should give some thought to this State of the City date and to possible <br />topics on themes in order to provide Jackie with some feedback on her request. <br />At the 2/27 meeting, some Councilmembers indicated their preference for topics to <br />present at the State of the City meeting. The Mayor indicated that he would talk about <br />the Surface Water Management and Transportation Plan as two or our long range <br />planning issues; Councilmember Dietz indicated he would talk about the Library project; <br />Councilmember Holmgren indicated he would talk about park and recreation activities; <br />and Councilmember Farber indicated that either he or EDA member Gongoll would talk <br />about the proposed ice arena project. If we could get more information on what is <br />planned to be talked about at this meeting it would be nice. If not, we could talk about <br />this during the 3/13 EDA meeting as Jeff, Pat and Tom will also be making presentations <br />at the State of the City meeting. The Council should note that the only two staff members <br />that will be making presentations are Bill Rubin and myself. <br />lJ <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
