Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and <br />WORKSHOP moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION N0. 93-8-251 - CALLING A WORKSHOP MEETING <br />WITH THE LITTLE CANADA FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR WEDNESDAY, <br />SEPTEMBER 8, 1993 AT 6:30 P.M. <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Morelan. <br />Ayes (5) LaValle, Morelan, Hanson, Scalze, Pedersen. <br />Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />BUSINESS Hanson reported that it appears there are an increasing <br />SURVEY number of commercial and industrial business vacancies <br />in the City, and felt that the Council needed to take a <br />pro-active role in identifying what the Council can do <br />to help businesses. Hanson suggested that the City <br />send a questionnaire to local businesses to get their <br />ideas, but pointed out that there is very little that <br />can be done with tax rates. <br />Scalze reported that there is a business retention <br />program that is a part of the Star City Program. <br />Scalze stated that she was not sure what this program <br />involved, but thought it included surveys of local <br />businesses. <br />Pedersen suggested that a telephone survey might be <br />more productive than a mailed survey. Pedersen asked <br />how many businesses were in the City. <br />The City Administrator reported that the City has a <br />listing of commercial businesses, but he was unsure of <br />the number. The Administrator suggested that he put <br />together the number of City businesses, research the <br />business retention survey, which is a part of the Star <br />City Program, and discuss the inclusion of a business <br />component as part of a community survey. The <br />Administrator indicated that he would report further to <br />the Council on this matter. <br />Page 8 <br />
