Economic Development Advisory Committee <br />August 1, 2024 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Mr. Hembre asked for clarification on the administrative role of the Anoka County. Mr. <br />Grochala state that we likely would not use Anoka for admin purposes. Rather the City <br />would operate its own program that could supplement existing Anoka County programs. <br />Mr. Schueller explained that this ordinance would establish the fund. Programing and <br />use would be determined through a separate policy. <br />The EDAC was supportive of the proposed ordinance. They recommended that focus <br />should be on maintaining existing housing stock. <br /> <br />B. Main Street Corridor Master Plan Engagement <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala requested input from the EDAC on potential engagement stakeholders and <br />outreach strategies as the City prepares to proceed with the Main Street Corridor Master <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Kohler suggested adding the neighboring cities of Blaine, Columbus, and Ham Lake to <br />the list. Mr. Vojtech questioned what staff meant by adjacent neighborhoods, that the <br />site bordered other communities. Priority should be given to neighborhoods in Lino <br />Lakes. <br /> <br />The board emphasized it is important to establish a baseline of information, noting legal <br />limitations and processes the City must follow as examples. Build on knowledge as <br />process advances. <br /> <br />Using all forms of media with continual updates will be important. Open houses at the <br />beginning and end of project will be important. <br /> <br />C. Project Updates <br /> <br /> Mr. Grochala updated the committee on current City projects. <br /> <br /> <br />4. ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Mr. Hembre made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:13 a.m. Motion was supported <br />by Mr. Vojtech. Motion was carried 6 - 0. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />
