<br />The key to the east side is getting the bridge built. Members will start looking at sections at a <br />time. A meeting with EDAC and Council is needed to see if they are on board. It would be good <br />to have a facilitator to do a strategic planning session. Should that be done with P&Z and <br />Council so that a plan meets common goals? The Comp Plan outlines economic development <br />goals, the need now is to get more directives in the economic development plan to meet comp <br />plan goals. <br /> <br />The Comp Plan goals for Planning District 2 on Lake Drive is an example. Mechanisms for <br />redevelopment should be part of the EDAC plan. Should the city purchase sites, or attempt to get <br />options, when properties become available? EDAC also needs to know what the council wants to <br />see on the city-owned 77th streets. <br /> <br />Ms. Divine requested that EDAC look through the Comp Plan material to understand the goals <br />and policies that the city will be moving forward with. <br /> <br /> Discussion ensued regarding resources available to assist nonprofits and businesses. Bremer <br />Bank is one resource that provides loans and grants for nonprofit uses. <br /> <br />VISITORS BUREAU UPDATE <br />Neighboring cities of the National Sports Center may be attempting to form a new Convention <br />and Visitors Bureau. The local hotels will be requesting to be a part of that. <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned. <br /> 2
