EDC Minutes <br />May 15, 2009 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />Commissioner Helgemoe said that Mounds View’s central location should be referenced in <br />the tagline. <br /> <br />Commissioners Entsminger and Johnson said that they didn’t see any clever or unique <br />taglines on the list in the staff report. Commissioner Johnson agrees that the “three-C” idea <br />is good because it rolls off the tonque. <br /> <br />The consensus of the EDC was that they do not like “Two Words. One Community” and <br />that “Close. Convenient. Connected.” or “Convenient. Connected. Caring.” stand out as the <br />better options at this time. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ken Roberts reminded the EDC that the City Council will <br />be discussing taglines again on May 26th, so if the EDC has any new tagline ideas, provide <br />them to Heidi by May 20th. <br /> <br />7. REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson announced that the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce is <br />having their annual golf tournament fundraiser on June 2nd and that there are still openings <br />to join a golf team. Commissioner Helgemoe added that the tournament will be held in Ham <br />Lake at Majestic Oaks and that the Chamber is also looking for prize donations. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson mentioned that two DECA students at Irondale High School won a <br />national award in California for a marketing presentation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Helgemoe mentioned a recent article in the paper about Arden Hills’ TCAAP <br />site and that the project is now on hold because the developer backed out and Arden Hills is <br />no longer planning to purchase the property. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked about the intersection of Highway 10 and 96 and Mr. Roberts <br />responded that Arden Hills, Ramsey County and the State have been discussing <br />reconstructing the intersection to remove the stoplights, which may be up for approval in <br />2010 or 2011. The reconstruction project also may provide a new entrance to the TCAAP <br />site in Arden Hills. <br /> <br />8.
