REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 5 nlorOJR S STAFF REPORT Report Number: 95-1399WS Lar Report Date: 7-06-95 AGENDA SESSION DATE JULY 10, 1995 DISPOSITION Item Description: Discussion of Anoka. County Chamber of Commerce Administrator's Review/Recommendation: ` - No comments to supplement this report ` - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY: Anoka County Chamber of Commerce who represents over 600 businesses has been looking for a viable site to attract a hotel/conference center. The membership and board have put a high priority on attracting such a center and they established a Hotel Task Force several months ago. With no luck in finding a site in Anoka County, the chamber would like to get behind the proposal for a hotel/conference center in Mounds View on Highway 10. Anoka, County Chamber is willing to assist in funding a market feasibility study as well as market the idea to their members. In light of this, Director, Tom Snell, felt it would be appropriate to address the Council on the activities of the Anoka County Chamber and ask for our support by becoming a member. Membership in Anoka County Chamber not only opens the door for a more regional approach to economic development but it also affords some excellent opportunities for our school district. Mr. Snell and a representative from the board will be in attendance at the work session to discuss the City's partnership with Anoka County Chamber of Commerce. I believe the suggestion dues would be $195 annually. (2,4,A4/ 4 44.4_ e_toAt. e Cathy Bennett, Economic D4velopment Coordinator j3.ECOMMENDATION;
