Draft EDC Minutes May 15,2009 Page 3 of 4 • Commissioner Helgemoe said that Mounds View's central location should be referenced in the tagline. Commissioners Entsminger and Johnson said that they didn't see any clever or unique taglines on the list in the staff report. Commissioner Johnson agrees that the"three-C"idea is good because it rolls off the tongue. The consensus of the EDC was that they do not like "Two Words. One Community" and that"Close. Convenient. Connected."or"Convenient. Connected. Caring."stand out as the better options at this time. Community Development Director Ken Roberts reminded the EDC that the City Council will be discussing taglines again on May 26th, so if the EDC has any new tagline ideas, provide them to Heidi by May 20th 7.
