Here in Hugo we have a wide <br /> array of manufacturers that provide high-paying, high skill jobs to our community and help <br /> create our solid economic base. Minnesota Manufacturer's Week presents the City with an <br /> opportunity to put a spotlight on our manufacturers, and say "thank you" for helping make <br /> Hugo a great place to work and live. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> City staff has researched Minnesota Manufacturer's Week and has explored avenues for <br /> recognizing the event in the City of Hugo. To provide our manufacturers with community <br /> wide recognition, staff recommends that the Mayor and Council proclaim the week of <br /> October 23`d through the 27`h, 2006"Minnesota Manufacturer's Week" (see attached <br /> proclamation). Also, staff recommends submitting a letter from Mayor Miron to the The <br /> Citizen as a way of thanking our local manufacturers and to alert the community of the <br /> occasion (see attached letter and list). <br />
