1 <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES <br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br />ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />MINUTES <br /> <br />DATE: June 2, 2016 <br /> <br />MEMBERS <br />PRESENT: Nathan Vojtech, Don Johnson, Lou Masonick, Chad Wagner, Rebecca Glewwe, <br />Jim Schueller <br /> <br />MEMBERS <br />ABSENT: Julie Schwartz, Tami Wier, Thomas Colgan <br /> <br /> <br />OTHERS PRESENT: Michael Grochala, Alex McKenzie <br /> <br /> <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> <br />It was moved by Lou Masonick to approve the minutes from May 5, 2016. The Motion was <br />seconded by Nathan Vojtech and passed unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />NEW MEMBER <br /> <br /> EDAC welcomes our newest member Jim Schueller. <br /> <br /> <br />BUSINESS RETENTION PLAN DRAFT <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala explained the proposed Business Retention & Expansion Program also known as <br />BRE program. The main goal of this program is to establish a relationship with local businesses <br />(primarily manufacturing) through annual visitations conducted by community development staff <br />along with members of the city council. Annual visitations will be conducted on average of 1 per <br />month, with an estimated 7 per year. This method will create communication with businesses, in <br />which they can address challenges, needs, or other local problems their business may be facing. <br />During the visitation the representatives will provide helpful resources that are currently <br />available to help each business with their individual needs. Mr. Vojtech was interested in how <br />the city currently advertises resources currently available to businesses. Mr. Grochala explained <br />the city newsletter, website, local TV channel, and the bulletin board located at City Hall. The <br />committee was very fond of the idea of this program, and is hoping to enact it later this year, or <br />early 2017. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
