EDC Minutes <br />September 18, 2018 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />Commission discussion ensued regarding the estimated costs of the lots, <br />impervious coverage, storm water collection responsibilities, landscaping <br />requirements and projected construction cost estimates. <br /> <br /> c. Shovel Ready Certification <br /> <br />Tim Houle stated there is a lot of investigation paper work to be done and <br />Widseth Smith Nolting will be meeting with Nancy Malecha to continue <br />moving this process forward. <br /> <br /> d. Video <br /> <br />Tim Houle stated W idseth Smith Nolting has met with BlazeAir and are <br />negotiating to obtain some video footage from them to use and would also <br />like to use their drone expertise. Mr. Houle emphasized that the majority <br />of the video will be to portray a vision of what the Heart of the Good Life <br />Development has to offer and will not have a lot of video footage of local <br />events. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued about the vision of the video and whether it should be <br />customizable to make changes as the development progresses in the <br />future, whether the City wants to dictate the type of businesses to target <br />for the development and what would be available for additional housing <br />opportunities in the area. <br /> <br />Chair Jurchen commended the Council for moving forward with the Heart <br />of the Good Life Development and shared that he would like the video to <br />show how great the area is to live in as well as have a business. <br /> <br />Discussion took place about the video script and it was suggested to add <br />how conveniently located the development location is in retrospect to <br />State Highway 371. <br /> <br />Council Member Swanson inquired how and to whom the video will be <br />presented. Tim Houle stated the video will be on several websites and can <br />be sent via email with a clip of the video attached. Tyler Glynn with <br />BLAEDC added it will also be on the Minnesota Employment and <br />Economic Development website under Shovel-Ready Certified Sites. <br /> <br />Nancy Malecha pointed out that when the City is ready to begin the <br />marketing outreach plan she will come back to the EDC and ask for input <br />regarding the focal points and requested a list of suggestions. Ms. <br />Malecha shared the video production schedule stating WSN is hoping to <br />have the video ready to go by mid-November.
