A copy of that map will be available at the meeting. The Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce is considering a similar project. Eight thousand maps will be printed and circulated by the Chamber over a 1 to 2 year period. The maps are free to new businesses and residents. The City will receive 100 maps and can obtain additional maps once the initial supply is gone. The question is whether the EDA would be interested in having an ad in this proposed map of the City. The ad could feature the EDA, Downtown redevelopment or it could deal with the City as a whole in some promotional fashion. There is sufficient money in the budget to cover the cost of the ad. Cost of the ads varies from $125 to $850. A rate sheet is attached. 1. Do nothing 2. Direct staff to work with the Chamber to develop an ad, including the size and cost of the ad.

Manager, Kansas City Facilities Service Office United States Postal Service 6800 West 64th Street, Ste. 100 Overland Park, KS 66202-4179 Re: City of Prior Lake, Minnesota / New Postal Facility Dear Mr. Stone: Our purpose in meeting with Postal Service representatives on November 14th was to persuade them of the mutual benefits of locating the new post office facility in our developing Downtown area. Assuming the Postal Service exhibited a serious interest, we had hoped to then help implement formulation of specific proposals from the private landowners. We are in receipt of your November 19,1999 letter affording the City thirty days in which to provide the following specific information on the proposed downtown post office site: + Specific site proposed + Ownership + Size + SUNey or Plat + Price + Legal Description + Timeline of Assembly and Delivery. We have reviewed various sites and met with the owners of affected properties. Given the Postal Service 3Q-day deadline, and the fact that you are proceeding with the Toronto / Tower site acquisition on numerous fronts, it is apparent that the City will not be able to respond with the details satisfactory to your needs. As you continue your development activities on the site you selected, please be reminded that there are several planning and/or zoning issues that require resolution. Our City staff will be happy to inform you on the status of these issues as you proceed with your plans. Sincerely, w~ Yh, 1J1~ Wesley M.

I have enjoyed my time on the EDA and look forward to a continued involvement with the City and its business community as soon as my new house in Prior Lake is completed. The EDA and the City of Prior Lake are faced with significant challenges in their attempt to understand and meet the needs of the existing business community, while at the same time, create a positive image which will retain that existing business and enhance the recruitment of new business. Please feel free to call on me if I can be of assistance. Best wishes for a very successful new year. ~ / / Boif~der RDJ/wp cc: F. Boyles /' W. Mader ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CITY OF PRIOR LAKE MEETING DATE: AGENDA#: PREPARED BY: DECEMBER 20, 1999 8A DONALD RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL FROM BUSINESS SURVEY DISCUSSION: At the November EDA meeting, Commissioner Schenck presented the results of the business survey recently completed by EDA members. At the conclusion of the discussion, the EDA concurred that they would further discuss the survey results at the December 20 meeting and to make specific recommendations to the City Council for action steps which should be taken to address the issues identified by the survey. ~~~ lj'O While many of the issues had to do with things over which the City has no control, a number of them were capable of consideration and possible action by the City or the EDA. The issues seemed to fall into several larger groups. These were (1) City should be more business-friendly and develop more and better communications with businesses; (2) there should be less regulation of business; (3) the physical image of the City needs to be improved: (4) Downtown redevelopment; (5) support of local businesses; and (6) street and highway access. In response to these groups of issues, the following are suggested as specific actions which could be taken : Repeat the business survey every 2 to 3 years and retain a professional survey.. to conduct it. Continue Downtown redevelopment efforts by ('D l.". implementing recommendations in the Downtown ~rJ55 '- Redevelopment Plan. -b A 60 ~" \~ Iltfc an EG......t1111Ic :Ot:vetUll'Wl~1"li- DiFeetor.
