B. Notes from May 12 SC Mtg
Notes of the Executive and Steering Committee meetings of May 11 and 12, 2011, were
approved by the Executive Committee and will be sent out to all Steering Committee
members.
II. Update on work groups
It was indicated that the Transportation Work Group will be meeting on June 6, 2011 at
7:00, in Edina City Hall for a working group session.
III. Steering Committee and Executive Committee Membership
A. Need final roster of Steering Committee membership
B. Update outreach to Business/Property Owner
A number of Executive Committee members have contacted business owner/operators.
The Executive Committee is still working on reaching out to property/business owners
within the plan area to boost participation. It was suggested that the business owners
on the Steering Committee elect representation to the Executive Committee. The
Committee members will continue to work on contacting and encouraging participation.
It was suggested that perhaps a summer intern could gather business/owner contact
information and pass out fliers informing them of the plan process.
IV. Next steps
A. Digesting ideas developed at the May 12 Steering Committee meeting
B. Retaining Consultants
C. Other
It was stated that it is important to set up communication systems to allow storage of
information and provide outreach to those interested. There needs to be a public place
to keep documents that can be accessed by all parties and a place that can provide a
forum for participation such as Facebook. There needs to be a baseline "box" of data for
the working groups. A meeting will be set up for discussions with members of the
Executive Committee, Planning Staff and Communications Staff to help facilitate a
communications system.
The Committee discussed the RFP process and decided that a Draft RFP should be
available for the next meeting of the Executive Committee on June 8, 2011. It is
projected that a revised Draft could be on the agenda for the next meeting of the
steering Committee on June 16, 2011.
It was mentioned that more information is needed for the group regarding potential for
redeveloping city owned property, specifically the parking ramp. It was understood that
there may be some permanent infrastructure that the Committee members should be
aware of.
