It is anticipated that Acapulco Restaurant will open by December 20. Other Business Nelson announced that he had received an anonymous postcard that cast the Northwest Quadrant in a poor light. Larson mentioned that he also received the postcard and it would appear that every Council member and commissioner also received it. He voiced disapproval of the negative tactic and the distortion of the facts. Harmon suggested that the postcard may raise a few questions, which could be addressed at the Town Hall Meeting. Black asked for suggestions from the Commission regarding a business survey. Harmon suggested that the business owners also include their employees, who would give a different perspective. Benke indicated that he would be willing to assist staff with this survey and would be willing to help conduct face-to-face interviews. Harmon also suggested that the survey be combined with marketing for the City, so that business owners are aware of City services. Benke cautioned staff about conducting a survey without having solutions to the business owner's problems. Larson indicated that he also could help with the survey and is looking forward to improving relationships with area businesses. Harmon also suggested that a newsletter through e-mails would be a great way to keep area business owners informed. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 8:03 a.m.
