He reported he was working to create an updated email list for newsletter <br />distribution. <br />Discussion included: <br />• Commissioner Sauter commented on the meetings she has held with local businesses and <br />discussed how she was working to fill in missing contact data. <br />• The Commission discussed the benefit of connecting directly with local business owners. <br />• The Commission suggested the compiled list of emails be made public data in order to <br />allow other organizations, such as Stockyard Days, to be able to contact local businesses. <br />• The Commission requested name badges or business cards in order to present this <br />information to local businesses when they visit. Staff noted they would look into creating <br />name badges for the EDC members. <br />• The Commission looked forward to speaking with the Twin Cities North Chamber of <br />Commerce to see how they can coordinate efforts. <br />• The Commission suggested the Lions be invited to a future meeting as well to discuss how <br />the EDC can partner with Stockyard Days. <br />VII.
