ANDREA AND COMMISSIONERS IT'S WHO KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON TONIGHT YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM PRISCILLA MAYOWA WHO YOU'VE NOT ACTUALLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE INTRODUCED TO YOU BEFORE. SHE IS OUR BUSINESS ASSISTANT
SPECIALIST. SHE WORKS WITH BARB PRIMARILY WITH OUR SMALL BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND SHE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CRM SOFTWARE THAT WILL
BE IMPLEMENTED TO BETTER TRACK OUR BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS AND ALSO INTRODUCING HERSELF A BIT AS SHE IS NEW TO YOU. WELCOME PRISCILLA. THANK YOU.
GOOD EVENING. PRESIDENT ERICKSON COMMISSIONERS THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. YOU'RE SPEAKING A LITTLE SOFTLY SIDE OF YOU. OH, CAN YOU HEAR ME? PROBABLY THIS BETTER.
OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. MY NAME IS PRISCILLA. LIKE HOLLY MENTIONED AND I SERVE AS THE BUSINESS ASSISTANCE SPECIALIST AND I'M
HERE TO GIVE YOU THE SAME OVERVIEW. I'M TRYING TO FIND THE PRESENTATION. >> OKAY. IN THE MEANTIME, WHILE WE'RE TRYING TO SORT THAT OUT, I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT MYSELF.
I WAS AN INTERN IN 2023 HERE AT THE CITY WHERE I HELPED DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT THE BLOOMING BLOOMINGTON PROGRAM. SO THAT WAS A REALLY GREAT EXPERIENCE AND THEN I LEFT AND
WORKED FOR A NONPROFIT AS A DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS SERVING STATEWIDE COUNCIL OF YOUNG PEOPLE ON POLICY MATTERS FOR FOR YOUTH WORK.
AND NOW I'M BACK AT THE CITY SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURS WHICH I REALLY ENJOY DOING OKAY WE HAVE THE POWERPOINT UP JUST GIVING YOU SOME INFORMATION ON
ONE OF MY PROJECTS IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT I WAS I WAS ASSIGNED TO WHEN I STARTED SO TO KICK US OFF WHAT IS THIS
YEAR? UM JUST REAL QUICKLY IT HELPS ORGANIZATIONS BUSINESSES, GOVERNMENTS TRACK AND DOCUMENT INTERACTIONS WITH THEIR TARGET AUDIENCE CLIENTS HOWEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.
WHO ARE THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY FOR US BIG SMALL MEDIUM ALL SIZES AND IT HELPS US TRACK OUR ACTIVITIES AND HELP US KNOW LIKE INTERACTIONS THE
STAFF'S HAVING WITH WITH THOSE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. AND SO TO GIVE YOU SOME HISTORY AND CONTEXT OF HOW WE CAME ABOUT THIS IN 2023 IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO THE CITY THAT
WE GET THE SOFTWARE AND THEN IN 2024 AN RFP WAS PUT OUT TO PROCURE THOSE SERVICES AND THEN THIS YEAR WE SIGNED A THREE YEAR CONTRACT WITH EXECUTIVE PULSE.
AN EXECUTIVE PASS IS A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER DESIGNED BY ECONOMIC DEVELOPERS AND IT'S VERY COMMONLY USE AMONGST GOVERNMENT ENTITIES LIKE OURSELVES.
>> AND THEN WHAT WILL THIS DO? IT WILL REALLY HELP US TRACK OUR ENGAGEMENT WITH BUSINESSES . SO ANY INTERACTIONS, ANY BUSINESS VISITS WHETHER RETENTION TOUCHPOINT VISITS,
WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE IT WILL SERVE AS A DATABASE WHERE WE CAN STORE ALL INFORMATION ON BUSINESSES AND IT WILL ALSO HELP US COLLECT RESOURCES ACROSS THE STATE THAT ARE
AVAILABLE TO BUSINESSES AND THEN WE CAN ALSO GENERATE REPORTS AND INSIGHTS THAT COULD ALSO BE PRESENTED TO THE COMMISSION IF NEEDED. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE
KIND OF INFORMATION THAT WE WILL DOCUMENT IN THE CRM SO THINGS LIKE ADDRESS THINGS LIKE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES
WHETHER IT'S A BLOOMINGTON HEADQUARTER OR SUCH AS THAT. >> AND THEN BENEFITS OF THE CRM IT WILL REALLY HELP US BE MORE COLLABORATIVE ACROSS THE
CITY SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT DEPARTMENT ALSO HELPS US REDUCE AND INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE LOSS. SO IF A STAFF MEMBER WERE TO LEAVE THEY DON'T JUST LEAVE WITH ALL THE INFORMATION THAT
THEY HAVE IT HELPS US BE BETTER RESPONSIVE TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY WHICH IS FOUNDATIONAL TO BUILDING TRUST WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO BUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR
BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND THEN FINALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT OUR IMPLEMENTATION PHASE SO SINCE I STARTED WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING OUT AND CUSTOMIZING
THE SOFTWARE MAKING SURE IF IT'S OUR CONTACTS ARE FIRST PHASE ADOPTERS WHICH IS THE PORT ADMINISTRATION STAFF AS WELL AS THE BUSINESS ASSISTANCE STAFF WE WILL BE
USING AND TESTING IT STARTING THIS MONTH AND THEN NEXT YEAR IN QUARTER ONE WE WILL PLAN TO INTEGRATE ADDITIONAL STAFF MEMBERS AS NEEDED IF IT SEEMS
GOOD FOR THEIR OWN USE. NOW THE FUN PART ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? QUESTIONS FOR PRISCILLA HER COMMENTS. MR. NELSON THANK YOU PRESIDENT
. A COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS. SO I USE CRM IN MY OWN BUSINESS AND SO A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I'M LOOKING AT IS DOES THIS INTEGRATE WITH OUR WEBSITE?
HOW DO WE GET INFORMATION WITH REGARDS TO IF THOSE BUSINESSES GO TO ANY PARTICULAR PAGES ON OUR WEBSITE? IS IT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE INTEGRATED INTO SAY THE
BLOOMINGTON BMT? WHAT TRAVEL AND TOURISM THINGS THAT YOU KNOW THEY COULD DO IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A TON OF BUSINESSES COMING TO LOOK TO DO THINGS.
DOES IT ALLOW US TO DO SEQUENCES OR DRIP CAMPAIGNS? AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION I'D HAVE IS IS THERE ANY TYPE OF AI COMPONENT TO THIS THAT
ALLOWS IT TO ANALYZE DATA TO HELP US WITH ANY OF THAT COMMUNICATION PORTION OF IT? OKAY. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER NELSON
YOU HAVE FOUR QUESTIONS. I'M GOING TO TRY AND GO INDIVIDUAL ON EACH OF THE QUESTIONS. SO THE FIRST QUESTION DOES INTEGRATE WITH OUR WEBSITE. SO RIGHT NOW IT DOES NOT WE
HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO HAVE SORT OF LIKE A SURVEY COLLECTION FORM EMBEDDED IN THE WEBSITE. SO IF BUSINESSES COME AND THEY SHARE THEIR INFORMATION WITH US THEN WE CAN DIRECT THAT
INTO THE CRM. SO YES AND NO IN A WAY IF WE WERE TO EXPAND THE CAPABILITY WE WOULD HAVE TO ASSIGN A NEW REQUIREMENT FOR MORE MONEY. THEN THE SECOND QUESTION
INTEGRATING WITH BMT. SO THAT'S A CONVERSATION WE'VE HAD IN TERMS OF WHO ARE THE EXTERNAL PARTNERS AND INTERNAL PARTNERS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE CRM. WE HAVE NOT CONSIDERED BMT
SPECIFICALLY IN HOW THEY CAN USE THAT DATA BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN KEEP IN MIND AND THEN DRIP CAMPAIGNS AND THAT SORT. SO RIGHT NOW THIS TOOL WE HAVE
NOT EXPLORED IT FOR THAT USE. I DON'T KNOW HOW GROUPS JUST IT IS TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT BUT THERE ARE OTHER TOOLS OR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES IF WE WERE TO EVER DO THAT. BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT IN OUR PURVIEW TO DO THOSE THINGS.
WE JUST WANT TO DOCUMENT INTERACTIONS AND STAFF ENGAGEMENTS AND DO SOME IMPACT REPORTING SO THAT WOULD BE MAYBE A FUTURE CONSIDERATION AND THEN THE FINAL QUESTION
ABOUT I, I WILL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT. WE HAVE NOT EXPLORED THAT PIECE YET. MR. HUNT, GO BACK TO THE WHERE
YOU HAD THE INPUT THAT YOU CAPTURE THAT SCREEN OR CLICK OKAY THE NEXT PAGE . SO IDEALLY THIS WOULD BE A GOOD SOURCE TO KIND
OF BUILDING ON WHAT COMMISSIONER NELSON SAID. BUT GOOD SOURCE FOR THE FUTURE BOOMING AND BUSINESS SURVEYS WHEN WE GET AROUND TO DOING THAT AT SOME POINT IN E FUTURE AND DID YOU SAY HOW ARE
YOU CAPTURING THIS INFORMATION? IS IT YOU KNOW THERE JUST IS WHEN A BUSINESS COMES IN AND THERE'S OUTPUT FROM SOMEBODY TO SAY HEY, I'VE GOT A FEW COUPLE OF QUESTIONS OR JUST THROUGH YOUR CONVERSATION
YOU'RE ACTUALLY CAPTURING SOME OF THIS OR IS THERE SOME PURPOSEFUL YOU'RE GOING OUT TO CERTAIN SEGMENT OF BUSINESS TO TRY AND CAPTURE THINGS. COMMISSIONER HUNT SO SO WE'RE
PART OF BUILDING OUT THE CRM IS BUILDING OUT THAT PROCESS THAT YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE A PROCESS THAT WE FOLLOW AT THE CITY BUT MY PLAN IS THAT IT WOULD BE
USED WHETHER SOMEONE COMES IN AT THE COUNTER TO TALK TO US OR SOMEONE REACHES OUT VIA EMAIL OR WE GO OUT TO BUSINESS. SO WE HAVE WE'RE DEVELOPING WHAT WE CALL LIKE SURVEY FORMS WHERE WHATEVER THE BUSINESS IS
THERE'S A LIST OF QUESTIONS THAT A STAFF MEMBER WILL HAVE TO ANSWER AND FILL IN THAT INFORMATION AND THAT GOES INTO THE SIERRA. OKAY. AND THEN COMMISSIONER HUNT AND COMMISSIONERS, IF I MAY, THERE
ARE A FEW WELL THERE ARE MANY SCENARIOS WHERE WE'RE CAPTURING DATA RIGHT NOW BUT IT'S IN AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET. SO THIS IS GOING TO BRING US UP TO OUR NEXT LEVEL. BUT SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF THAT WOULD BE BARB AND PRISCILLA DO BUSINESS
ENGAGEMENT VISITS WHERE THEY ACTUALLY GO OUT TO DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL AREAS OF THE CITY AND DIRECTLY INTERACT WITH BUSINESSES. THAT WOULD BE A PRIME OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS. THE MAYOR AND I GO ON BUSINESS
RETENTION VISITS TO SOME OF OUR LARGE EMPLOYERS. WE WOULD USE THAT AS WELL AND THEN IF WE HAD SOMETHING LIKE THE BUSINESS FORUM WE WOULD BE CAPTURING ALL THAT INFORMATION IN THIS AREA MAKING SURE
EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED WAS CAPTURED. SO THOSE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF HOW WE MIGHT USE THIS THE OTHER WAY THAT WE'LL BE USING IT TO PRIMARY WAYS ONE IS THOSE CONTINUED
ENGAGEMENTS AND THE OTHER IS WHEN THERE'S A PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS THAT WE TALKED TO. SO IF THAT COMES TO US THROUGH GREATER MSP OR INDEED IF IT STARTS TO BECOME A SERIOUS
CONVERSATION WILL DOCUMENT THAT HERE BECAUSE THERE'S OFTEN MANY ELEMENTS THAT ARE DISCUSSED IN THE PROCESS IF A BUSINESS CONSIDERING COMING HERE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CAPTURINGHAT IN ONE
PLACE WHERE ANY STAFF PERSON COULD SEE IT AND OF COURSE IS CAPTURING ACTUALLY INDEED THE TIME TO REGISTER AND RECORD THAT AND COUNTER HOWEVER IT
MAY BE SO OKAY GREAT. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I MEAN YOU MENTIONED THE WE HAVE SPREADSHEETS ALREADY AND I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE GOING TO POPULATE WITH THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO START FROM SCRATCH EXCUSE ME FROM SCRATCH. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? COULD YOU ANSWER THAT PLEASE? I'LL GIVE YOU ONE. YOU MIGHT RUN ONE LIKE I JUST
DID. THANK YOU. LET'S BREAK IT DOWN THE LINE. RIGHT.
GOT I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. I LIKE THAT STORY. SO RATHER THAN STARTING FROM SCRATCH WE'RE GOING TO USE THE INFORMATION THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE WE'RE GOING TO POPULATE AND WE'RE GOING TO BUILD THIS DATABASE FROM EXISTING SOURCES
BUT THEN ALSO FROM FUTURE INTERACTIONS AS WELL, I'M ASSUMING CORRECT? YES, CORRECT. YEAH. AND JUST TO ADD AS WELL, WE ALREADY DID POPULATE SO ONE OF THE ONE OF THE PARTS
OF BUILDING OUT THE CRM WAS GATHERING ALL THOSE SPREADSHEETS AND THEN HANDING IT TO THE I GUESS DEVELOPERS OF THE SOFTWARE AND THEN THEY HELPED PUT IT IN FOR US AND IN THE SPRING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN INTERN WHO WOULD THEN
HELP CLEAN IT OUT AND DO MORE POPULATE AND I BRING THAT UP AND WE LITERALLY HAD THIS CONVERSATION A WEEK AGO AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE INVITATION LIST FOR THE STATE OF THE CITY AND ALL THE FOLKS THAT WE'VE
HAD THE TOUCHPOINTS WITH WHETHER IT'S THROUGH CONNECTIONS OR THE BLOOMINGTON BUSINESS CONNECTION OR THE OUTREACH ANYTHING THAT WE'VE DONE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
WHEN LIKE THOSE FOLKS TO OUR STATE OF THE CITY FACILITY THE MAYOR AND I ARE EXPERTS THIS FOR TALKING BEFORE THE MEETING ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS WITH
EDUCATORS SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND I WOULD THINK THAT MAYBE IN THIS BASE IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO SAY I MEAN WE KNOW LIKE WITH SYRIA FOR EXAMPLE, WE'VE GOT NORMAN HAS
GOT THIS VACUUM TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM. THERE ARE OTHER ONES I THINK THERE'S MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO MORE ON THOSE THINGS. THE SCHOOLS OBVIOUSLY ARE DOING SOME THINGS.
THERE'S SOME TRAINING AND AND THINGS AND SO IT MAY BE JUST ANOTHER CONNECTION POINT FOR THE BUSINESSES TO DO IT AND PERHAPS HELP US TO REALIZE WHAT KIND OF DEMANDS ARE OUT
THERE AND THAT CAN BE COMMUNICATED. I'VE LONG FELT THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE COORDINATION BETWEEN THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN BUSINESS
IN GENERAL AND THE CITY IN GENERAL BECAUSE YOU CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS TOGETHER AND THAT THE GERMAN MODEL IS VERY MUCH WHERE THERE'S VERY ACTIVE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE BUSINESSES AND THE EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS AND AND IT'S BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL IN TERMS OF HELPING COMPANIES LIKE SIC AND OTHERS TO DEVELOP A VERY ROBUST BUSINESS. SO THERE MAY BE A PLACE
IN THERE TO TO DO THOSE THINGS IN AND ALSO JUST LOOK AT OTHER COLLABORATIONS BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE IN A UNIQUE POSITION TO TAKE AND HOPEFULLY DEVELOP A FORUM WHERE YOU CAN ENCOURAGE
COLLABORATIONS AND CROSS COMMUNICATION AND THINGS AND THAT ONLY BENEFITS EVERYBODY. OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. PETERSON YEAH. I WAS THINKING ABOUT JAN'S
QUESTION ABOUT THE INTERNET MARKETING SORT OF THING AND FIRST TO BE HONEST I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHY WOULD WE BOTHER TRYING TO GENERATE LEADS ON THAT PATH? YOU KNOW?
IN FACT I WENT TYPED IN REMODELING CONTRACTOR BLOOMINGTON AND GOOGLE JUST TO SPEND SOME OF YOUR MONEY, HUH ? I GOT A CLICK TO SPEND MONEY
BUT AND I YOU KNOW FIRST I WAS THINKING WELL WHY WOULD WHY WOULD TORRALBA AND GOOGLE SEARCHING FOR BLOOMINGTON BUT I ACTUALLY ACTUALLY THINK THERE IS AN ANGLE ON THIS THAT THAT'S A MORE SENSIBLE ANGLE AND IT'S MORE LIKE SOMEBODY
LIKE HOW DO I START A BUSINESS IN BLOOMINGTON AND AND KIND OF HAVING THAT AS THEIR INTENT AND HAVING A FUNNEL BECAUSE IN MARKETING WE TALKED ABOUT FUNNELS THAT LEAD INTO THIS. I THINK THIS SYSTEM SEEMS LIKE
THE FUNNEL WHERE YOU KNOW YOU'RE OUT TALKING TO PEOPLE OR SOMEBODY CALLS ON THE PHONE AND THAT'S THAT THAT'S THE TOP OF THE FUNNEL THAT THAT WHERE PEOPLE ARE ENTERING. BUT I THINK THERE'S ALSO A FUNNEL THAT'S MORE LIKE A SMALL BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURSHIP FUNNEL THAT
COULD ORIGINATE FROM KIND OF A KEYWORD MARKETING YOU KNOW OR JUST ORGANIC SEARCH KIND OF COMING IN WHERE YOU WANT TO YOU KNOW IF WE IF WE EITHER BUILD CONTENT THAT WORK WELL
FOR ORGANIC SEARCH OR WE HAD A VERY TARGETED KIND OF PAID CAMPAIGN THAT WENT AROUND THAT TO KIND OF GET PEOPLE IN THAT DOOR WHERE IT WAS WHERE IT WAS WE COULD SHOW IT WAS WORTH THE MONEY TO DO IT.
YOU'D EVENTUALLY WANT TO TIE THAT DATA TO THERE SO THAT YOU COULD TAKE KIND OF WHAT HAPPENED WHAT HAPPENED LATER AND POINT BACKWARDS AND SAY, YOU KNOW THAT THING THAT WE SPENT $5,000 ON TO GET PEOPLE
IN THE DOOR PAID OFF AND SO I THANKS FOR ASKING THAT BECAUSE IT YOU KNOW, IT MADE ME THINK AND IT TOOK ABOUT TWO MINUTES TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY AND SO YEAH,
OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS FOR PRISCILLA. WELL, THANK YOU. I'M SORRY MR. LUNTZ AGAIN, CAN'T LEAVE YOU OUT.
OH, I'M JUST I'M JUST WONDERING DO WE HOW GOOD FUEL DO WE HAVE? WHY A BUSINESS LANDS IN BLOOMINGTON? IS IT THE OLD PROXIMITY OF THE WASHERS THE OWNERS HOUSE?
IS IT THE ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS WHICH ARE SO GOOD? IS IT THEIR SISTER IN LAW LIVES HERE OR THERE'S A NODULE OF SIMILAR BUSINESSES SUPPLIERS OR SOMETHING THAT
REALLY HELPS THEM? IT'S PROBABLY ALL OF THE ABOVE I'M GUESSING BUT IS THERE A TREND OR ANY ONE THAT YOU CAN DISCERN IT THIS REALLY SEEMS TO BE A FUNDAMENTAL REASON WHY
WE'RE SELECTED. THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION COMMERCIAL AND I WILL POINT TO THE 2024 BUSINESS SURVEY THAT WE HAD THAT SHOWED THAT I DON'T WANT TO CALL IT THE WRONG NUMBER BUT SOMETHING
OVER 70% OF BLOOMINGTON BUSINESSES WERE ALSO RESIDENTS IN THE CITY. SO I WOULD I CAN INFER AT LEAST THROUGH THAT SURVEY THAT MOST OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS IN OUR CITY PEOPLE SETTING UP
BUSINESS AND SETTING UP SHOP HERE EITHER IN THE REGION IN THE AREA OR LIVE IN BLOOMINGTON. BUT IT'S ALL OF THE ABOVE LIKE YOU DEDUCED AS WELL 2122 SAY
I'M SORRY THE BLOOMINGTON BUSINESS CONNECTION DO YOU? OH YOU'RE WELCOME TO KNOW. SO IF I MAY, MR. PRESIDENT, SO COMMISSIONER LYONS, WE WE
ASKED THAT VERY QUESTION. WE'VE GOT A GROUP THAT GETS TOGETHER IT'S OUR BLOOMINGTON BUSINESS WHAT WE CALL IT WHICH ONE BUSINESS CAN MAKE PARTNERSHIP? YEAH, THE BLOOMINGTON ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP. I LOSE TRACK OF WHAT WE THE
WOMEN'S AND ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP. WE'RE BASICALLY WE QUARTERLY WE GET TOGETHER AND WE MEET TWICE WE MEET FIRST TO KIND OF FORM UP A PROBLEM AND ISSUE AND THEN ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF LATER MEET AGAIN TO
BRAINSTORM WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT AND HOW TO GO THROUGH THIS. AND ONE OF THE MOST RECENT ONES WE DID WAS I THINK WE DID IT IN THE FALL OF LATE SUMMER WHY BLOOMINGTON AND AND IT WAS IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING
CONVERSATION AND THESE WERE BUSINESSES ACROSS BLOOMINGTON NEW AND NEW AND OLD BIG AND SMALL AND YES ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU BROUGHT UP AND A LOT MORE INCLUDING YOU KNOW, THE
AMPLE PARKING, THE FREE AMPLE PARKING OR CLOSE TO EMPLOYEES OR THE WELCOMING CLIMATE OR THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT IN A CITY THAT IS LESS THAN IT'S
IN A BUSINESS FRIENDLY CITY. I'LL PUT IT IN A POSITIVE SPIN THERE SO SO THERE'S A WE CAN WE CAN GET YOU THAT INFORMATION AND WE PUT IT TOGETHER I KNOW AND IT TURNED INTO OUR A ONE PAGER THAT WE
ACTUALLY DID TAKE ON THE TRADE MISSION THAT THAT KIM AND I WENT ON WITH THE GOVERNOR TO TO SWITZERLAND AND GERMANY BECAUSE IT SHOWED WHAT WE HEARD WHY BLOOMINGTON AND WE
PUT IT INTO AA1 PAGE SHEET AND IT TURNED OUT REALLY WELL AND WE GOT A GOOD EXPLAINER OF WHAT WE WERE DOING. THERE'S NO ONE REALLY WHEN THAT HITS YOU IN THE NOSE THOUGH THAT THIS IS OUR
FUNDAMENTAL ASSET WAY SMALL BUSINESSES AND MEDIUM BUSINESSES COME AND AS A AS A REAL ESTATE GUY, WHAT'S THE ONE REASON? ROB LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION OR AS THEY SAY
IN SOUTH AFRICA POSITION POSITION POSITION IT'S YOU KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY THE NUMBER ONE THING IT'S THE LOCATION THE PROXIMITY TO DOWNTOWN NEXT DOOR TO THE AIRPORT ON THE FREEWAYS IT
THINGS THAT MAKE SENSE BUT IT MAKES SENSE A LOT OF SENSE WHEN YOU REALLY KIND OF PUT IT TOGETHER WITH THE INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES THAT WE HAVE AND WITH WHEN YOU LOOK AT RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC FROM HERE
TO THERE AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT JUST THE YOU KNOW NO EXACTLY. SO I MEAN IF YOU CAN GET OFF A PLANE AND BE AT YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS OR YOUR COMPANY'S PLACE OF BUSINESS IN TWO
MINUTES IN BLOOMINGTON, THERE'S AN ATTRACTION TO THAT . OTHERS SAY YEAH, I HAVE A COMMENT. YEAH, I WOULD ADD THAT KIND
OF IN LINE WITH THE PRESENTATION I LIKE THAT IT'S BEING USED AS A PORTAL RATHER THAN LIKE A AUTO INTAKE IS TO KIND OF AN HOUR TO ADD TO THE CONVERSATION. WHAT I'VE SEE SOMETIMES NOT NECESSARILY KILL DEALS BUT
DEFINITELY SLOW DOWN MOMENTUM IS IF YOU HAVE A PROCESS WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE DIRECT CONNECTION WITH THE STAFF OUT OF CITY OR IF YOU HAVE COMPETING INTERESTS FOR BASICALLY YOUR TIME OR YOUR
RESOURCES THEN THAT'S WHAT COULD AFFECT DECISION MAKING WHETHER YOU GO TO BLOOMINGTON OR YOU GO TO ANOTHER MARKET TO I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S LIKE A CAR DEALER EFFECT CAR DEALERS WANT TO BE
TOGETHER A BUNCH OF THEM, YEAH SURE, DEPENDING ON THE BUSINESS. HUH? OH OKAY. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? WELL, YOU ENGENDERED A GOOD DISCUSSION, PRISCILLA.
THANK YOU. YEAH. AND SO HOW ARE YOU HERE TOO? YES. PRESIDENT ERICKSON AND COMMISSIONERS, WE'RE MOVING
RIGHT ON TO ADMINISTRATOR UPDATES. THIS WAS A BRIEF MEETING TODAY AND I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE THE MAYOR START TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE TRADE MISSION. HE ALLUDED TO. ARE YOU OUR NEW ADMINISTRATOR? I AM NOT.
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, HOLLY. APPRECIATE IT. I DID AT LEAST WANT TO MENTION AND I MENTIONED IT JUST IN PASSING SO BEFORE THANKSGIVING KIM BERGGREN WHO IS OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTOR HERE IN BLOOMINGTON AND I WENT WITH THE GOVERNOR'S TRADE MISSION TO SWITZERLAND AND GERMANY AND WE STOPPED IN ZURICH AND DUSSELDORF AND
BERLIN AND IT WAS IT WAS A GOOD SIZED GROUP. I THINK THERE WERE CLOSE TO 60 PEOPLE ON THE IN THE IN THE MISSION WHO WENT WE OTHER THAN STATE PEOPLE YOU KNOW DID AND
THE GOVERNOR'S STAFF I THINK WE WERE THE ONLY PUBLIC ENTITY INVOLVED IN THE MISSION WHICH I THOUGHT WAS KIND OF DISAPPOINTING BUT KIND OF SURPRISING AS WELL. IT WAS IT WAS BROKEN DOWN INTO
COHORTS. I ENDED UP WITH THE THE HIGHER EDUCATION FOLKS AND BUMPED AROUND. SO YOUR DISCUSSION, MR. PRESIDENT, ABOUT THE THE DIFFERENT EDUCATION MODELS
IN IN EUROPE AND PARTICULARLY IN GERMAN GERMANY IS WELL TIMED BECAUSE WE LEARNED A LOT AND HAD SOME GOOD CONVERSATIONS WITH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FOLKS. OUR KIM ENDED UP IN THE
MEDTECH COHORT AND THEY RAN THOSE FOLKS RAGGED WITH ALL THAT WAS GOING ON INCLUDING A BIG TRADE SHOW THAT THEY WENT TO. BUT ALL IN ALL IT WAS IT WAS DEFINITELY A WORTHWHILE TRIP
AND PROBABLY THE WHAT IT MADE IT MOST WORTHWHILE. WHEN WE WERE IN ZURICH WE WERE ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF FROM THE SICK WORLD HEADQUARTERS THERE UP IN THE BLACK FOREST. SO WE RENTED A CAR AND WE
SPENT THE DAY WITH THEM AND THERE'S JUST SOMETHING TO BE SAID I THINK ABOUT IF YOU'RE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD YOU GO SEE YOU GO, SEE YOU GO, YOU GO VISITING. AND WE WENT VISITING AND IT
WAS IT WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED AND THEY'VE GOT AN IMPRESSIVE CAMPUS THERE AND THEY ARE A BIG PLAYER IN THAT IN THAT CUTE LITTLE TOWN THAT THEY ARE IN BUT ALSO IN THE REGION THE
THE I THINK 1 OR 2 TOWNS OVER THE SOCCER PITCHES NAMED SICK FIELD AND SO I MEAN THEY'RE THERE THEY'RE VERY INVOLVED AND THEY'RE VERY DEEPLY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THERE AND MUCH LIKE THEY'RE
BECOMING HERE IN BLOOMINGTON. SO IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTHWHILE AND DEFINITELY WORTH THE TIME SPENT AND THE CONNECTIONS THAT WE MADE NOW PEOPLE IN GERMANY LOVE MINNESOTA. THEY REALLY DO AND TO MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS WITH FOLKS
THERE BUT ALSO WITH THE MINNESOTA BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT WAS ON THE TRIP ALSO THAT WE HAD TIME TO TO JUST TALK TO AND GET A CHANCE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT BETTER. THEY HAD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS
TO SAY ABOUT BLOOMINGTON. THEY WANTED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT BLOOMINGTON SO ALL IN ALL I THINK IT WAS DEFINITELY TIME WELL SPENT AND I'M I'M GLAD WE WENT AND THAT
WAS THE SECOND THING THAT I'LL JUST QUICKLY BRING UP IF I COULD. LAST WEEK WE HAD OUR THIRD MEETING OF BLOOMINGTON CEOS. WE'VE GOT THIS GROUP THAT WE
GET TOGETHER AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S QUARTERLY NOW IT'S JUST KIND OF AS THEY AS WE GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET TOGETHER AND WE DID MEET OVER AT THE NEW SICK BUILDING OVER IN THE SELF LOOP IT'S ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
RIBBON CUTTING NEXT SPRING SO YOU CAN ALL SEE IT BECAUSE IT REALLY IS SPECIAL. IT REALLY IS SOMETHING. BUT THE GROUP OF CEOS WE HAD TOGETHER I THINK WE HAD EIGHT OR SO OF OUR CEOS OF OUR
BIGGEST COMPANIES AND I SPENT LITERALLY TWO HOURS JUST KIND OF LETTING THEM TALK AMONGST THEMSELVES ABOUT ISSUES OF THE DAY FROM FROM IMMIGRATION AND ICE ENFORCEMENT TO TAX POLICY TO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND A
VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND I THINK IT'S POWERFUL THAT AND HELPFUL IF TO GIVE CEOS THE OPPORTUNITY JUST TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. IT'S IT'S KIND OF LIKE, YOU
KNOW, ELECTED OFFICIALS TALKING TO EACH OTHER OR DEVELOPERS TALKING TO EACH OTHER WHEN YOU CAN TALK WITHIN A PEER GROUP AND GET SOME DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES IT BECOMES I THINK PRETTY HELPFUL AND AND FOLKS CAN LEARN A LOT.
SO IT WAS ANOTHER WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR THAT WE KIND OF PUT ON AND STAFF DID A GREAT JOB PULLING IT ALL TOGETHER AND AND AND LIKE I SAID THE FACILITY IS FANTASTIC.
JUST FANTASTIC TALENTS THAT A GROUP OF CEOS I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY'RE STILL AROUND THERE USED TO BE AN ORGANIZATION IN THE TWIN CITIES CALLED THE SOBEYS YOU
KNOW WHERE THEY WERE SONS OF BOSSES SO THEY WERE HEIR APPARENT AND THEY WOULD GET TOGETHER I DON'T KNOW IF THEY STILL EXIST BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT ONE. BUT THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE
ANOTHER ONE THAT HMM HMM HMM HMM. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. FEW OTHER UPDATES THEN. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR APPROVAL
REPORT LEVY AND BUDGET HERE THE LEVY WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL ON DECEMBER 8TH AND SUBMITTED TO HENNEPIN COUNTY TODAY. THEY'VE ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIPT SO WE ARE ALL SQUARED UP FOR THE END OF THE YEAR AND MOVING INTO 2026.
ANOTHER EVENT WE HAD OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WAS THE BROKER BREAKFAST. WE HAD 41 COMMERCIAL BROKERS ATTENDING. I REALLY WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALAN THORPE YOU SAW GIVE THE
PRESENTATION ABOUT OUR LARGE EMPLOYERS. A LOT OF THOSE CONNECTIONS WERE HERS SO VERY WELL ATTENDED EVENT. COMMISSIONER LYONS WAS THERE AS WELL. YOUR PEOPLE AND SO WE HAD SOME GOOD CONVERSATION THERE AND
ACTUALLY SOMETHING WE LEARNED IS THAT NEXT YEAR WHEN WE DO THIS EVENT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME B AND I ONE ON ONE BUILDING AND INSPECTIONS. WE REALIZED THAT OUR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY JUST HAS A LOT TO
LEARN ABOUT PULLING PERMITS AND CHANGE OF USE AND JUST SOME SOME REAL BASIC QUESTIONS THAT NEEDED TO BE ANSWERED. SO WE'LL BE TAKING THAT ON NEXT YEAR. AND WE ALSO HAD THE
BLOOMINGTON ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP MEETING IN DECEMBER. THE MAYOR MENTIONED THE WHY BLOOMINGTON EXERCISE THAT WE DID TWO MEETINGS AGO THIS PAST MEETING WE TOOK A STAB AT
MAPPING THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ECOSYSTEM HERE WHICH IS VERY COMPLICATED. WE HAD REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE STATE, FROM THE COUNTY, FROM NORMANDALE AND FROM A
PRIVATE EMPLOYER AND THAT DOES A PRETTY INNOVATIVE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM AND WE ARE TAKING ON THE EXERCISE TOGETHER OF TRYING TO MAP EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM THAT THERE IS AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE
IN BLOOMINGTON. IT BECAME CLEAR IN THE COURSE OF THE EXERCISE THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TWO SEPARATE MAPS ONE THAT IS AIMED AT JOB SEEKERS AND ONE THAT IS AIMED AT EMPLOYERS.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT UNTIL WE HAVE OUR NEXT MEETING IN THE SPRING TIME IF THAT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED, IT IS A BIG PROJECT.
IT IS BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT SO WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY WELCOME INVOLVEMENT IN THAT BUT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY PARTICULARLY ON THAT PROJECT AND NORM AND DALE WE FIND THEM BOTH TO BE
VERY INFORMED PARTNERS. WE HAD THE CEO ROUNDTABLE WHICH WE MENTIONED AND THEN YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A COUPLE UPCOMING MEETINGS IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.
I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE TRAVELING SO I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT AND NOTE THAT OPEN MEETING LAWS HAVE CHANGED SO IF YOU ARE OFF SITE YOU CAN STILL PARTICIPATE REMOTELY.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN A PUBLIC SPACE. YOU CAN BE IN YOUR HOME. YOU JUST NEED YEAH, YOU NEED TO LET MARGARET KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WHAT THE PLAN IS SO WE CAN NOTE THAT IN THE AGENDA.
I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. COMMISSIONER LYONS IT IS A LEGAL QUESTION AND WE DO NOT HAVE A CITY ATTORNEY WITH US THIS EVENING. BUT IF YOU'RE TRULY INTERESTED
I CAN FIND OUT HOW IT CHANGED. IT'S NOT OUT ON A PERSONAL NOTE. I'M VERY HAPPY THAT IS BECAUSE WE'LL BE IN FLORIDA FOR THE MONTH AND IT USED TO BE THAT THERE WAS REALLY ONLY ONE
PLACE THAT WAS EVEN SOMEWHAT CONVENIENT FOR ME TO GO TO WHICH WAS A LIBRARY BUT IT CLOSED YOU KNOW, AT A CERTAIN HOUR AND SO WE'VE HAD MEETINGS AND STUFF AND THEN THEN WHAT YOU HAD TO DO IS GO THROUGH
THE RIGAMAROLE OF RESERVING A ROOM WHICH WAS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. SO ON THAT I VERY MUCH LIKE YOUR CHANGE. WELL I, I THINK IT'S HELPFUL TO ALL I KNOW IT WAS
CHALLENGING TO GET CONSISTENT INTERNET IN LIBRARIES. ALL RIGHT. A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT ARE COMING UP ON THOSE MEETING AGENDAS JUST FOR YOUR AWARENESS. JAN WE DO ALL OF OUR PROCEDURAL ITEMS AND THEN WE ALSO DO APPOINTMENT
OF OFFICERS I MENTIONED IN THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW BOARD MEMBER THIS YEAR SO IF THAT'S OF INTEREST TO ANYONE IF THEY'D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE OFFICERS ROLES YOU COULD SPEAK TO OUR PORT PRESIDENT ABOUT THEM.
WE WILL ALSO LIKELY BE SEEING THE WATER PARK IN A JANUARY FEBRUARY SEQUENCE. WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE MALL TO GET THAT SCHEDULED AND WE DO EXPECT TO ACTUALLY SEE SOUTHTOWN COMING IN FOR AT
LEAST SOME PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION SOON. I KNOW IT'S BEEN A FEW MONTHS SINCE WE'VE HAD THAT AND THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER PROJECTS IN 2026 AS WELL. SO VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD
TO SEEING SOME PROJECTS COMING UP. IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGING DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT IN 2025. WE ARE ALSO ON ARE ANOTHER SEGMENT OF WHAT WE DO RECRUITING OUR BLOOM AND
BLOOMINGTON INTERNSHIP LOCATIONS. SO IF THEIR BUSINESSES THAT YOU KNOW OF THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HOSTING AN INTERN PLEASE LET ME OR WORSE I KNOW YOU MAY REMEMBER WE HAD
OVER 100 APPLICANTS FOR INTERNSHIPS LAST YEAR BUT WE ONLY HAD 29 LOCATIONS. SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING VERY HARD TO EXPAND THE POSSIBILITIES THERE AND THEN THE CREATIVE PLACEMAKING COMMISSION IS RECRUITING
COMMISSIONERS. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE INTEREST IN ART, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHECK OUT OR TRY SOMETHING NEW OR IF YOU KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO THAT IS ONE OF THE COMMISSIONS
WHERE I THINK YOU ACTUALLY CAN LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON IF YOU DO HAVE A REASON TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT COMMISSION AND AN AFFINITY FOR ART. SO WE WELCOME THAT AS WELL. ALEJANDRO CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.
I'LL PUT IT IN THE PORT WEEKLY AS WELL AND THAT CONCLUDES MY UPDATE FOR TODAY. OKAY. WELL I WAS TALKING WITH HOLLY AND WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE
PAST WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME MASSIVE DOCUMENTS AND STUFF COMING TO US ON THE WATERPARK THING. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'LL BE BUT 2 OR 300 PAGES AND HISTORICALLY WHAT WE'VE DONE WHEN WE'VE HAD ONE OF THESE MAJOR THINGS AND OBVIOUSLY
IT'S IT'S YOU HAVE IT PRESENTED AT ONE MEETING AND THEN YOU DON'T VOTE UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING AND THEN ALSO WE'VE HISTORICALLY MADE AVAILABLE OUR LEGAL COUNSEL IF
PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE'LL TRY TO FOLLOW AGAIN AND MAKE AVAILABLE. I MEAN AGAIN THIS WE'VE HAD A TERM SHEET OUT THERE FOR A
LONG TIME AND TERM SHEETS ARE IMPORTANT BUT BUT WHEN YOU GET THE AGREEMENTS AND STUFF WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, YOU DO HAVE RESOURCES TO LOOK THROUGH IT AND AND GO AT
IT AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I WOULD DO IS THIS IS THE END OF THE YEAR AND WE WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW
YEAR AND WE HOPE THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN HAVE A NICE TIME GETTING TOGETHER AND DOING THINGS AND SO AT ANY RATE, LET'S WE'LL LOOK FORWARD
TO THE NEW YEAR AND I THINK ANYTHING ELSE OTHERWISE WHAT'S THE PROJECTED TIMING ON THE MALL THING? OH, THE DATE.
YEP. COMMISSIONER LYONS WE DON'T HAVE A DATE SET BUT I EXPECT IN LATE JANUARY FOR THE FIRST ONE AND SOME TIME IN FEBRUARY FOR THE SECOND MEETING. BUT IT DEPENDS ON A LOT
OF FACTORS AND WE'VE SHIFTED IT MULTIPLE TIMES SO I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY PROMISES. OKAY WELL NOTHING ELSE I MENTIONED ONCE WE'RE HIS HONOR I MAY BE WRONG IN THIS BUT
DIDN'T MAYOR WINSTON KEEP A LITTLE BOTTLE A LITTLE MINI BOTTLE OF FIREBALL IN HIS POCKET AND LET CONFLAGRATION? I CAN NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY
. ALL RIGHT WITH THAT COMMENT WE ARE ADJOURNED
