PUBLIC INFORMATION SUBCOMMITTEE - 1989 BOND REFERENDUM COMMITTEE
TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1989
PRNR DEPARTMENT OFFICE
The meeting opened with Curt Connaughty acknowledging that our purpose was as
stated in the "1989 Referendum Subcommittees" descriptive paragraph. It's
stated as: "This subcommittee will develop the communication plans, which may
include a slogan, targeted election materials and a fact sheet. This
subcommittee will also work with advertising. A week by week time line
should accompany the plan. Eight members are suggested for this subcommittee.
Connaughty also pointed out that we were here because we all wanted the
referendum to succeed.
Everyone introduced themselves and it was noted that membership was spread
around the City with Eden Prairie residents from 1-35 years. A list of the 17
members is attached.
It was also noted this was to be an organizational meeting and we couldn't
make much progress until after the January 31st Council meeting where the
public input is to he heard. Recognizing the relat'.vely short period to
develop materials for our message, random discussion of members concerns
developed. Following are various points raised as noted concerns of the
general committee:
Brochure:
We'll have to develop two. First is an objective fact sheet that will
attempt to detail the City's circumstances and need to develop recreational
facilities primarily in the face of diminishing open space and increasing
costs.
Second was a "sell" or "vote yes" pamphlet to assist the Get Out The Vote
Committee and to convince voters of the City's need.
Some discussion then followed on various ways to distribute both these items
to Eden Prairie's 15,000 residences and businesses. It was agreed two
subcommittees should be formed individually to develop creative approaches.
with these brochures, deal with their production, distribution and content.
They are named:
