OTHER BUSINESS A. City's 50th Anniversary Celebration Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist led the discussion on the City's 50th Anniversary Celebration and reviewed logos submitted by the graphic company. He said they are looking for assistance from the Urban Affairs Advisory Committee to recommend other City departments produce videos related to their departments. He gave examples and suggested videos CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Urban Affairs Advisory Committee Minutes April 24, 2018 Page 2 of 4 of the Central Village area, Kelley Park and Cobblestone Lake over the past 20 years of stories to convey in 11/2 minute videos. Mr. Adamini commented that Parks and Recreation Director Barry Bernstein has a contact who has done some filming in the past. Mr. Vegter asked for clarification why the 11/2 minute length and if it would be by each of the City's departments. Mr. Nordquist answered that he was looking for something that captures the different departments. Mr. Vegter suggested that the videos could be played at community events. Mr. Nordquist added that one of stories could be run during the staff time at the City Council meeting. Chair Schwartz inquired if the videos could be viewed on the City's website. Mr. Nordquist answered yes. He added that the matrix schedule of community events over the 12 months of 2019 has now become a good template and could be shared with the different department heads and ask them to go forward with producing a video. Mr. Adamini suggested that a music and history night could be incorporated into the Music in Kelley Park events. Mr. Mahlum asked if the capacity is there to produce these videos. Ms. Breuer said yes because the other cities can do it. Mr. Vegter suggested that if they are going to be asking for the other department heads to supply a part to this, he would like for the different departments to attend a meeting with the Urban Affairs Committee. Mr. Adamini said there is a very good video capability to be done. Mr. Nordquist asked if there was a video at the Hayes Community Center. Ms. Breuer said we might need to rent one. Mr. Wahlum questioned why the length of 11/2 minutes. Mr. Nordquist answered that from experience 2 minutes is too long because people lose interest in watching and 1 minute is too short so the 11/2 minute length is best for the viewer's limit of attention. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Urban Affairs Advisory Committee Minutes April 24, 2018 Page 3 of 4 MOTION: Adamini moved, seconded by Vegter directing Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist to contact all department heads to create a 11/2 minute video of their department related to an historical City service message by the end of 2018. Ayes - 5 -Nays -0. Discussion followed with theme and logo ideas. Mr. Nordquist would be following up with the graphic companies the suggestions the Committee had. Ms. Breuer suggested having display boards at the other City facilities. Mr. Mahlum agreed that display boards should be portable and displayed in the other buildings because not everybody comes only to the municipal center. Chair Schwartz proposed putting some history in the City newsletter and to assign the task to other departments. Ms. Breuer said everything put out there should be mobile friendly, ipad friendly and web friendly. Mr. Adamini suggested there are buildings that deserve to have their own history such as when Valleywood was purchased, etc. Chair Schwartz added that part of the celebration should be to celebrate the City's growth such as employers, stores, medical facilities as well as the history of Cedar Avenue. Mr. Nordquist said there could be a photo contest. Mr. Vegter added a calendar idea where people could submit photos for a collage. Discussion led to an appeal to the public for photos to be submitted and some could end up not being digital. Photos could be scanned but it could require staff time. Would there need to be a disclaimer clause. Mr. Mahlum said he did not think this fits with what we are doing here related to a photo contest. Mr. Nordquist replied that we would be soliciting historical photos. Chair Schwartz said she likes the idea of collecting photos in groups of decades such at 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s and added one of the major aspects of Apple Valley is the 50 years of growth. Mr. Nordquist said growth has two sides to it. Some people like it and some people complain about it. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Urban Affairs Advisory Committee Minutes April 24, 2018 Page 4 of 4 Chair Schwartz asked how much of the population is senior and if there are a lot of people who have been here 40 years. She added that Apple Valley is a viable place for seniors. Mr. Nordquist shared that Zvago, a senior cooperative, had their ground breaking today. Chair Schwartz added she would like to see a picture of the population from where we come and this is where we are now. Mr. Vegter asked about statistical information. Mr. Nordquist responded that the census data is a marker. He added that the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan comes out in May and he would be happy to share the information. Mr. Mahlum commented that the ethnic character has changed in the City as well and that should be considered. Ideas were shared by the committee to highlight the cemetery and interview past mayors. 6. Adjourn Hearing no further comments from the Urban Affairs Advisory Committee, Chair Schwartz asked for a motion to adjourn. MOTION: Adamini moved, seconded by Mahlum to adjourn the meeting at 7:52 p.m. Ayes - 5 -Nays-0.

SUMMARY: At each meeting during 2018, the Committee has offered additions and recommended adjustments to the 2019 - 50th year planning spreadsheet. If satisfied, this information would be forwarded to the City Council and departments to be used as the outline for our 50th year celebration. Are we ready to distribute? At the last meeting, a variety of logos were presented and discussed. The outcome was a preferred direction, hand drawn on a flip chart, that had certain features. A staff prepared rendering is attached here in a black and white representation. Color is an additional consideration. Come with your ideas. The plan is to share a logo with the City Council and departments for additional feedback and to arrange for GR Promotions (a local Chamber member) to use the logo as a guide to prepare a graphic artist representation for a pin and our 2019 stationary. From time to time, our discussions to date have sought an event at Kelley Park to celebrate our 50th year. Park planning has been contracted and the Rotary Club of Apple Valley is contributing to a clock monument in Kelley Park. Park improvements and the unveiling of this clock in 2019 could coincide as an objective. An image will be shared at the meeting.

June 26, 2018 Other Business Description: Receive Information and Discuss Planning for the 2020 Census Staff Contact: Alex Sharpe, Planner and Economic Development Spec. Department / Division: Community Development Department ACTION REQUESTED: Receive information and discuss planning for the 2020 Census. SUMMARY: The 2020 Census is underway and cities across the County have been tasked with assisting the Census Bureau to ensure that all persons are counted. Staff has met with the Regional Census Director to learn about the best practices for establishing a "Complete Count Committee". The Census is an important tool for the City that becomes the basis for funding and policy decisions. The Census Bureau has found that involving local partners is essential to ensure that the process is successful. The "Complete Count Committee" is the leader of local involvement with the goal of achieving high participation rates and reaching lower responding census tracts. On Census day in 2010, Apple Valley had the 16th best participation rate in the Country. The Census Bureau has tasked all cities to create a "Complete Count Committee" that facilitates encouraging Census participation. When directed to do so, the Urban Affairs Advisory Committee will host representatives from organizations such as faith based organizations, businesses, housing groups, the Chamber of Commerce, and educational institutions. Each of these groups will be asked to offer ways they can assist the Committee to best reach their constituent members. BACKGROUND: Census Day is April 1, 2020. In early 2019 "Complete Count Committees" will be actively working to encourage response within their community. By establishing the Committee at this time, and providing the background information, the City of Apple Valley will be ready to assist with outreach within the Community. Findings and recommendations from the Urban Affairs Advisory Committee will be presented to the City Council. The background presentation from the Census Bureau is attached to this report.
