6.0. SR 09-08-2003MEI IORANDUM
Item# 6
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Pat Klaers, City Administrator
DATE:
September 8, 2003
SUBJECT: Pat Summerall Productions
Attached for your information is a fax which I received from Jean Lewis from Pat Summerall
Productions regarding an opportunity to be selected for a city management award. This
"opportunity" comes with a price tag. In my conversation with Ms. Lewis I understand that the cost
for the city is about 1/4 of the total cost of the production. This may be a very good opportunity to
advertise the city to businesses and industries.
Ms. Lewis indicated that she was going to speak to the Mayor and accordingly, Mayor Kfl_inzing may
have an update on this issue for the City Council.
In my conversation with Ms. Lewis, it was indicated that the city is one of the municipalities under
consideration in Minnesota and that, in effect, we are in competition with a few other communities
for being selected for this award. A questionnaire is planned to be sent to me in the near future to be
filled out for further evaluation of our community. (This assumes that we are still interested and are
willing to pay our share of the production costs.) As I understand this program, it is new and that
Minnesota is one of the first states selected for this program and that they (Pat Summerall
Productions) intend to go state by state throughout the country with this civic recognition program.
Everything about this opportunity sounds wonderful with the exception of the price tag. Attached is
some Pat Summerall website information.

Mr. Pat Klaers
City of Elk River
Dear Pa~:
Today, much public recognition of city management is negative in nature, while many cities wir. h
su'perier management, r~:eive no recognkion at all.
Pat Smnmerall's '`Best Managed Small Cities in America" recognizes okies that are providing
services of excellence to their communities. Cities identified for our consideration will be
evaluated based on poptt[ation, growth, rate, cozrani~nent to economic development, public safet3~,
exemplary schools, visible arts support, reasonable tax assessments, city bond rating and medical
availability. Additionally', a selected "Best Managed Small City in America" will exhibit an
understanding for the cu].ture and history of their city and a vision for its future.
The announcement of the award for each selected city will be aired in a single 2-minute profile on
CNN Headline News Network. Additionally, I will produce a 5-minute residual video for the
city's use, which will also be webcast on Forbes.eom for one twenty-four hour period.
Arrangements can be m~.de to stream the video to the City's website. The listing of our selected
cities will be published i'a Forbes Magazine in 2004.
A city selected for this award will be responsible for:
· Assigning a "point person" to coordinate the 2-day location shoot.
· Working wi'~in our production time line.
· Paying your portion of the production expenses, which is $24,000.
I look forward to speaki~xg with you this week.
