International Falls City Council will see if someone local is interested in creating a promotional video for the web.
An offer had come from CGI Communication to do it free of charge.
Concerns that company would take advertising dollars out of the community to help pay for the project had councillors like Harley Droba looking inward.
“We do have businesses that could offer the service and possibly based off of what they’re going to get on advertising, it would make it worthwhile for a local business or non-profit to do that.”
Mayor Bob Anderson supported the CGI proposal, saying he had seen the video done for the city of Chanhassen and was impressed with the quality.
Council agreed to give it a month to see if someone local is interested before making a final decision.
