INFORMATION/ ANNOUNCEMENTS: Council Member Mercer -Ta, • The students from Australia visited City Hall, and they were able to see the solar panel system and learn about sustainability. They were able to see the advancements in policy that aren't necessarily visible at an international level. They also think that we could take a few pointers from them about water conservation. Council Member Brown Thunder: • Ice Cream Social is happening tomorrow. NYFS cancelled their board meeting for this month. Mayor Lindstrom: • Mayor Lindstrom was in attendance at a community meeting last night at 1666 Coffman. Representative Alice Hausman, two University of Minnesota representatives, and a representative from the golf course players were present. There was conversation about the future of the golf course and the location of the track and field facility. The driving range is no longer on the table for the track and field facility location. There was also a commitment that the track and field facility will not be located on any of the open fields in Falcon Heights. The remaining considerations are to combine it with the current soccer stadium, to place it north of the soccer stadium at holes 10 and 11, or to potentially have it remain on the east bank. Due to the concerns this would present, Mayor Lindstrom sent a letter to President Kaler. The letter also requested that a forum be held by the University of Minnesota at Falcon Heights City Hall prior to the September board regions meeting. • Mayor Lindstrom and City Administrator Sack Thongvanh will be attending a meeting with the Campus Community Advisory Task Force tomorrow.
