The council discussed the desirability of asking the Lions for <br />a contribution to this structure and decided that it would be more appropriate to <br />involve the Lions in the plans for improvements to Community Park in 2000 <br />because the Lions use Community Park, the Park has greater visibility and the <br />Lions could be involved early in the planning process. In addition, the Larpenteur <br />streetscape project is funded by tax increment funds that cannot be used for <br />other general operating or capital improvements in the city whereas the <br />Community Park project relies on these capital funds. Councilmember Jacobs <br />• moved to accept the proposal from Barton Aschman. The motion passed <br />unanimously. <br />Consideration of city letterhead <br />Mayor Gehrz explained that the city letterhead needed correcting to reflect that <br />the University of Minnesota Saint Paul Campus is in Falcon Heights, not the <br />Institute of Agriculture. She also suggested that the letterhead be changed from <br />blue to a deep green to be consistent with other city symbols. Councilmembers <br />liked the idea of a change and asked the administrator to contact Mr. Osterberg, <br />a Falcon Heights resident who has done some graphic design work for the city, <br />to see if he had ideas about how to make a creative letterhead. <br />Consideration of televising the planning commission meetings. <br />Mayor Gehrz explained that she thought it would be good to televise the planning <br />commission meetings. Councilmember Kuettel moved that the meetings be <br />televised. The motion passed unanimously. <br />Presentation of a staffing plan and compensation. <br />Administrator Hoyt presented a new organizational chart, job descriptions and <br />• compensation plan for employees. She explained that the departure of the <br />administrative assistant/planner and the director of parks, recreation and public <br />
