City Council Minutes <br />October 12, 1994 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />f° -" <br />.~~ <br />Motion by Councilmember Gehrz to approve Falcon Heights being <br />MCAD's sponsor city and fiscal agent for two years effective <br />January 1, 1995. Motion passed unanimously. The council also <br />expressed interest in hearing more about MCAD from the group's <br />staff consultant, Connie Lanners Bernardy. <br />REPORT ON THE RAMSEY COUNTY CHARTER COMMISSION <br />Greg Stende, a member of the Ramsey County Charter Commission, was <br />in attendance to inform the council of two proposed charter <br />amendments that will appear on the November ballot. The first <br />involves a "No Net Loss of Parks and Open Space" and the second <br />addresses the appointment versus the election of a new County <br />Sheriff when the old one is unable to complete a term. Mr. Stende <br />asked all in attendance to publicize the fact that these questions <br />would be on the ballot. If a voter chooses not to vote on a <br />charter question, it has the same effect as a "no" vote. <br />Councilmember Gehrz asked if the land that the city leases from the <br />University would be affected by the proposed "no net loss" change. <br />Mr. Stende replied that it would not, as the charter covers only <br />county owned park and open space. <br />CITY INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Councilmember Hustad reported that the Parks Commission had met <br />recently regarding the proposed indoor playground. Plans are <br />tentative as of yet, but the commission is hoping for a January <br />opening. <br />Councilmember Gehrz reminded the council and the viewing audience <br />about the upcoming "Turn Off the Violence" event. <br />Administrator Hoyt updated the council on the following: recent <br />park improvements, scheduled street sweeping (last week of October) <br />and the award received for work done on the National Night Out <br />event. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. A workshop with St. Anthony <br />Police Chief Engstrom followed the council meeting. The workshop <br />ended at 9:15 p.m. <br />~~r~ _ ~ <br />Tom Baldwin, Mayor ~- <br />Carla Asleson <br />Recording Secretary <br />
