Council directed the City Attorney to review the City's contract with Metro HRA,and the appli- cation for assistance to determine whether or not the City can re- quest citizenship information without a directive from Metro HRA. Mayor Warkentien informed that he had met with Dean Hueg of the University of Minnesota to discuss a possible City Hall site. Dean Hueg indicated that the only land he felt the University could re- liquish would be the area at Coffman and Larpenteur.
