MINUTES <br />SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />SEPTEMBER. ?, 19$3 <br />PAGE !~ <br />Mayor Warkentien informed Council that he had received a telephone call <br />from Marilyn K erns, Assistant Director of Roseville Community School <br />Services, indicating that by October 1, 19$3 the Early Childhood and <br />Family Education Program and the Extended Day Program would be moved <br />to Falcon Heights School. Ms. Kerns had indicated the City would have <br />use of the building as was originally requested, including the two <br />gyms. Mayor Warkentien stated that he had been informed by City <br />Staff that day care is not a permitted use in an R-1 district which <br />could create a problem. <br />Dennis Linden, School Board Member, was in attendance to listen to <br />concerns of the Council and residents regarding use of the school. <br />Councilmember~s Chestovich and Larson requested information on whether <br />or not the School Board had voted on the decision to move the two <br />programs to the school to which Mr. Linden replied that it was an <br />administrative decision of Jim Klassen, Director of Community School <br />Services, the matter had been mentioned at two School Board meetings <br />but the matter was not voted upon. Councilmember Larson expressed <br />concern that the School Board assumes that since Council approved <br />the use of the building to the DAC it was blanket approval to locate <br />other programs in the school. Councilmember Ciernia felt it is a <br />basic courtesy for the School Administration to inform the City of <br />its intentions for use of the school. Following the discussion, <br />Clerk Administrator Barnes was directed to arrange a meeting with <br />the Roseville School Administration to obtain answers to the questions <br />and concerns such as increased traffic and parking. <br />At 9:00 P.M. Mayor Warkentien opened the Public Hearing on Budget and <br />Revenue Sharing, and presented the Affidavits of Publication and Posting. <br />There being no one wishing to be heard, Councilmember Ciernia moved, <br />seconded by Councilmember Larson, that the revenue sharing funds of <br />approximately $20,000 be applied to the public safety budget for the <br />year 19$t~. Motion carried unanimously. <br />The Public Hearing was closed at 9:0l~ P.M. <br />John Uba.n, Howard Dahlgren Associates, presented an informal preliminary <br />report on the Larpenteur/Snelling development.
