class this next session will be held at the Falcon Heights United Church of <br />Christ instead of at City Hall. City Hall staff feels that the area where Yoga is <br />held should not be scheduled consistently in the evenings so Yoga had to find • <br />an alternate location. Falcon Heights United Church of Christ has been kind <br />enough to let us use one of their classrooms free of charge. We will continue <br />to look at other locations for future evening Yoga classes. <br />Coming up- Anderson reported that the Babysitters Training class coming up <br />in mid April has 10 participants so will be held as scheduled. The Treasures of <br />Falcon Heights event is coming up Saturday, May 13t". This event was created <br />by Laura Kwong a member of the Neighborhood Commission, who thought it <br />would be a great event for people to get out and visit historical or neat sites <br />around Falcon Heights. Anderson also handed out invitations to <br />Commissioners for two Walkable Community Workshops that will be held mid <br />May in Roseville and Lauderdale. These workshops will cover studies done on <br />how walkable communities are and what barriers or limitations the city may <br />have of becoming walkable and how they can improve their city. Hoag <br />encouraged Commissioners to attend one of these two workshops, as Falcon <br />Heights is one of the cities hoping to become a walkable community. <br />Hoag reported to the group that Heather Worthington, our current City <br />Administrator would be leaving to become the Assistant City Manager for the <br />City of Edina starting mid May. Hoag would serve as the interim Administrator <br />until a new one is chosen. Hoag then explained the process the City would <br />take in hiring a new person. The applicants would be narrowed down to 6 or 7 • <br />candidates. They would then spend two days participating in panel interviews. <br />The panel would be made up of Commissioners from all city groups as well as <br />the Mayor and City Council members. It would then be narrowed down to 2-3 <br />candidates who would then be interviewed by the City Council Hoag reported <br />that they hope to make an offer and hire someone by the third week of May. <br />5. Review of the Friends of the Park Fund. <br />Anderson passed out background information on the Friends of the Park Fund <br />for the group to see how it has been handled in the past. Ozasky noted that <br />the senior population or Retirement society would be a good target group. <br />They might be more interested in putting money into the neighborhood they <br />live in. Mielke pointed out that on the previous registration form there was a <br />box giving people the option of donating as the same time of registering for <br />classes. Anderson made note of this and discussed putting it back on the <br />registration form as well as creating a place on our new website where people <br />can donate to the fund. Long suggested the brochure also is updated. Long <br />and Green volunteered to work on a new brochure with current information. <br />Anderson will be gathering information or ideas for the updated version of the <br />brochure. Mielke suggested we give the public options on what they can <br />donate to, making the donation more project specific. Green agreed and <br />suggested we include boxes on the form they would check off where they <br />wanted their money to go to, such as scholarships, trees, benches, picnic • <br />tables etc. By doing this many Commissioner's agreed people might be more <br />willing to donate if they have options on where their money is going.
