Corrections to the Minutes <br />The architects were not advocates for us as far as the landscaping <br />problem, but were fine otherwise. Also Sam added that there is to be a <br />"non-motorized" path on the Falcon Heights side of Hamline Ave. when it is <br />redone this summer. Also, Cleveland is set to be redone the summer of '92. <br />2. Announcements <br />Jan Wiesner has resigned as City Administrator to take a position <br />with the state as Asst. Commissioner of Employee Relations. Sue Hoyt will <br />serve as Interim City Administrator for an open-ended term.

Community Park Building <br />Carol reviewed the money situation with the contractor. 57,500 has <br />been held until the landscaping problems are solved. If they are not taken <br />care of by the first week of June, the city will terminate the contract and <br />get it done themselves. This date is determined by the last possible seeding <br />date.

The RFP's would be due <br />March 21 or 22, so that we could have reviewed them by the time we met <br />with Scott. April 8 Scott would submit final plans for the site and would <br />write specs. In about 1 month it would go to the city council and go out to <br />bid. May 30 would be the bid opening. <br />We have 550,000 budgeted for the building and Buetow wants a <br />minimum of 513,500 to do the building. This is exorbitantly high.

We need some to sign off on the plans and the <br />
