MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCH 27, 2019 2020 CENSUS The Parks & Rec/Community Services Manager stated that the 2020 PARTNERSHIP Census is in one year on April 1, 2020, and the City of Little Canada is RESOLUTION committed to making sure everyone in Little Canada is counted. He explained that the main goal of committing to the Census is to increase response to the Census by organizing residents to commit to participating in it, and staff has taken an active role in participating in multiple trainings and taking advantage of educational opportunities. He noted that the City is partnering with the Ramsey County -St. Paul Complete Count Committee. He explained that the Federal Government gives states money based on each person that is counted, so it is very important for everyone to participate in the census and be counted. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2019-3-43 —ADOPTING THE RESOLUTION FOR 2020 CENSUS PARTNERSHIP The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Keis. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. CTV PRODUCTION The Parks & Rec/Community Services Manager reported that at the March TOPICS t3th Council Workshop, CTV Executive Director Dana Healy discussed what original content the City Council would like CTV to produce. He explained that according to our contract, CTV will produce a minimum of two productions per year related to Little Canada which will be cable casted, webcasted, and archived for city use. He noted that this program replaces the 100 hour allotment that each member community received in prior years. He stated that staff is looking for the Council to select the two events that they want CTV to produce in 2019 so they can start scheduling. Keis clarified that we could still have CTV do additional productions for a fee. Torkelson suggested that maybe the more complex outdoor productions should be our Neighborhood Network events, such as the community build at Spooner Park. Montour stated that his first choice is the community build. He recommends that we should put a cable program budget together to find out how much each event listed would cost. He noted we could also reach out for sponsors to pay for events. The Parks & Rec/Community Services Manager stated that in the past our productions have resulted in about a half hour show, but going forward we could do much shorter, such as five minute, videos. Torkelson stated his choices would be the community build and the ice cream social. 5
