MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AUGUST 14, 1991 <br />citizens of Little Canada to avail themselves of the <br />services. <br />Scalze pointed out that in reviewing the financial <br />information submitted, it appears that Little Canada's <br />ratio of number of cases for 1990 in relation to the <br />City's contribution and population is less than that of <br />other cities. Scalze questioned a larger contribution <br />for 1992 when case levels are falling below the norm. <br />Andrews agreed that Little Canada residents are not <br />using Northwest's services as much as some other <br />cities, and suqgested that perhaps a mailing to <br />citizens informing them of the services available is <br />what is needed. Andrews pointed out that the Joint <br />Powers Agreement between the cities set up funding <br />levels based on population rather than use of services. <br />Scalze pointed out the difficult budget situation and <br />stated that in most areas the City is looking to cut <br />rather than increase spending. <br />Andrews stated that she understood the financial <br />situation and that is why the increase was spread out <br />over a two-year period. <br />Blesener suggested that information on Northwest Youth <br />and Family Services be included in the City's next <br />newsletter. Blesener expressed concern with revenue <br />surpluses that Northwest has on hand, and suggested <br />that it might be wise to assist the cities and dip into <br />these fund balances. Blesener noted that any increase <br />will be very difficult for the City to do at this time. <br />Andrews encouraged Little Canada to appoint either a <br />Council Member, staff inember, or citizen-at-large as <br />the City's representative to the Board of Director's of <br />Northwest Youth and Family Services. <br />APPLICATION Kim Howard, President of the National Association of <br />FOR LAWFUL Temporary Services of MN, appeared before the Council <br />GAMBLING requesting approval of an Application for Exemption <br />LICENSE from Lawful Gambling License so that her organization <br />NATIONAL can hold a gold plate dinner at the Venetian Inn on <br />ASSOC.
