MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTEMBER 9, 1992 <br />persons aged 55 or over. Average age in this type of <br />housing is low 70's. <br />A member of the audience asked about dining room <br />facilities. <br />Lindh replied that each unit will have a kitchen. The <br />common dining room will have seating for 50 with <br />additional tables available so that seating can be <br />expanded to include all occupants. Lindh reported that <br />Presbyterian Homes is in preliminary discussion with <br />the Venetian Inn about occasional delivery of ineals <br />ordered from their menu. However, the building is <br />designed for independent living, with accommodations <br />for less independent living over time as the population <br />ages and needs become heavier. Lindh reported that the <br />dining room will have space for heating meals, but not <br />accommodations for producing meals. <br />Hanson asked if the dining room would be available for <br />events like pot-luck suppers. <br />Lindh replied that it would, and noted that this is the <br />type of community spirit that Presbyterian Homes hopes <br />will happen. <br />A member of the audience asked if the units will have <br />patios or balconies. <br />Lindh replied that they would not. <br />Lindh was asked if there would be a charge for using <br />the dining room. Lindh replied that there would not <br />be, that use of common space is covered in monthly <br />rents. However, if a meal is ordered from the Venetian <br />Inn and served in the dining room, there would be a <br />charge for the meal. <br />There was no one else from the general public wishing <br />to comment on these matters. <br />Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by Collova, the <br />public hearing was closed. <br />Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and <br />moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION N0. 92-9-304 - APPROVING MUNICIPAL HOUSING <br />PROGRAM TO PROVIDE FINANCING FOR A SENIOR HOUSING <br />DEVELOPMENT AND GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO THE <br />ISSUANCE BY THE CITY OF REVENUE BONDS THEREFOR ON <br />BEHALF OF THE PRESBYTERIAN HOMES OF MINNESOTA SUBJECT <br />TO ALL COST SAVINGS REALIZED FROM THE COMBINED BOND <br />ISSUE ACCRUING TO THE LITTLE CANADA PROJECT AND SUBJECT <br />TO PRESBYTERIAN HOMES ENTERING INTO A DEVELOPMENT <br />AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY <br />Page 4 <br />
