CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION October 3, 2016 <br />DRAFT <br /> 5 <br />Council Member Maher said she voted no on the preliminary plat because of the number 179 <br />of lots and so the increase will not change her mind. 180 <br /> 181 <br />The council discussed the history of cul-de-sac lengths in the city. Mayor Reinert said he 182 <br />will not support the addition of the lot. The council concurred that they do not support 183 <br />the change to 36 lots. Planner Larsen indicated that she will convey that message to the 184 <br />developer and the Planning and Zoning Board. 185 <br /> 186 <br />3. Council Updates on Boards/Commissions 187 <br /> 188 <br />North Metro Telecommunications Commission – Council Member Maher reported a 189 <br />slight increase in budget (operations increase related to salaries). The City of Oak Grove 190 <br />wants to use North Metro to do on-line meetings and it will cost a minimum of $5,000 191 <br />per year. Neither Comcast nor Century Link showed up for the meeting. The upgrade is 192 <br />alive and well. 193 <br /> 194 <br />4. Monthly Progress Report 195 <br /> 196 <br />Mayor Reinert recalled that the council requested the addition of North Metro Television 197 <br />to this list. Administrator Karlson said he has spoken with North Metro Director Heidi 198 <br />Arnson and other area administrators calling for discussion of making the government 199 <br />channels more relevant. It means a change in how we approach use and could mean some 200 <br />structural changes in what services they apply. He will have information for the progress 201 <br />report based on what comes from that discussion. 202 <br /> 203 <br />Regarding the upgrade of the council chambers and community room, Administrator 204 <br />Karlson said he has brought in an expert and will have additional information on design 205 <br />options based on that preliminary discussion. 206 <br /> 207 <br />5.
