CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION April 2, 2018 <br />APPROVED <br />46 inclusion of the Green Step program in the list of proposed goals and concerns that it not <br />47 on his agenda. With all the development considerations, he'd like to see the board <br />48 focusing on the environmental impact and recommendations regarding those situations. <br />49 <br />50 Council Member Rafferty asked why the goals have to be a resolution; other advisory <br />51 boards don't have goals approved by resolution. Mr. Asleson remarked on the history of <br />52 that process. <br />53 <br />54 Staff will continue discussion with the Board and return to the council on the matter. <br />55 <br />56 Council Member Stoesz added that the social media goal should include notation that the <br />57 media will be through city staff only. He also noted that there is a City social media <br />58 policy forthcoming that could impact that as well. <br />59 <br />60 Mayor Reinert added that the council has previously directed staff to put together an <br />61 overall environmental assessment (inventory) so that staff s work and knowledge is put to <br />62 writing for the future. <br />63 <br />64 z, Consideration of 2018 Anoka r,.,,,,.-., n,,,.yeling Agreement-s <br />65 <br />66 4. Safe Ride Home Program — Director Swenson reviewed his report proposing <br />67 that the City participate in a program that provides a ride home to impaired individuals <br />68 requesting the service. This would be a part of the Public Safety Department's efforts to <br />69 reduce the number of impaired drivers on the community roads. He reviewed the <br />7o experience and expertise of the firm that would provide the services, Drink & Drive <br />71 Intelligently. If the City does participate, drinking establishments in the city would be <br />72 informed. Staff also proposes that a coupon be made available that would reduce the fare <br />73 by $10 and that cost be funded through the forfeiture budget. The idea of instituting this <br />74 came out of looking at what's done successfully already to curb impaired driving and <br />75 thinking about what more could be done. <br />76 <br />77 No official approval of the council is required but staff is looking for feedback. <br />78 <br />79 The mayor noted his support for the idea. <br />80 <br />81 Council Member Stoesz asked how much money is in the forfeiture fund. Director <br />82 Swenson said about $47,000 currently but there is a lot of in and out. Council Member <br />83 Stoesz said he'd like any coupon to state clearly that no general fund money is used for <br />84 the services. <br />85 <br />86 Council Member Manthey asked if the on -sale businesses in the city have had input and <br />87 Director Swenson said no. <br />88 <br />89 Council Member Rafferty asked for more information on liability and if there is a <br />90 company website. <br />2 <br />
