STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />VOTE REQUIRED: <br />AGENDA ITEM 4A <br />Linda Waite Smith, City Administrator <br />December 16, 2002 <br />Consider Resolution 02 -182 Designating Volunteer <br />Coordinator for Lino Lakes History Project <br />3/5 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Lino Lakes City Council has wanted to collect and organize information about the <br />City's history before documentation is lost and memories of long -time residents can no <br />longer be captured. The City requested assistance from the community and one of the <br />respondents was Ms. Betsy Friesen. Ms. Friesen is a twenty -one year resident of Lino <br />Lakes. She is also a librarian and historian. <br />Because of her interest and qualifications, staff is recommending the City Council <br />designate Ms. Friesen, through Resolution 01 -182, Volunteer Coordinator of the Lino <br />Lakes History Project. <br />We anticipate that Ms. Friesen will assess the documentation the City has in its <br />possession, then develop a plan for systematically gathering additional information and <br />organizing it. That information will include maps, newspaper articles, historical <br />documents, photographs and oral histories. The City will provide periodic work space, <br />staff assistance, storage space and supplies out of the current operating budget. <br />This project will be ongoing and the City will continue to encourage residents to <br />participate in the project or contribute information to it. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Adopt Resolution 02 -182 Designating Ms. Betsy Friesen the Volunteer <br />Coordinator of the Lino Lakes History Project. <br />2. Decline to Adopt Resolution 02 -182. <br />3. Return to staff for further review and/or action. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />1. Option #1 <br />
