With the Economic Development Advisory <br />Committee (EDAC) however the council was not consistent in that there were four <br />applicants for three seats. To be consistent, the council decided to hold off on the EDAC <br />appointments until interviews were concluded. An interview session was scheduled at <br />the beginning of the upcoming council work session (5:30 p.m. on February 2, 2009). <br />Staff should schedule those interviews. <br />Item 6A — 2009 Environmental Board Goals — Environmental Coordinator Asleson <br />introduced Board Vice Chair Barbara Bor. Ms. Bor reviewed the proposed 2009 goals <br />(included in entirety in Resolution No. 09 -06) and provided the council some written <br />information relative to conservation workshops. <br />JOHN DEHAVEN, 612 BIRCH STREET, PROPERTY SUBDIVSION <br />Mr. DeHaven has been working with the city on a subdivision of his property and has <br />concern about the escrow process and the charges against his escrow account He <br />suggests that the $1,000 up front escrow charge for this type of a project is too high for <br />the average citizen. Further the charges against that escrow by (former) city attorney <br />Scott Baumgartner are exorbitant for the work performed. He also believes that the staff <br />charges are too high and Anoka County reported to him that the city didn't even need to <br />be involved in this process. Mr. DeHaven requested that the council look over the <br />charges and see if they can be reduced. <br />
