February 13, 1984 181 Mr. Nathe - 49 Club - Mr. Schumacher was asked at the last Council meeting to contact Mr. Nathe-z• and ask him to appear before this Council tonight to explain to the Council when he plans to complete the conditions of his Special Use Permit. Mr. Schumacher has not been able to contact MR. Nathe. Mayor Benson suggested that Mr. Schumacher contact Mr. Nathe by letter and inform him that the Council wants him to appear at the next Council meeting. Mr. Marier moved that the Council go forward on this issue and contact Mr. Nathe by letter asking hime to appear at the next Council meeting. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. NEW BUSINESS Arnold Kelling Letter - Mayor Benson noted that Mr. Kelling's letter points out the need for a coordinator when the Senior Center becomes completed. He thought possibly the Council could invite Mr. Kelling to appear before the Council to give the Council some ideas as well as some other people from other Senior Centers so that the Council can make some good judgements in this area. Mr. Bohjanen moved that a letter be written to Mr. Kelling thanking him for the information in his letter. He would also like his name on the newsletter mailing list in Texas. Mr. Kulaszewicz seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. National League of Cities - Congressional City Conference - Mayor Benson asked Mr. Schumacher to research this further and determine what the costs would be. Over the past :! few months the Council has talked about several things including shared services, sewer and water systems, and economic development aid. He wanted to find out if this conference could be a media for some member of the City or City Council to attend this meeting and possibly visit with some of the people in Washington D.C. and let them know that not only do we have some concerns in this City but also visit with the representatives because by doing this we might find some assistance or programs that are available for this particular City. He felt obligated to research this and follow through on what the costs may be and what the results could be. The cost could be between $700.00 and $750.00. This would not be a pleasure trip. It would be a session where they would have to meet with staff members of our senators and congressmen and do some researching of the archives to find out what progransare available. Mr. Marier felt whoever went to this conference should have some in- road to those people to get the proper contact. Mayor Benson said he personally could not make the conference. Mr. Kulaszewicz suggested that some preparation work could be done at home. It would be a good idea to contact the staff of our representatives in St. Paul. Mr. Marier suggested that Mr. Schumacher contact the representatives staff and set up a personal visit with them. MR. Bohjanen said this is the year to make these personal contacts for assistance. Mayor Benson suggested that Mr. Schumacher contact each office and det- ermine when each Senator or Representative will be in this State.
