1 1 1 COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 14, 1994 programs are not completed and Mr. Asleson requested authority to hire a replacement for Ms. Dvorak to keep the momentum going and use the remaining funds to pay the salary. Mr. Asleson also noted that many communities are joining together in a consortium to plan and implement the programs mandated by ADA. He explained that several entities have expressed interest in joining with Lino Lakes to prepare and implement a program for the area. Mr. Schumacher asked if it would be possible to get a preliminary commitment from the other entities before committing additional resources toward the project. He suggested that Mr. Asleson ask these entities to adopt a resolution saying that they are willing to look into a program. Council Member Elliott explained that dollars do remain from the previous grant period. Mr. Asleson is asking that a person be hired to step in and continue what has been started. Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Asleson if he was suggesting that a joint employee be hired at this time. Mr. Asleson said yes and noted that this person could be the coordinator in getting the consortium off the ground. This person could develop a resolution to be adopted by all the agencies that wanted to participate. Mr. Schumacher explained that the City Council did not have to worry about losing the funds already designated for this project and said he felt he would be more interested in how many other agencies are willing to adopt a resolution of participation. Mr. Asleson was asked to bring a resolution to the regular Council meeting on December 19, 1994. He was also asked to find out if this joint venture would impact the City's insurance. It was also suggested to contact the City of Shoreview and find out how they have proceeded regarding the ADA mandates.
