1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL WORK SESSION JANUARY 18, 1995 <br />SET DATE FOR CAPITAL BUILDINGS COMMITTEE MEETING <br />Council Member Bergeson explained that the committee is waiting <br />for additional information from Mr. Wessel concerning the "town <br />center" proposal and from Mr. Schumacher regarding funding such a <br />project. A tentative meeting was set for Saturday, February 18, <br />1995, 9:00 A.M. to noon. <br />CENTENNIAL SCHOOLS BUILDINGS TASK FORCE <br />Council Member Bergeson, a member of the task force explained <br />that many meetings have been held and it is clear that the <br />current buildings will not hold the current student population. <br />The bottom line is that the school district will have to build <br />something. The options are many and varied and will be narrowed <br />down to about two (2) or three (3). After the options have been <br />narrowed, the school district will take the matter to the public <br />through informational meetings and parent/teacher meetings. A <br />consultant has been hired to help the district determine the best <br />possible solution to this problem. <br />Mayor Reinert noted that the school district seems to be putting <br />blame for the situation on Lino Lakes. He suggested that the <br />City and Centennial School District work jointly with the City on <br />these matters. <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PUBLIC HEARING <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that Lino Lakes will receive $38,000.00 <br />in funding this year. He explained the funds must be used to <br />benefit low and moderate income residents. It can also be used <br />to fund accessibility issue in the City, however since this is <br />federal money, many requirements have to be met. Organizations <br />requesting a portion of the funding will appear at the Council <br />meeting on Monday and explain their request. The City Council <br />will close the public hearing and take the requests under <br />advisement and act on them at a future meeting. <br />Mr. Schumacher explained since the dollar amount of the fund is <br />low, the City Council could look at funding a portion of the <br />requests this year and the balance of the requests next year. <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:30 P.M. <br />These minutes were consider, corrected and approved at a regular <br />meeting of the City Council on February 13, 1995. <br />PAGE 9 <br />
