1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />April 19, 1995 <br />Team Building Meeting - Department Heads and Council will be <br />meeting for a Team Building Session on May 16th or 25th. Location <br />- Wargo Nature Center. <br />Blue Heron Development Proposal - Brian Wessel explained that this <br />is a 20,000 square foot building with lease space. There is a <br />problem with the tax increment due to the inflationary base on the <br />Uhde/Nelson property. Uhde/Nelson has agreed to reduce their price <br />to make up for some of the difference. <br />Brimeyer & Associates - City Engineer/Public Works Director Search <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that Brimeyer & Associates will be <br />interviewing staff and Council and developing a profile for the new <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director. Councilmember Kuether asked <br />why we needed a search firm. Mayor Reinert stated that he felt we <br />needed to use this service - they have the expertise. They just <br />completed a search for Minnetonka, Hopkins and St. Louis Park. A <br />committee will be formed to review the final applicants - Committee <br />Members include Randy Schumacher, Darrell Schneider, Don Poss from <br />Blaine and a Public Works Person from Eagan. <br />Agenda - 4/24/95 <br />The Parks Department has requested permission to spend surplus <br />dollars from the parks/recreation programs within the Department <br />for new ball field fences at Rice Lake Elementary. Councilmember <br />Kuether felt the funds should be returned to the general fund. <br />Councilmember Elliot stated that we have a fledging recreation <br />department and agreed with staff that the funds should be used in <br />that department. Marty Asleson stated that we have an agreement <br />with the School District to maintain the fields at Rice Lake and <br />additional fencing is needed. Randy Schumacher stated that we <br />should develop some type of policy for future use in relation to <br />surplus dollars. Councilmember Bergeson stated that we should <br />indicate the reason we are using these dollars as suggested is <br />because of the unsafe condition of the fields and existing fencing. <br />Mayor Reinert indicated this is a matter that should be discussed <br />at budget time. Councilmember Kuether agreed and added that we <br />should note we are approving this for one-time only. <br />Respectfully submitted by: <br />Mary Kay Wyland <br />These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a regular meeting <br />of the Lino Lakes City Council on June 12, 1995. <br />
