COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 10, 1996 Council Member Neal explained that the administrator of the Country Traveler bus will be at the next senior dinner. She will explained the service to the seniors. Council Member Kuether asked if this matter could be addressed in more detail at the next Council work session. Council Member Neal said that he would like an answer today. Council Member Kuether asked if this matter could wait until after the senior group deals with the matter. Mayor Landers suggested that a bus stop be located at the senior complex on Elm Street. Council Member Neal said that this service is for all Anoka County residents and felt the bus stop should be located at City Hall. Since all residents could use the service, he did not see the need to wait until the senior group discusses the service. Council Member Neal said that he would like Lino Lakes to be the first city to approve a bus stop since Lino Lakes has a reputation of being a city that does something. Council Member Kuether said her only concern is theamount of parking space the bus riders would need. Council Member Neal said that additional parking should constructed onthe pond side of the driveway. He noted that all the parking spaces were used this evening by the seniors who went on a bus trip to a casino and the ballfield users. Council Member Bergeson said that he felt that it is the consensus of the City Council that they approve the concept and asked Mr. Schumacher and Council Member Neal to bring the details of the program to the City Council at a later date. No other action was taken on this matter. Legal Newspaper, Quad Press - Council Member Neal noted that the Quad Press has not sent a reporter to a City Council meeting for some time. This is resulting in very little or no City Council meeting coverage in the Quad Press. He suggested that a letter be sent to the editor requesting that a reporter be at all Council meetings. Mr. Schumacher will write a letter to the editor of the Quad Press. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING, IMPROVEMENT OF 12TH AVENUE/HOLLY DRIVE Mr. Hawkins said that during this evening he met with some of the residents on 12th Avenue/Holly Drive and showed them pictures of the what the fencing will look like. Initially, they felt that the fencing was adequate but after looking at it for awhile they have some concerns about the style of the fence. They will probably want to express their concerns regarding the fencing. Mr. Hawkins said that the agreement with the developer includes the style of fencing shown in the pictures. The developer did come this evening and reconfirmed that this is the style of fence he has agreed to. Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 9:37 P.M. Caroline Dahl, 1101 Holly Court - Ms. Dahl said that she has looked at the pictures of the proposed fence presented by Mr. Hawkins and did not initially see a problem. After PAGE 18
