COUNCIL WORK SESSION JANUARY 22, 1997 <br />The Economic Development Authority Advisory Board appointments were discussed. <br />The two (2) members whose terms have expired are seeking reappointment. Both persons <br />have been on the Board for less than one year. Staff suggested that it would be <br />inappropriate to dismiss them now. <br />Council directed Mr. Wessel to prepare a recommendation for term lengths for this Board <br />and make a recommendation for the two (2) terms that have expired. <br />Mr. Tesch noted that the North Central Suburban Cable Communications Commission is <br />requesting the appointment of a Council member to the Commission. <br />Mayor Landers suggested that Council appoint liaisons to all staff. Staff recommended <br />that Council Member Bergeson continue as the liaison to the Economic Development <br />Authority Advisory Board. <br />Discussion regarding the method of selecting candidates for all C <br />commissions followed. Council Member Bergeson suggeste <br />written basic information about themselves. <br />Mr. Tesch will prepare a draft recommendation. s o• f b'o • and committee <br />members and bring it to the next work sessi <br />CHARLES PROKOP, DEER P <br />Mr. Prokop previously ap ��� they ' cil and asked the Council to consider <br />providing his area of t �� r�� fre� ite Bear Press newspapers. He explained that <br />since children in tt the White Bear area schools and residents shop in the <br />White Bear area, ='deny<s more with White Bear rather than Lino Lakes. Mr. <br />Prokop fel inc e Quad Press is delivered free to residents in Lino Lakes, the <br />Council sh ee White Bear Press newspapers to his area. <br />Council Me r Lyden explained that he had discussed this concern with Press <br />Publications. He was told that they had looked at this issue and had made a business <br />decision to continue the format now used for the distribution of the Quad Press. Also, <br />they were not willing to make any changes in the distribution of the White Bear Press. <br />This matter was discussed further. It was noted that if the Council provided free White <br />Bear Press newspapers to Mr. Prokop's area instead of the Quad Press, this area would <br />not be aware of the legal notices that are printed in the Quad Press. Staff added that the <br />City already has an identity problem and dividing newspaper coverage would add to that <br />problem. <br />After further discussion it was determined to research the possibility of Mr. Prokop's area <br />receiving both the Quad Press and the White Bear Press. Either Mr. Tesch or Mr. <br />Schumacher will talk with Mr. Prokop about this matter. <br />PAGE 6 <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
