1. Review Regular Council Agenda of April 22, 2013 -
Item 1E, Resolution 13 -46 Terminating Lease Agreement with Veritas Academy -
Council Member Stoesz asked if the Academy could possibly be housed in the Senior
Center building instead. Community Development Director Grochala noted that staff
will provide assistance to Veritas if that is needed.
Item 1A, City Expenditures - Council Member Rafferty said that the city expenditures
list includes rent payments to the school district and he wonders if the activity could be
moved to the city hall complex. Mr. Grochala responded that in some cases, gym use or
other specific needs are involved; he is aware that Public Services Director DeGardner is
interested in converting city space for other uses.
Item 6C, Resolution No. 13 -44, Amendments to Municipal State Aid Designated
Streets - City Engineer Wedel explained that the State is amending some of the rules that
relate to designation of MSA streets based on traffic volume on the roadways. Staff has
developed recommendations that will maximize the state MSA funding allocated to the
city.
Not on printed agenda - Mayor Reinert noted that the council received a letter that was
forwarded from the Charter Commission Chair. That letter includes misinformation; in
the future staff will hold communications from the Commission until they can be
reviewed by the council at a meeting.
Council Member Roeser asked for an update on the outdoor storage issue. Community
Development Director Grochala that staff will be bringing forward information for
discussion and decision in May.
