Council member DeLapp ap6iogized for accusing the City website of advertising the <br />Grand Opening of the Machine Shed Restaurant. There is another website (lakeelmo.com) <br />that is a mock of our government website, and they should distinguish themselves a little <br />better and should make an honest effort to provide information about our City <br />Mayor Hunt responded we have to be very careful because its easy in the web world to <br />create a website that looks like somebody else's and use it to push information out. For <br />every piece of good information on the web, there is another piece of bad information on <br />the web. He suggested looking into web URL. <br />12. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: <br />13. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: <br />A. Cimarron Park — Bus Service <br />Administrator Kueffner reported the portion of Metro Transit Bus Route 63 serving <br />Oakdale and Lake Elmo and stopping at Cimarron Park will be discontinued on June 9, <br />2001. Route 294 service will continue. This does not mean that Cimarron Park residents, <br />who depend on metro transit for their transportation, will have to search for alternative <br />means of transportation. The Metropolitan Council has developed several new programs <br />which they feel will provide better and more cost-effective transportation services to the <br />Cimarron Community. A meeting will be held on Thursday, March 8, 7:00 p.m. in the <br />Cimarron Park Community room for the interested Cimarron residents and the <br />Metropolitan Council Transportation and Transit Development staff. If a second meeting <br />is needed, it will be held at Oakdale Jr. H.S. The Met Council will be placing a notice in <br />the newspaper. There are residents from surrounding communities that drive to the Park <br />and Ride lot and use the bus service. <br />Council member DeLapp asked what do we pay for bus service and requested an <br />explanation of the tax capacity system. <br />B. Strategic Planning <br />The Council was asked to provide a summary of issues it felt should be discussed during <br />our Strategic Planning session, but Administrator Kueffner has received only one <br />response.
