(Motion carried 5-0). 8. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Councilman Williams asked about the status of Parks member, Jim Yarusso, as he had a poor attendance record on the Parks Commission and the Administrator was directed to send a letter asking him if he wished to continue. The letter has been sent, but the City has not received a response. Since we have not received a response, Williams suggested we advertise for the position of second alternate on the Parks Commission. The Council asked this be made an agenda item for the next meeting to enable the staff to prepare appropriate motions and review requirements. Williams indicated he did not receive a septic system letter and voiced his concern, if he didn't receive one, maybe other residents were missed. A copy of this letter will be provided to Councilmen Williams and Mottaz. Councilman Johnson explained that some time ago he signed up for information on the Minnesota Dept. of Natural Resources Tree Program. There is a total grant of $256,284 to buy trees, but there are requirements that have to be met. Requirements such as: meeting standards of Tree City USA which means a Tree Board, Municipal Tree Ordinance, the community spending $2 per capita on a forestry program, contribute at least 50% of the total project cost, and the city must utilize a small business contractor to plant trees because this is a SBA program.
