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