Wagner Family For a number of years, the family of Rand and Linda Wagner has been very active in providing local community support through the Lake Elmo Jaycees. So much so that they were nominated to compete for recognition as Jaycee Family of the Year. I was asked to provide a letter supporting this nomination, and I gladly did so. I was delighted to learn that they were successful in being declared Family of the Year for their region. Later they became Family of the Year for the State. They now go on to compete for the National Championship. I am sure that everyone here in Lake Elmo will wish them continued success and good luck in the National competition. Mayor's Report February 18,1997 On February 5, Ms Kueffner and I met with Ginny Holden' and discussed the format of the proposed Lake Elmo television show. This is covered in the hand out that I have passed to you this evening. We will meet with the GTN the Government Television Network in the very near future to confirm our needs and to set up a schedule for our first broadcast. On February 14, 1 chaired the Elected Officials Communication Meeting for School District 622. You have received copies of the draft minutes this evening. February 15, I attended the Annual Meeting of the East Metro Development Partnership. Bill Hargis, Mayor of Woodbury was one of the outgoing Chairs, and Craig Waldron, City Administrator for Oakdale and Doug Hanson of 3M were elected to be chairs for 1997. The presentations summarized the many successful businesses that had been attracted to Douglas, Ramsey and Washington Counties in the past year, the new jobs created and the improvement in the related tax bases. Last night Councilor Hunt and I attended the Early Childhood Family Education event at the new Tri School District Valley Crossing school. This was an opportunity for the 3 to 5 year olds to be introduced to the role of government in their young lives. This may seem like extra early learning, but the children responded well to exposure to Fire Fighters, Parks and Recreation, Roads and Maintenance, State and National Symbols. The League of Minnesotan Cities will be holding its Annual Conference at St. Cloud on June 10 - 13. Reserve the dates in your calendars.
