September 13, 1976 Page 14 <br />Administrator Achen stated that Chuck attended the National League <br />of Cities workshop on the Public Works Employment Act in Chicago. <br />Basically the grants will be given on a first come first served basis <br />with 100% funding. Completion of plans and specifications is not required <br />but those projects with plans and specs are most likely to be funded. <br />You should have something on the drawing boards to improve the odds of <br />gettisig a grant. Maybe a project with the construction of park buildings <br />with tennis courts and underground sprinkling. Admin. Achen stated that <br />they are looking for projects that can be done fast, are part of a long range <br />plan and call for a wide range of labor skills. If Mounds View gets plans <br />and specs for only one park and the request is denied, we will only have <br />to pay for the one set of park plans. Admin. Achen stated that this would <br />probably not cost too much because we could use plans from another city. <br />Another project could be the expansion of the City maintenance garage. <br />Admin. Achen stated that it would probably not cost more than $500 for <br />these plans and specifications. <br />MSP (Baumgartner Pickar) that the Council direct staff to prepare a grant <br />application per the Parks 4 Recreation five year capital improvement plan <br />for the Public Works Employment Act of 1976. <br />Admin. Achen stated he was contemplating setting a deadline for the <br />council agenda. He stated that he would like to formalize the agenda by <br />Monday preceding the regular Council meeting, so that a tentative agenda <br />will be available for Council to consider at its agenda session. Councilmember <br />Rowley asked if this deadline would also be sufficient to put things in the <br />newspaper. Administrator Achen stated that the paper needs to have the <br />information about one week in advance. It will be somewhat helpful to <br />the papers. Mayor Pickar stated that this would also be helpful to the <br />Councilmembers. Admin. Achen stated that if the Council has a set rule <br />on this, the residents will know too. <br />Atty. Meyers stated that he had reviewed the statutes on canvassing the <br />election and found that the election results must be canvassed, but <br />he did not know who does it, the City or the State Canvassing Board. <br />Admin. Achen stated that the Council probably has to canvass only a city <br />matter. <br />MSP (Hodges Baumgartner) to adjourn at 12 :40 a.m. <br />Res ectfullybritted, <br />1,n� <br />Mark Achen <br />Clerk Administrator <br />4 ayes <br />
