June 15, 1999 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator Re: June 21, 1999 City Council Work Session This memo will be brief because of the time of its writing and the League conference this week. We do have some items to go over. Here's the agenda as of Tuesday: Item 1 - Discussion of Year 2000 Budget Priorities: This is just what is sounds like. I would suggest the Council think of this in terms of what you would like to see done, what you would like to see continue, and what you would like to see changed or stopped. Practical concerns would include general interest in what taxes or fees should be, personnel costs, and capital improvements. Some things to keep in mind, we will have two union agreements to negotiate, the franchise fee expires in December, the community center history in the general fund will be only figured since the first of this year, tax increment discussions are relevant if the council chooses to make them so, and street assessment policies are still up for change. Some consensus on direction would help staff react appropriately, or where no firm sense is arrived at, we can float options throughout the coming weeks for your consideration. Item 2 - Review of the YMCA Agreement: Bruce will present this for council review and discussion with an eye on getting this taken care of at the June 28 meeting. Item 3 - Review of Community Center Operations: Bruce will report on the budget status of the community center operations, the recreation programming and the banquet center operations to date. Item 4 - Review of Airport Noise Committee: I have been meeting with MAC officials on setting up a local airport noise committee and will want to review with you the discussions to date for council support. Item 5 - Merryville Farm Market CUP: Jim Ericson will review this CUP for Merryville at Mounds View Square. Item 6 - Status of Community Survey Options: Rick Jopke can give an update on this. That is it from me for now. Other staff members may be adding items during the week and council can be updated on anything new on Monday. Remember that council is interviewing the next two police chief candidates on Monday and the start of the work session has been moved back to 7 p.m. Have a good week and see you either in Rochester or here next Monday.
