Financing Assistance: Steve Dorgan will review with the council the issue and opportunities here. Item 5 -Update on Housing Program Grant Applications: Since Steve will be with us, why not. Item 6 - Redevelopment Proposals for 6991 Pleasant View Drive: Steve will also go over this. Item 7-Review of I-35W Corridor Transportation Study and Neighboring Development Plans: I believe we had this on an earlier agenda and moved it due to time constraints. Item 8 -Nighttime Parking Restrictions Item 9 -Review of Council- Staff Retreat: Carl Neu has gotten us the summary of the two retreat sessions we have had. The council may want to review it and determine an appropriate course of action. Such an action may include reviewing the report at the next meeting, adopting a resolution of sorts and so on. Item 10 - Streets Committee Policies: The Council has received the policy recommendations from the Streets Committee and should determine the schedule for reviewing those options and the accompanying public review. The resolution passed by the council earlier this month lays out the objective of having two public hearings no later than June 28 on the policies to be changed. Discussion for Monday night can center on the policy proposals themselves, how current policies would be changed and/or the impact of making those changes. That's it for the work session. In other news, the paperwork for the Everest agreement is in process and awaiting your signatures. Kevin Carroll will be leaving the document on your office desk for signing. I met with representatives of Blaine and Circle Pines with several MAC officials on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the sound abatement committee options the city could enter into. The meeting essentially concluded with MAC drafting up bylaws for such a committee for review at our next meeting. We generally discussed how many community representatives should be on the committee and for working purposes concluded two each. A MAC staff member housed at the airport will be looking to once again establish a phone line for addressing complaints. While commendatory, the city representatives stressed that personal contact and action would go much further to satisfy complaints than just a phone line. We have been emphasizing this personal a' responsibility to them, and to the pilots the mayor and I talked with last week, and that them must start seeing themselves as part of the community, not just airport guys. We once again hosted a four city supervisory training session at the MVCC on Wednesday for Mounds View, Blaine,New Brighton and Coon Rapids city supervisors. It was well attended by the other cities.
