fli <br /> Mayor Coughlin noted the Council agreed to schedule additional work sessions on the third <br /> Monday of each month in an attempt to get ahead of the issues. He noted that the DARE <br /> graduation is scheduled for May 17, at 7:00 P.M. so he will be unable to attend that work <br /> session. <br /> • Mayor Coughlin noted that Council Member Stigney's grand daughter will also be in attendance <br /> at the DARE graduation. He suggested a two-part work session be considered where the meeting <br /> could be adjourned to allow for attendance at the DARE graduation and then reconvened. Or, <br /> the worksession could be schedule earlier, relocated to the Pinewood School to save travel time, <br /> or that particular work session could be canceled. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Coughlin. To set schedule additional work sessions on the third <br /> Monday of each month with the May 17, 1999 work session to be considered separately. ° <br /> 11 <br /> Mayor Coughlin suggested the DARE graduation be posted as a possible quorum and stated his <br /> support for Council Member attendance at this community event. <br /> Council Member Thomason stated she opposed additional work sessions and believes the t''f <br /> Council could more efficiently handle items. She stated her support for a temporary two month <br /> work session schedule and then looking at it again at that time. <br /> Council Member Marty stated that may be a viable option. He stated he understands Spring and <br /> Fall are busy Council times but often times the projects are underway in the Summer so it is not <br /> as busy. He suggested the work sessions be held in April and May and the third Monday in June, <br /> if needed. <br /> Council Member Stigney and Mayor Coughlin accepted this friendly amendment to their motion. <br /> Council Member Marty suggested a decision whether the work session is needed in June be <br /> made at the first meeting in June. <br /> Mayor Coughlin stated one of the reasons this was discussed was to provide time for the Council t'! <br /> to address the "bigger picture" for Mounds View in the future and it was Council Member <br /> Quick's suggestion the Council barely has time to address items before them much less the "big <br /> picture" issues. He stated this schedule can be changed and a decision will need to be made after <br /> the two month trail to determine if it should continue. <br /> Council Member Stigney suggested the June 17 worksession be left open to staff in case it is <br /> needed. <br /> Ayes - 5.
