The <br /> official title of this group is the North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition and is made up of the cities of Mounds <br /> View,New Brighton, Arden Hills, Shoreview,Blaine,Roseville and Circle Pines. Its purpose is to jointly address <br /> community development concerns up and down the I-35W corridor and utilize a coordinating consultant to <br /> facilitate addressing these concerns, all of which are identified in the agreement. The members of this group to <br /> date have been meeting on these issues and already have coordinated on the Met Council grant application, which <br /> failed. However, Met Council staff have shown great interest in assisting with the objectives the group has laid <br /> out, and has strongly suggested funding can be made available to address those issues. In the mean time, after <br /> • <br /> entering this agreement with the other cities, each city will be expected to contribute funds to retain the Strauss <br /> Management Company as the consultant for the organization. Mounds View's portion of that share for 1997 is <br /> just under $4,000, which at this point is budgeted in the city administrator's budget. Strauss Management <br /> Company is intimately familiar with the group of cities through the North Metro Mayors Association and did the <br /> coordination of the Met Council grant application. I agree with the rest of the member cities that they are the <br /> appropriate and likely most effective group to manage this effort. <br /> Chuck Whiting, City Attrnstrator <br /> •RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Resolution No. 5053 <br />
