• The Quad Rink saga continues. Brooklyn Park's Council met reportedly until 1:30 a.m. <br /> Monday in a work session discussing their participation. We've been told four of the <br /> seven council members are leaning towards approval of their participation in the project. <br /> If so,this should give commitments to all four rinks. Our group is still clarifying our <br /> relationship with Ramsey County. It appears that the County is interested in seeing the <br /> cities still guarantee the ice time behind the hockey associations, but they may also want <br /> policy input and profit sharing from the operations. The managers feel that if the County <br /> insists on those conditions,our cities should not have to bear the guarantee for the ice <br /> time. These issues I believe are still workable and the resolution on the agenda for <br /> Monday evening will take these options into consideration. <br /> • Pam and I also met with July Karon last week. I have been delegated responsibility on <br /> behalf of our I-35W group to formulate conditions to present to Judy the County to <br /> distribute funds for polluted development site cleanup. Lucky me. <br /> • I also gave a presentation to the Chamber with Matt Fulton of New Brighton and the help <br /> of Cathy on business and community development projects in Mounds View. The Bel <br /> Rae, Mermaid and Everest were all touched upon. I got some pointed questions about <br /> our use of TIF and felt that overall everyone present was interested in the program. <br /> That's this is it for now. <br /> Chuck <br /> • Interviews for the Planning Associate position were held Monday and Tuesday.
