Best of luck to you Michele. <br /> Next week is the League of Minnesota Cities Conference in Rochester and I will be attending <br /> with Julie Trude and Lynette Morgan Tuesday night through Thursday. I should also mention <br /> that it appears I will be a Rotarian again for the third time, so feel free to stop by for your <br /> Rotarian needs. <br /> Chuck <br /> • The New Brighton/Mounds View Chamber of Commerce has mailed the initiations for <br /> the 1996 Business of the Year Luncheon. Mayor Norm Coleman will be the featured <br /> speaker. The luncheon is on June 10, 11:45 at the New Brighton Family Service Center. <br /> The Business of the Year award will be presented with a joint proclamation from the <br /> Mayor of New Brighton and Mounds View. In addition there are three other awards. A <br /> Mounds View business has won an award this year. I put a registration form near your <br /> boxes if you are interested in attending. <br /> ♦ Jennifer and I attended a forum hosted by the Federal Reserve.Bank regarding Affordable <br /> Housing and Economic Development on Wed morning. We came back with a few new <br /> ideas and contacts but the programs were mostly geared toward inner-city issues. I did <br /> meet Patricia Anderson who works for the Development Corporation for Children. She <br /> may be working with the V.B.Digs group to help them secure grant funds for the Bel-Rae <br /> Project. I will be meeting with V.B. Digs and Patricia Andersen next week regarding <br /> revenue sources and operating expense projections. <br /> • I sent a counter proposal to Everest regarding their most recent Building N proposal. <br /> Everest responded that they can not accept our counter offer. We will continue to <br /> negotiate a reasonable pay-as-you-go agreement. If you are interested in any of the <br /> details please call me. Otherwise, we are not prepared to present Everest's offer to the <br /> EDA for consideration at this time. <br /> • Jennifer made an offer of$50,000 to HUD for the house on Silver Lake Road. They <br /> seemed disappointed in our offer but we have not received a formal response yet. <br /> Cathy <br /> • Last Friday, I attended the League's Improving Community Life committee meeting. <br /> The group's main goal is to develop and implement programs that will benefit <br /> communities. There were a lot of really good ideas brought forth by committee members <br /> (most of whom are Councilmembers) and some projects already put into effect. In many <br /> cases, community and government interaction and cooperation has had markedly positive <br /> results. <br />
