• Dawn and I attended an LMC legislative review meeting in Brooklyn Center on Tuesday. Among other things talked about was the "performance aid" that was started for this year, and TIF changes. I was directed to contact the City of Minnetonka for their policies regarding the use of TIF. We may want to consider something similar. • I was in the office this past week as well. The Bel-Rae situation is taking some time and my continue to do so. The Mayor has scheduled an emergency meeting for Friday afternoon at 5:30 p.m. to assess our situation. Mr. Jambor has not signed the purchase option and we apparently are running into some difficulties. Perhaps this can be cleared up by Friday's meeting. • Cathy and I met with Everest Development last week on their interest for the"N" building. We will continue to have contact with them on this, particularly since Monday night work session identified their concerns as a high priority item. Expect to hear more from us on this soon. Chuck • I received a call from a developer who was interested in locating a furniture store on the Winn Insurance property. I gave him the background with regards to the City's interest in seeing the entire block developed rather than just one parcel. We had a lengthy discussion and he is going to consider trying to put together a proposal for the entire area. • At the New Brighton/Mounds View Chamber of Commerce Business Development Committee meeting this week we chose the winners of the Business of the Year, Longevity Award, Customer Service/Innovation Award and Volunteer/Leadership Award. A Mounds View business was selected for one of the awards which will be presented at a luncheon meeting on June 20th. Mayor Norm Coleman will be the featured speaker. I will be sure that all of you receive an invitation. Previously the New Brighton Mayor gave a proclamation to the Business of the Year. This year we would like to propose a joint proclamation by the Mayors of both Cities! • We have set the next Community Connections Meeting for May 22, 1996 at 7:00 pm to discuss how a community facility at the Bel-Rae Ballroom can meet Mounds View School District and the City of Mounds View's needs. The meeting notice will possibly be mailed out next week. Cathy • Since the last newsletter was sent out to residents, there have been numerous calls regarding street light petitions. I'm happy to say that so far, there have been no complaints about the sixteen scheduled locations for this year.
