THlS IS <br /> For the Week of February 5 - February 9, 1996 <br /> ADMINISTRATION <br /> MEETING REGARDING BEL RAE USAGE <br /> Councilmember Trude and I met with Nick Temali and Susie Kaiser this morning to discuss the <br /> current and long term relationship between the City of Mounds View and Community Education. <br /> Our discussions focused on the possible collaborative efforts which could be entered into should <br /> the City elect to purchase the Bel Rae for use as a Community Center. Nick and Susie were very <br /> helpful in pointing out the current needs of the Community Education program as well as <br /> anticipated future needs. In addition, funding mechanisms for the Community Education program <br /> were discussed as they relate to a possible financial partnership in purchasing the Bel Rae. <br /> Staff will be including a detailed synopsis of the meeting to the entire Council as part of the <br /> information requested via the EDA motion directing Staff to research the possible purchase of the <br /> Bel Rae facility. <br /> SUNNYSIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROPOSAL <br /> Staff received the attached letter from Susan Wandell of District 621 requesting City participation <br /> in the expansion of Sunnyside Elementary School. The proposal asks for a City contribution in <br /> the amount of$100,000 to go towards construction costs. For the contribution, Mounds View <br /> would get use of the facilities for after school activities and recreation programs. Since this <br /> proposal has come in during discussions regarding the Bel Rae purchase, Staff would suggest that <br /> the Council draft a letter to Ms. Wandell explaining that until the Council has reached a decision <br /> regarding the Bel Rae, participation in this venture is not in the best interest of the City. <br /> Paul <br />
