He stated an Open House was scheduled for April 24th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. The entire 19 <br />Council and staff were invited to attend the event. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Council Member Hull stated Messiah Lutheran Church was holding a concert, open to the public 22 <br />on Sunday, April 1st at 7:00 p.m. All proceeds would benefit the Christus Chorus of Concordia 23 <br />College that would be performing. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Council Member Mueller stated last Thursday at the Mounds View Community Center, the City 26 <br />hosted the Ramsey County League of Local Governments meeting. The featured speaker was 27 <br />from the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon initiative. An update was provided on the progress Ramsey 28 <br />County was making to achieve Yellow Ribbon status. According to the specific items that need 29 <br />to be completed, Ramsey County and the cities therein, would be eligible for Yellow Ribbon 30 <br />status at the end of April 2012. The goal was to have this signed off by legislature before the end 31 <br />of its session. The intent was to have each city website in Ramsey County to have a link to the 32 <br />Beyond the Yellow Ribbon website. This would create greater access and information as to the 33 <br />services available to veterans, military personnel, and their families. 34 <br /> 35 <br /> B. Reports of Staff. 36 <br /> 37 <br />City Administrator Ericson discussed the variance request from Tim Downing at 8027 38 <br />Woodlawn Drive. He stated the original variance requested was over four feet based on current 39 <br />City Code. When the Council upheld the Planning Commission’s decision to deny the variance, 40 <br />it required Mr. Downing to stay within the 20 foot height limit. However, when the actual height 41 <br />was measured based on the plans, the garage was only nine inches too tall. He questioned if the 42 <br />Council would like to reconsider the variance request given the fact there was a nine inch 43 <br />infraction versus the previously thought four foot difference. 44 <br /> 45
