• INTER <br /> OFFICEMEMO <br /> To: Chuck Whiting, City Clerk-Administrator <br /> From: Joyce Pruitt <br /> Subject: Foster care facility at 2935 Highway 10 • <br /> Date: May 15, 1996 <br /> *** FOR FILE*** <br /> As you requested, this memorandum has been prepared regarding the status of the foster care <br /> facility at 2935 Highway 10. Julie Snyder of the Minnesota DOC Inspection Unit and Juvenile <br /> Services contacted the City on May 08, 1996 to request the placement of one additional young . <br /> woman at the foster care facility at 2935 Highway 10. <br /> Up to this point, the Waldoch's had been operating a foster care facility at the property and only <br /> • permitting six foster children at the home. The State of Minnesota permits six or fewer foster <br /> children in residential districts without municipal regulation. <br /> Ms. Snyder made the request to add another foster child following a City Council worksession <br /> discussion to revise the foster care ordinance. The City Council expressed support for changing <br /> the Mounds View foster care ordinance to allow up to eight foster children in residential districts. <br /> Although this new ordinance has not been formally adopted as of yet, I believe it is the Council's <br /> intention to allow up to eight children at a foster care facility. <br /> The additional child is a female under eighteen years of age who still requires education on family <br /> living skills, which Ms. Snyder feels the Waldoch's can provide. <br /> On May 08, 1996, Ms. Snyder was notified that it would be acceptable to allow this one <br /> additional child into the foster care for the 8265 Spring Lake Road facility, prior to the formal <br /> adoption of the amended foster care code. <br /> III <br />
