described in the last THIS IS IT! that Lyall Schwarzkopf is leading) . I expressed the City's STRONG interest in this topic based on the City's desire to make City government more accessible to the community, work cooperatively with other entities and to increase the City's communication vehicles. As a result, Mounds View was selected to be a pilot City, along with the cities of Plymouth and Maple Grove. The responsibility of each pilot city is to share learning experiences with other cites and to continue to input data into our system, such as new ordinances or resolutions. The cost would be minimal since the City already has a dedicated file server and access to modems. The City's costs would include staff time of this data entry and adding a dedicated telephone line which is about $35 per month. The three cities will be applying for grants from the State Board o-f Inn-ovat--on—and Cooperation—and the—Intergovernmental Information Systems Advisory Council (IISAC) to offset some of these expenses. More information will be forthcoming on this exciting opportunity very soon. POLICE DEPARTMENT ADDING MORE NETWORK USERS Lieutenant Brick has been added to the network and cable has been run to Pat Michna's work area, so when she gets her new furniture, we just have to set up her computer and connect it to the network. The third computer will be connected when the squad room furniture has arrived and is configured. CLUBHOUSE MANAGER To date, the City has received applications from 7 people interested in the Clubhouse Manager/Golf Pro position. Although this doesn't seem like a very good response, the advertisement has only been out for about a week. The advertisement was also placed in the Minnesota Section of the PGA magazine as well as the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association magazine. These magazines will be circulated the first week in February. These publications go to all members, several of whom manage/operate golf courses all over the State. The deadline for submitting applications is 2/14 so there still is time to get a good response. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES INSURANCE PROGRAM (PEIP) PEIP has run insurance rates for the City with an underwriter to get an actual rate quotation. The new rates are higher than the original rate quote, but there still would be a significant savings. Samantha, Don, Kitty and I will meet again to discuss the next logical course of action, which may be to schedule a meeting with PEIP and all City staff. The plan is still to bring this item to the Council for discussion at the March Worksession. Tim C. Highway 10 Subcommittee:
