CLUBHOUSE MANAGER/INSTRUCTOR/RANGE MANAGER On Wednesday 2/22, Mary Saarion, Kurt Johnson and I interviewed six candidates for this position. We had the pleasure of interviewing some very qualified individuals. A recommendation for Council consideration has been included in the Council packet. 5 YEAR GOAL PLAN The goal is to have this document prepared and to the printer by mid-March and delivered by the end of March at the latest. If there are any changes, addition or deletions that you would like to make to the draft that was distributed on 2/10, please let_me know as soon as possible so they can be incorporated into the final document. Thanks. INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY/INTERNET/FREENET On Tuesday, 2/21, Samantha and I attended a very informative seminar conducted by U.S. West in regard to the information superhighway. There were several representatives present from the State and Local Units of Government. The presentation centered around the benefits of accessing the information superhighway (the Internet) and the logistics of making this happen. There were several success stories shared, one of particular interest is a project called Luminet in Winona. The community, including businesses, public schools, private schools, universities, health care organizations, private citizens, etc. . . , made a commitment to communicate with one another, share information, and access the internet and did so with very positive results. This seminar coincided nicely with the City's interest in the Freenet group. Kitty Hickok and I will be attending two training sessions next week to get a better idea of the benefits of this network and the commitment the City would have to make to the project to ensure its success. A report will be given to the Council at the March Worksession to explain what we have learned and the benefits this project may have to the Community. FOCUS 2000 STEERING COMMITTEE The next steering committee is scheduled for Tuesday evening, March 7 at 6:30 p.m. The committee will review the updated 5 year Goal Plan and is planning to draft a survey to be included in the next newsletter to get feedback from the community.
