From:Julie Trude To:City of Mounds View 5116195 at 15:50.51 COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS MINUTES OF MAY 10, 1995 The meeting was called to order by Julie Trude at 5:30 p.m. at the Mounds View City Hall. In attendance were: Louise & Jim Paron representing seniors, Gary Quick and Dan Nelson of the Mounds View Economic Development Commission, Harold Kurtz of District 621 School Board, Penny Howard of Edgewood Middle School, Donna Nelson of Pinewood School, Kim Goodsell of the ECFE program, Nick Tomali of Community Education and Julie Trude of the Mounds View City Council. Harold Kurtz reported that the School Board had recently discussed the Community Connections meetings. The School Board expressed interest and support for this project which could result in facilities that could provide double use--school and community use. There was no discussion of details. However, there was only interest in working with the Edgewood site. There was a general discussion of the Edgewood site and the advantages it would offer to the community over the current Ralph Reader site for ECFE and community education, food shelf and other programs. The needs lists were discussed and a request was made that the large sheets drawn up at the previous meeting be typed and distributed at the next meeting. Nick Tomali arrived and explained the demographic maps he had obtained. These were circulated for review. The maps showed location of school age and preschool children fairly equally dispersed throughout nearly every Mounds View neighbor- hood. Tomali noted there were fewer seniors than in New Brighton and no clustering of seniors. Additional maps were reviewed. Tomali explained that he thought the district should have about four locations for providing early education, special education, WIC and county social services. It would be logical to pair Sunnyside & Pinewood attendance areas for these services in any facility built at Edgewood. -1-
