At the Council's request <br /> I called Brooklyn Park for more information and was introduced to <br /> Chris Graham, Housing Director. She is a wealth of information <br /> and felt that the appropriate group to share information with is <br /> the City Council. Without hesitation she agreed to come to this <br /> work session to share her information and answer any questions <br /> that the Council may have regarding this issue. <br /> Chris Graham has been the driving force in coordinating a <br /> property managers group that meets on a monthly basis. The <br /> meetings include networking and getting to know each other as <br /> well as guest speakers who offer information such as third party <br /> screening, setting standards for people to abide by, screening <br /> advantages, and how to go about obtaining references on potential <br /> tenants, school district information, parks information and other <br /> information that would be conducive to rental agencies in their <br /> business of selling rental space. <br /> Chris has great interest in this project_ ShP has been working <br /> with the property managers in the City of Brooklyn Park for <br /> approximately 5 years and has seen many other cities follow suit. <br /> Her dream is to form a Metro Area property managers group. Chris <br /> has spoken with many city councils in the metropolitan area and <br /> sees the work session as a great opportunity to meet with the <br /> Mounds View City Council. <br /> - .1-~-10') <br /> Mary Saarion,iirector of Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br />
