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. She 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 />Saarinn, Ifl rector of Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br />Rini' )NIMFNI)A'1'U)N: <br />
