He stated that he felt the Internet was an exciting medium, which would provide greater <br /> communication between the City and the community. He added that, in the future, it was conceivable <br /> that many City processes could be accomplished over the Internet. <br /> Commissioner Laube asked if staff had received any communication from the State regarding the <br /> billboard issue. Jopke stated that he had spoken with two State Representatives, who indicated that <br /> Commercial or Industrial zoning requirements were firm. He stated that the Council's reaction was <br /> that the City could get its `house in order', and if a developer was unable to obtain a permit from the <br /> State,it would be their problem. Commissioner Laube asked if a sunset clause could be added to the <br /> billboard ordinance to allow the ordinance to be null and void if the State denies permits. Jopke stated <br /> that the language of the ordinance could be reviewed. <br /> Jopke updated the Commission regarding the Mermaid project. He noted that they are still negotiating <br /> with the adjacent property owners,and have reached tentative agreement with two of them. He stated, <br /> however,the Lambert site was not willing to cooperate. He stated they had preliminary notification <br /> from the State that they might obtain a redevelopment grant. He noted that the developer may simply <br /> decide to scale the project back,and that there were a number of different options available. He stated <br /> that he had spoken to a developer who was working to acquire a site for the development of a <br /> Walgreen's drug store. <br /> 9.
