Ch�xck Whiting, City Clerk-Adminisirator I�'ro�: Joyce Pruitt Se�b,�ect: Foster care facility at 2935 Highway 10 Daieo Nlay I5, 1996 *'�'� FOR FILE� � �` As you requested, this memorandum has be�n prepared r�garding the st�.tus of the fosi�g� care facility at 2935 ��ighway 10. 3ulie �nyder of the Minnesota DOC Inspectiion Unit and Juvenile �ervices contacted the City on May 08, 1996 to request the pl�cement of ane additional young woman at ihe fosier car� faciliiy at 2935 Hi�hway 10. TJp io this painY, the �Ta.�dach's had heen operating a foster care facility at the property and only `� permitting six faster children at the home. The State of Ivlinnesota permits six or fewer foster children in residentiai districts without municipal regulation. Ms. Snyder made ihe request to add another £oster ctuld %llowing a City Cotancil worksession discussion to revise ihe fbster care ordinance. The City Council expressed suppori far chartging the Mounds View foster care ordinance to aIlaw up to eight foster children in residential districts. Although this new ordinance has not been formally adopted as of yet, I believe it is th� Council's intention to allow up to eight children at a foster care facility. The additional child is a female �ander eighteen years of age who stili requires educatian on family living skills, which Ms. Snyder feels the Waldoch's can provide. On May 4�, 199b, Ms. Snyder was natified that it wouid be acceptabie to ailow this one additional chiid into the faster care for the �265 Spring Lake Road facility, prior to the formai adoption of the amer�ded foster care cod�.
