Coordinator Bennett handed out a revised inventory of developed commercial and industrial <br /> property in Mounds View for the EDC's review and discussion. The inventory includes <br /> zoning, comprehensive plan designation, property I.D. #, Owner, lot size, land value and <br /> estimated property taxes payable in 1995. Coordinator Bennett notedseveral areas that will • <br /> be changed and said she would hand out a revised copy at the next meeting to include <br /> properties that are in a tax increment district. <br /> B. Discussion of Bridges to Work Program <br /> Chairman Seipp gave an overview of a meeting held at the Burnsville Transit Center to discuss <br /> transportation issues. The Bridges to Work Program is an idea to link the labor pool in the <br /> inner cities to the need for workers in the suburbs through a coordinated transportation <br /> system. Currently, there is no central location whereby a company could pick up workers to <br /> transport them to the job site. The proposal includes a central North Suburb location, such as <br /> Roseville, which would serve as a collection point for companies that have a need to attract <br /> inner city workers. It was recommended that staff keep the EDC apprised of the program so <br /> that information can be given to Mounds View businesses. In addition, the EDC would like to <br /> have a meeting with the Metropolitan Transit System to see if an additional route may be <br /> developed for Highway 10 near the business park. If this is not possible, the EDC would like <br /> to review other opt out programs that could specifically benefit Mounds View residents and <br /> businesses access to the transit system. <br /> C. Discussion of Terms for EDC Member in 1996 <br /> Coordinator Bennett explained that there are three terms which expire in 1995. These terms <br /> may be reappointed for another term if the persons so desires. The terms that expire include <br /> Dan Nelson, Peg Mountin and Phil Seipp. Commissioner Mountin said that she would not be <br /> able to be reappointed for another year since her personal and educational commitments are <br /> increasing. Commissioner Seipp had not made a decision and said that he would be talking to <br /> the Mayor and would let Coordinator Bennett know prior to the next meeting. Coordinator <br /> Bennett said she would contact Commissioner Nelson. <br /> Coordinator Bennett asked for suggestions on candidates to fill vacancies on the EDC. <br /> Commissioner Carlson suggested a customer and resident who is a real estate agent named Bev <br /> Terhark. Other suggestions include resident Hank Ruggles and a representative from the Silver <br /> Lake Pointe Apartments. Coordinator Bennett will contact these people to see if they are <br /> interested in applying. <br /> Reports From Chair, Commissioners and Staff: <br /> There were no reports. <br /> 7.
