Mounds View City Council September 25, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 3 6. REPORTS Council Member Marty reported the Cable Commission met earlier on September 25, 2000 and discussed the goals the Commission wants to accomplish for Channel 98. He told the Council Channel 98 is up and running with 9 out of 10 of the “sister” cities on the air. He noted the Commission expects the last city to be on board shortly. He also noted the Commission would like to see an agenda on Channel 98 so viewers can review it and decide if they want to watch the meeting. Mayor Coughlin commended members of the Cable Commission for accomplishing this task. Council Member Thomason reported Northwest Youth and Family Services is in need of mentors to reach at risk children between the ages of 7 to 9 years old. Mayor Coughlin reported he attended the I-35 Corridor planning meeting and said it was a good meeting where some good ideas were exchanged. He informed members of the Council that he has informational materials available for anyone who is interested. He also reported to Council the I-35 Corridor group is working on a comprehensive plan for development in all cities on the I-35 corridor. Mayor Coughlin noted a person had not received notice of the opening on the Planning Commission and, therefore, the deadline will be extended to allow time for others interested in applying for the opening to do so. The deadline was extended to October 9, 2000. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed informed the Council she has been told by Ramsey County that the City must change the way they are running the election for the City Council positions. She indicated candidates must declare which term they are running for and this information must be on the ballot in November. She then clarified the City has three terms up for election and those are two four-year terms and one two-year term. She added the candidates have been notified of the need to declare which term they are seeking election to. Mayor Coughlin asked City Administrator Reed if she needed action of the Council on this matter. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed indicated at some point it may be necessary to change the City Charter to reflect the new requirement, but at this point no action of the Council is needed. No further reports were considered. 7. CONSENT AGENDA A. Approve Just and Correct Claims B. Licenses for Approval C. Adopt Resolution No. 5466 Establishing Fees for Tattoo and Body Piercing Licenses
