Reports of Staff. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ericson stated Staff was approached by Bill Urbanski to consider a resolution proposed by Minnesota Arms Spending Alternatives Project (ASAP). The resolution would <br /> shift federal funds from the war, or the minority, to providing needs for the majority. He commented he tried to research the matter further and was not successful in verifying the <br /> information. He requested the Council review the resolution and provide feedback to Staff on how to proceed. <br /> <br />Bill Urbanski, 2367 Sherwood Road, indicated he presented this resolution to the Council at their last worksession meeting. He felt this Resolution should be considered by the City <br /> to ensure federal spending levels are reviewed. He understood the City of St. Paul discussed and approved this resolution. He commented Minneapolis and Duluth would be considering <br /> this same resolution. He requested Mounds View take action on this item at their November 13th meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty stated the consensus of the Council at the worksession meeting was to move forward with this item. However, some of the facts were still uncertain and may have to be <br /> left off the resolution.
