Mounds View City Council May 29, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 19 It was the consent of Council to direct Staff not to purchase the property at 5260 Long Lake Road as part of the Housing Replacement Program. Patrick Toth reported that he is in the process of putting together summer programming, a program dealing with transportation for seniors, and some gardening programs. He then noted he would also like to put together a promotional piece for the City that could be given to new residents of the City. Mr. Toth noted the Cable Committee had instructed him to look into purchasing and installing monitors out in the hallway that would broadcast the City's cable channel during business hours. He then noted he had purchased two more digital tape decks to accommodate all the meetings the City has. He also noted he had purchased three more table microphones to facilitate larger groups that should be installed soon. Mr. Toth asked Council for permission to string cable down to the TV/VCR combination in the Mayor's office so that it could be used to tape meetings as there has been an increasing demand for copies of meetings and it is easier to tape a meeting while it is live than from tape. Council Member Marty stated he liked the senior citizens transportation idea as the City has been talking about it for sometime and he thinks it would be helpful to seniors. He stated he also like the Mounds View promotional tape and the monitors in the hallway. He then explained that Council had agreed that the TV/VCR combination should be moved to the exercise area at the • Community Center and suggested Mr. Toth purchase a VCR for making copies of meetings. It was the consent of Council that Mr. Toth should work with City Administrator Miller to purchase a VCR or make some other accommodations for the taping of meetings.

It was the consent of Council to reschedule the quarterly meeting to June 12, 2001 in the evening.
