been prepared for Administrator Whiting with suggestions of time <br /> • savers - including program cuts, reductions, service cuts and <br /> transfer of programs to other entities. Commissioner Gunn was not <br /> happy with the list and said that these were activities that the <br /> community wanted and that they should not be cut. Commissioner <br /> Long stated that he had heard commentsat the Planning <br /> Commission meeting that Mounds View had great parks and <br /> programs. His opinion was that he would rather replace the <br /> position than cut the services. Council member Stigney asked if the <br /> Commission wished to give a recommendation to the Charter <br /> Commission to change from 6 City Newsletters to 4 City <br /> Newsletters. Commissioner Long indicated that he thought that 6 <br /> Newsletters was a benefit for the community. Commissioner Silvis <br /> stated that 6 versus 4 newsletters provides more up to date <br /> information. Commissioner Dentz and Chair Burmeister agreed <br /> that Athletic Associations are getting a good deal with MV <br /> assistance, and perhaps should not be asking staff to assist. <br /> Commissioners were a little leary of the service cut for field <br /> permits. Director Saarion replied that these are suggestions of <br /> service cuts that will hopefully impact the community the least, and <br /> will save on time spent in the office. It was also noted that staff are <br /> looking forward to the voice mail system because telephone <br /> coverage is not adequate for all the telephone calls that are <br /> received. <br /> AJOURNMENT: Motion was made by Commissioner Silvis and seconded by <br /> Commissioner Long to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed <br /> unanimously. <br />
