Residents Requests and Comments from the floor
Mr. Glen Beggin appeared on behalf of Community One to request favorable
consideration by the Council for the joint powers resolution. Mr. Beggin
outlined the progress and the goals of Community One. A list of the board of
directors of Community One and the job description for the proposed director
was submitted to the Council.
Councilman Neisen felt that the residents of the Village were against the support
of Community One primarily because they felt it would not benefit the people in
the community.
Councilman Hodges questioned Mr. Beggin on the building site and on the possible
future request for additional funds. Mr. Beggin felt that federal and state funds
could be obtained, however first year funding by the villages would be necessary.
Mr. Beggin said that the joint powers agreement states that the Village would
only fund the staff personnel and that additional funding would be derived from
other sources.
Councilman Johnson wondered if there was any overlap of services now provided by
another agency. Mr. Beggin stated that the people in the district say the service
is needed. Councilman Johnson wanted to know if the schools could provide the
service better. Mr. Beggin felt that this was not possible since some of the
students require non - school outlets.
Councilman Hodges stated that the Council should give it a go for one year,
however he was concerned about the policing problem.
Councilman Johnson asked if other suburbs have tried a similar approach. He
was informed that White Bear Lake and Hopkins have similar activities. Again
Mr. Beggin stated that these communities are receiving state funds to assist
in the development of their program.
