He said Alderman Dziedzic had 14 indicated he was pleased with the changes the City had made in the 15 project plans which would site the senior building closest to the 16 Minneapolis neighbors ' homes and would be taking the new proposal to 17 some of those homeowners for their reaction. 18 Councilmember Ranallo said the Alderman had called him back after •19 that meeting to report the reaction of the neighbors he had talked to 20 had been very favorable. 21 Alderman Dziedzic had then given the go-ahead for an informal meeting 22 to be held at 7 : 00 P.M. , Monday evening, October 19 , 1987 in the 23 lower meeting hall in St. Charles Borromeo School to which all the 24 Minneapolis neighbors who had indicated an interest in the project 25 would be invited to ask any questions they might have about the 26 proposal. The Councilmember as well as Mr. Childs, Dick Krier, the 27 H.R.A. Consultant, and a Gaughan Company representative would be 28 present to address the neighbors ' concerns along with the Alderman, 29 who perceived some of the negative reaction to the previous develop- 30 ment proposal might be diffused before the Planning Commission hold 31 their hearing on P.U.D. changes anticipated for the new project. 32 No Interest in Funding Dispute Resolution Center 33 Mr. Childs said the Mayor had asked him to include the letter from 34 the above in the agenda packet but had indicated he perceived no City 35 need for the Center' s mediation or conciliation services at this 36 time.
