I <br /> Planning Commission Meeting Minutes <br /> June 15, 1999 <br /> • Page 7 <br /> 1 Bergstrom stated grant money is available for a wide variety of projects, and the application <br /> 2 process is time consuming and requires creativity. He added the City could do more in the area <br /> 3 of economic redevelopment, but not with its current Staff. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated the City's <br /> 4 budget must also be able to support matching funds requirements. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Bergstrom stated there may be opportunities for the Commission to work on grant research. <br /> 7 Hatch stated there are various web sites with such information. Stille stated he is interested in <br /> 8 finding out about grant opportunities for street improvements. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated Public <br /> 9 Works Director Jay Hartman might have more information. Bergstrom requested that Ms. <br /> 10 Moore-Sykes determine whether Mr. Hartman could attend the Commission's August meeting to <br /> 11 discuss this issue. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 IX. COMMENTS. <br /> 14 Hanson stated he agrees with Horst's comments with regard to the urgency of communicating <br /> 15 with the shopping center's new owners. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Melsha also expressed agreement with acting quickly on the shopping center, adding the City <br /> must be more aggressive than in the past.
