-7- Action on City Hall Alternatives had been tabled May 22 for the reaction of the Planning Board, who at their last meeting had indicated a majority preference for moving the Fire Department to Parkview for which a long term lease or, preferably, ownership should be sought. , Councilman Sauer suggested the facilities study being made by the Community Services Director might prove helpful for making any decision. Mr. Fornell said it would be impossible for the existing staff to put specific costs on each alternative and that an architect could quantify construction costs . Mayor Haik expressed her concern with the school district' s future plans for the senior citizens ' center and other services in the Parkview building, wondering specifically "what magnitude might be given us by another school district coming in?" A work session was tentatively set with the Planning Board and a representative from the District #282 Board for Monday, July 23 , subject to Mr. McMullen' s facilities report being available for consideration that date. The possibility that there should also be representation of District #282 on the Cable TV Advisory Committee led to agreement that the matter of further appointments to the committee should be laid over to the July 10 Council meeting. No nominations were made to the Hennepin County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. • Motion 'y Mayor Haik and seconded by Councilman Sauer to approve payment of $150 for 1980 Hennepin Emergency Communications Organi- zation dues. Motion carried unanimously. In his memorandum of June 18 , the Manager had addressed the current status of the City ' s Civil Defense Reserve and presented the six steps he saw as necessary to - provide more specific direction to the group with which recommendations the Fire Chief had concurred in his July 26 memorandum to the Council . Further suggestions for the Reserves ' involvement included their serving a secondary capacity in such activities as Bike Safety Days, the Red Cross Donor program, possible inclusion in the police reserve programs as could be worked out with the Community Services Officer, and possibly undertaking the responsibility for delivering future City communications with the residents . Motion by Mayor Haik and seconded by Councilman Sauer to request a letter of appreciation for delivering the public service announce- ments to the residents be sent to the Civil Defense Reserve. Motion carried unanimously.
