COMMUNITY FORUM. <br />7 Ms. Mary Jackson, 3605 37`h Avenue, thanked the City for improvements made under the ADA. <br />8 She requested a description of the ADA rights also be included on the website, how to make a <br />9 complaint, and how complaints are processed. She suggested training be held for all City staff on <br />10 ADA compliance, noting the DOJ would be a good resource for federal laws. She believed there <br />11 are many cities much further down the road than St. Anthony and she would like to see the <br />12 policies and procedures practiced in the City. She would like Council to review the <br />13 Comprehensive Planning process and reach out to people covered by non - discrimation laws and <br />14 include them in the process. <br />15 <br />16 Ms. Nancy Robinett, 3408 31 s` Avenue NE, appeared regarding affordable housing and the old <br />17 bowling alley site, noting it is very small and highlights the issue that St. Anthony has very little <br />18 space for any development. The site is owned by the City. She indicated SAVCA provided a <br />19 statement to the Planning Commission to forward to the City Council on the lack of affordable <br />20 housing components in the Lowry Grove redevelopment plan. There will be a talk on Affordable <br />21 housing on February 28 at the High School at 6:30 p.m. <br />22 <br />23 Councilmember Stille agreed the bowling alley site is small and if some affordable housing <br />24 could be put on that site, the land would be donated and TIF would also be available to a <br />25 developer. He suggested sending an RFP to developers and asking the Met Council for the <br />26 additional funding. He felt the Bremer Site could also be considered although the City does not <br />27 own that property. <br />28 <br />29 Mayor Faust stated maybe an RFP is not a bad idea and then go forward to the Met Council for <br />30 funding. <br />31 <br />32 IX.
