Mayor <br />Faust stated under his leadership, the City has received $31,000,000 in grants. <br />Mr. Bird asked if the retreat location in Brooklyn Park was primary to what was developed and <br />whether it was critical to hold the meeting outside St. Anthony. Mr. Bird was invited to come to <br />the April 21, Coffee with the Council. Mr. Bird explained he is concerned that the jaunt to <br />Brooklyn Park cost $25,000 - $30,000. <br />Mr. Bird asked why they used Dorsey & Whitney instead of the City Attorney. Mayor Faust <br />stated they are the City Attorney. Mr. Bird asked why the meeting could not have been in St. <br />Anthony and referenced Apollo 13. Mr. Bird stated he thinks Councilmember Stille gets it <br />wrong on that and he does not see Council listening to people. Mr. Bird stated he recently met <br />with Chief Mangseth regarding an issue, the Chief listened, and the issue was resolved. <br />Mr. Bird stated his opinion that the appointment of Councilmember Randle, who received 4% of <br />the vote vs. another person who got 29% of the vote, is not listening to the residents. He would <br />like to hear Council and Mayor thoughts on these issues. <br />IX. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS — NONE. <br />X.
