Mr. Bob Isaacson, Staff Planner, Hennepin County, spoke about the intent,
purpose and funding distribution of the Act.
Councilman Stauffer asked whether the funding is definite.
Mr. Isaacson responded that it's a Hennepin County "urban county" application
and that last year no proposals were rejected. The County works with the
communities to eliminate ineligible proposals. He then listed a number of
projects which were funded under the 1975 application: bikeways, walkways,
park improvements, housing rehabilitation programs, water filtration improve-
ments, and land acquisition for housing and parks.
i Mr. Rymarchick of the Planning Board then suggested a long range plan for the
City, to be funded from the grant.
Mayor Miedtke commented on a bill before the legislature which would give the
Metropolitan Council the power to require communities to make such long range
plans.
Councilman Sauer mentioned a request from Carol Folstad of 3609 Downers Drive
regarding spending the grant on the beautification of the area around the
intersection of Kenzie Terrace -St. Anthony Blvd. -Silver Lake Road.
There being no other opinions on the expenditure of the funds, the Council
discussed other matters.
City Manager Dulgar mentioned the appointment of a new assistant liquor manager,
Diane LeClaire. He also advised that the City should hold fast on their latest
offer to the 49'rs Union, representing the Public Works Dept. by adopting a
resolution supporting the M.A.M.A. negotiating committee.
Motion by Councilman Sauer, seconded by Councilman Stauffer to adjourn.
Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:40.
