15 Directors of the Northwest Youth and Family Services . A
16 fundraiser was planned for April 18th with the °sale of almost

19 Councilmember Fleming expressed her disappointment at finding
20 out about the Metropolitan Transit bill from the newspapers.

25 Minneapolis . This route was established without Park Board
6 permission and the Park Board is opposed to this practice. The
legislation has already received a hearing and is processing
onto the Senate floor for discussion. Its chief sponsor is a
29 senator from south Minneapolis .
30
31 Councilmember Fleming felt this information should have been
32 tracked more closely by the representative and senator for St .
33 Anthony Village and that the Council should have been kept
34 apprised.
35
36 Mayor Ranallo requested that residents of Autumn Woods be
37 advised of this legislation.

14 Some members of the Council expressed their concerns with
15 the delays involved with the CUB project .
16

18 issue of the CUB store project on the agenda of the April
19 27th City Council meeting. He wants this on record so if
20 the project is not developed the City Council will bear
21 no blame. He also requested that a representative of
22 Super Valu be in attendance at this meeting to address
23 the concerns expressed.
24
25 The City Manager felt some of the delay is due to the
need to draft many documents , relocate tenants already in
Apache Plaza and complete the numerous plans required by
28 this project .

31 some comments in the community which reflect doubt that
