The League of <br />Minnesota Cities developed a. model travel policy for cities to consider and the City Council <br />discussed the model policy in a work session held on November IS, 200S. Changes discussed in <br />the work session have been incorporated into the policy. The policy is now ready for adoption. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig suggested striking the bullet point referencing the sister city relationship, <br />as it may be too specific for an overall policy. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to adopt the City <br />COlUlcil Out-of-State Travel Policy with the fol.1owing bullet item removed: Whether the elected <br />official has been specifically assigned by the Council to visit another city for the purpose of <br />establishing a goodwill relationship such as a /lsister-city" relationship. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

As the City continues to acquire properties in the Highway 10 corridor it <br />will determine which ones will continue to operate at a profit or breakeven point for the City. To <br />ensure that these buildIngs remain in service staff is recommending that the' CIty retain a <br />property manager for the buildings along Highway 10. The current proposal would be to hire <br />Premier Commercial Properties,.Inc. to op~rate the NAU building per the terms described in the <br />propQsed c.ontract. The building currently houses a storage operation for boats and RV's. The <br />front of the building could b~ leased out for an office/showroom user. The Property Manager <br />would be in place to market the vacant space and to manage existing tenants. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich advised he will be making changes to the agreement, as a more thorough <br />document laying out the relationship has been drafted.
