<br />Mayor Ramsey suggested getting rid of the membership to Lower Rum River Water <br />Management Organization, and the Highway 10/169 coalition - that's done. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich replied that it is not done yet but that we have met to talk about <br />doing things cheaper. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Miller asked about funding the environmental expo. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone asked if there was a way to rethink about how we are funding <br />that event. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look inquired if we have put in the budget discussions about doing the <br />Ramsey Resident in conjunction with other things. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson stated that we have talked about different ideas for raising money for <br />different events. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig asked about a fee for vendors in the expos. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that we had quite a few participants. It would be good to <br />send a letter to them and say we are looking for 36 to 40 advertisers - first come - first <br />serve, and see if there is any interest. <br /> <br />MAYOR COUNCIL & STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />1) Realtor for Two Acres next to Coborn's <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that with regard to the two acres next to Coborn's, staff <br />has been talking with a Realtor and he would like a 3.5% selling fee. He would bring a <br />buyer to us. Mr. Ulrich stated that he will work out the details with Attorney Goodrich <br />and bring this item back for action on the regular Council agenda. <br /> <br />2) Legal Firms <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that the Finance Committee made a recommendation to <br />interview two law firms - Randall & Goodrich and Barna Guzy. It's been suggested that <br />we would bring in additional firms for an interview and we can do that. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that we have had a request to look at three more first. It <br />would be three additional firms and it will give us a better idea of services. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig felt it was important to have firms that are located closely to the <br />area. If we are looking at someone in St. Paul, he would not be interested. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session - May 5, 2009 <br />Page 13 of 14 <br />
