7) 8) 9) /jmt workShOp meetings to one or two members of the Council or whether the entire Council was int~eSt~d in participating. Precedent to this Negotiating Committee meeting, I had put togethei: a proposed rotation within the departments that included all of the Councilmembers with the intent that when each of the meetings are done, then Council would be able to sit down ii~dividualty with various department heads and supervisors to discuss areas of improvement. At the Negotiating Committee meeting it was suggested that it may be easiest ~for ~ member of two to complete these tasks rather than involving the entire Council. I need direction as to which you would choose to proceed with. The original propos0d rotation is attached for your review. FlintwOod Hills Park Survey: At the Thursday, April 9, 1992 Park and Recreation Conu~i, '~siorl meeting, residents of the Flintwood Hills and Ramsey Terrace neighborhoods were m~ited to hear the Commission's proposals on development of the Flintwood Hills Park and P~k Trail. They are pleased to report that there was a reasonable turnout and every ore o~ the residents expressed not only their approval of the development of the park area bui a d~sire to assist with the labor where needed by the City of Ramsey. Tangential to this, ~he Council had authorized Community Development Block Grant funds towards the dev~elol~ment of this park. The Anoka County Administrator of these funds has report¢g treat it is her opinion that it is not an appropriate expenditure unless the neighb6rho0d is below certain income limits. Therefore, it is the Staffs intent to conduct a survey I of the neighborhood in order to define whether we meet this guideline. The residents in ~tttendance at the Park and Recreation Commission meeting also volunteered to walk th~s survey through their neighborhood. The above certainly is a strong indication that th~ Fllntwood Hills neighborhood is very desirous of providing recreational opporttmitie~ for their children off Dysprosium and other side streets. You will note within the agefida ~acket that the Flintwood Hills trail is part of the bid award for restoration of the trunk sOWer ieasement and will be constructed this spring if ratified by the Council. Code EnforCement: Council recently was provided with a memorandum from me regarding change~ m task assignments to complete our code enforcement acnvlnes. The changes mentiOned ih this memorandum were initiated on Thursday, April 9, 1992. Council will be kept apl~rise21 of progress, or lack thereof. AFSCME Qontract Proposal: At the Wednesday, April 8, 1992 Negotiating Committee meeting with members of the AFSCME unit, a new proposal was presented by AFSCME to the 12ommittee. This is attached for your review.
