#7: Boards and Commissions <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman reported there are two vacancies on the Economic Development <br />Authority, four on the Charter Commission and now one on the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated he personally feels that Councilmember Anderson should not <br />be serving on the Charter. That means that we would have to pick the other four candidates. <br /> <br />Council asked that staff write thank you letters to the past Commission members. <br /> <br />It was noted there was a problem with the dates published and we are reopening the interest <br />period. <br /> <br />Council said to advertise for all three commissions - get with the Cable TV people to talk about <br />it on cable - maybe do a show telling what each of the three commissions does. There is also a <br />special newsletter scheduled for April 28 - publishing the vacancies in there. <br /> <br />#8: Tri-City Community Center Study <br /> <br />Cotmcilmember Zimmerman stated that if everything is going over in Andover, he is not so sure <br />he is in favor of this study either. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson noted that Anoka is not seeming to be contributing. <br /> <br />Council directed staff to find out what Andover is doing. <br /> <br />#8a: Discussion of North Star Corridor Study <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman gave an update of the North Star Corridor Study. He has been <br />talking to Len Levine and he (Levine) wants to check with a group that has done a study related <br />to the rail study but not hired by the North Star Corridor. The group is based out of California <br />and they can do ridership projections. Mr. Norman asked for that in writing but did not talk to <br />Mr. Levine again until late this afternoon. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen feels there will not be enough people ride the train to have a station <br />in both Ramsey and Anoka. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman added that he has no idea of the cost or timeframe of this study. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmerman felt that it is important to keep looking at this issue. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman stated that we do not have 30 days. He added that he did not have any more <br />information tonight so he may have to call Council with info over the next couple of days. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session - March 6, 2000 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
