Councilmember Elvig suggested the possibility of conducting this type of study elsewhere in the <br />City as well. He noted there are a couple of areas that could be targeted. <br /> <br />5) Urban Village Tour Findings <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated Loudi officials will be visiting the City on February 22nd. The City's <br />Sister-City document, which is tied in with the Ramsey Foundation, needs to be brought forward <br />and acted on. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman indicated this will be added to a future agenda. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman reviewed that a rough draft of the two urban village tours last spring <br />to the Phoenix area of Arizona and Los Angeles, California, were discussed during a work <br />session held on January 10, 2006. Staff collected notes and would like to present the final draft <br />of the document for Council consideration. He noted the City Travel Policy has already been <br />completed. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to approve the final draft of the Urban Village Tour Findings <br />as presented. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated one big revelation of the urban village tours was that Kierland had <br />tried to move forward for several years and failed until it was run as a contiguous complex. <br />When the entire complex was put together it became very successful. He continues to wonder <br />how Town Center will be mn as separate entities; this should continue to be considered. <br /> <br />MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec announced the following: · Loudi officials will be visiting the City on February 22ha. <br /> · Minnesota League of Cities Elected Official Training on February 17th <br /> · Mayors Prayer Breakfast on Friday, March 17th <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman indicated there will be a luncheon and meeting at Greenhaven on <br />February 22na at 11:30 a.m. with the City of Anoka and Anoka County to draft a plan for the <br />Washington D.C. request for Highway 10.
