Councilmember Hendriksen stated that is not a bad thing. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman stated that it allows us to be able to look at this kind of thing. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated he would like to see everything that is in the plan. He added <br />that staff is always coming with new things - all of these things end up being a surprise. He <br />stated that he cannot support all of these things concurrently. <br /> <br />Counci hnember Anderson stated that they have come in the middle of this "pipeline"- T.H. #47, <br />the property west of Ramsey Boulevard, the senior housing project, city hall expansion, etc. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman pointed out that all of these things, except for the senior housing project, is in the <br />CIP. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested that Councilmembers who want to should sit down with Finance <br />Officer Lund for a half a day and find out how all this financial business works. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman stated that the property owner keeps asking him if we are interested in that land. <br />Mayor Gamec stated that a good part of owning that property is for visionary purposes. <br />Discussion ensued relating to design of the building. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he is not in favor of condemning McLean's property so <br />we can have a better vision of City Hall. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman stated that he is talking about the other property - Elvines - they are willing sellers. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmennan asked why are we talking about buying more property when we <br />already have 25 to 30 acres. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated that if McLean's want to sell property, then fine, but he <br />would not vote to condemn someone's property to get a better look at City Hall. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman reiterated that we are looking at the Elvine property and they want to sell. <br /> <br />Counci hnember Hendriksen asked what we need more property for? <br /> <br />Mr. Norman responded for better access, new front door, new Council Chambers, etc. <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated that he always thought the expansion was going to the south. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman suggested having someone draw sketches of what we are talking about. He added <br />that he will tell the Elvine's that we do not know yet what the plan may be. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session - March 15, 1999 <br /> Page 9 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
