Ramsey Councilmember Haas Steffen stated that the City has not met with the residents <br />and is uncertain as to community support. <br /> <br />School Board Member Manning suggested the least expensive way to develop <br />programming is through the use of school facilities and the community education <br />program. Andover City Manager Fursman noted that city subsidy to the community <br />education program does not lower the cost of the program. School Board Member <br />Maturing commented on community education programming. School Board Member <br />Peterson stated that when the District spends money on anything but basic education, <br />boardmembers receive comments and complaints. Anoka Mayor Beberg stated that it is <br />incumbent upon the group to get citizens in their respective communities to "buy in" to <br />the program. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen agreed with an earlier comment that a few of the people at <br />this evening's meeting could sit down and talk things over and come back to the larger <br />group with a proposal. She also suggested that it would be nice to have Anoka County <br />involved in the process. <br /> <br />Andover Councilmember Orttel commented on southern suburbs starting their own bus <br />services. <br /> <br />School Board Member Sullivan suggested looking at a policy of charging groups that are <br />trying to raise money for a valuable cause. <br /> <br />Ramsey Councilmember Haas Steffen felt confident that if Dr. Giroux and the three <br />mayors "put their heads together" that they would come up with a plan. <br /> <br />Dr. Giroux stated that them are no plans for a fifth high school and provided information <br />of the challenge before the District due to the number of students, and finally, deferred <br />his chair to Donna Studer to meet with the three mayors. <br /> <br />Anoka Councilmember Weaver expressed a thank you to the school district for hosting <br />the meeting. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />The joint meeting of representatives of the Anoka-Hennepin School District #11, and the <br />Cities of Andover, Anoka and Ramsey adjourned at 8:45 p.m. <br /> <br /> J~~ Norman <br /> · 5tt~~inistrat°r, <br />Joint Meeting/May}l~; 1998 <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />Ramsey <br /> <br /> <br />
