City Administrator Norman suggested it is difficult as this property is tied up in probate. <br />It would be desirable to develop - the City would use its powers to develop. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked if it's River's Bend property or the Laws property. He suggested <br />this could be put on the next agenda - and with regard to the River's Bend property - he <br />wondered if we have been fair to the two developers. If the City is not using this land for <br />parks, should we give them something for that land? <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen stated that the City has promised them access to their <br />property, <br /> <br />Staff was asked to find out from Tim Yantos at Anoka County if a traffic study has been <br />done for the area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired what it would cost to pay Rick Foster and Art <br />Raudio for access onto T.H. #47. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that someone did an appraisal and it was way down - $9,000 - <br />$10,000. <br /> <br />Staff was directed to put HRA Housing on the next agenda for discussion. <br /> <br />#8: Committee Reorganization <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that the City has a Fire Board and there has been some <br />discussion about adding some duties and changing the name of the Board to the Public <br />Safety Commission. The would involve changing a little of the representation - keeping <br />City Council representation but adding someone from the law enforcement. The other <br />change contemplated is the Road and Bridge Committee to the Public Works Committee. <br />This change is not because we will change duties, but because of the things the <br />Committee deals with. However, that would require the City Attorney to draft <br />something. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec felt these changes would be a good idea. With regard to the Public Safety <br />Committee, he felt it would be a benefit to make sure we have someone from our own <br />Police Department. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman suggested that our own safety officers have input through staff but this <br />would be a sounding board - there would be some other input. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen stated that it seems the Public Safety Committee would <br />overlap with the Road and Bridge Committee. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman felt it would not as we would just bring in someone from a police <br />department. The Public Works Committee would not do anything differently than the <br /> <br /> Council Work Session/June 2, 1998 <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
