Consensus of the Council was that the City Attorney should review this agreement. If an <br />architecture has been paid $500, we need to find out if this building is being restored to <br />that historical period. If they are refurbishing it for businesses they think should be in <br />there, that may not be what the City Council wants. Staff was directed to get a written <br />report on the Old Town Hall. <br /> <br />#2: Twenty-Five Year City Anniversary <br /> <br />Council discussed when the anniversary should be - the date of the City's actual <br />anniversary is in November, however, it was unanimously felt the celebration should be <br />at another time - August or September. Mid-September was suggested, however, it was <br />felt that the "Anniversary Committee" should pick the date. <br /> <br />Some suggestions for activities were craft show, antique car show, old village, etc. <br />Possibly music entertainment on Friday night, Saturday could focus on historical things, a <br />parade, activities for children, and then on Sunday, an ecumenical service. <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen suggested it may be a good idea to tie in the dedication of <br />the senior housing with the anniversary. She also suggested the name for the senior <br />housing of "Woes-be-Gone". <br /> <br />Mr. Norman stated there is a lake near his home that does not have a name - he suggested <br />a "name the lake" contest also. <br /> <br />Council directed staff to contact other cities to find out the cost for a two/three day <br />celebration. <br /> <br />#3: LMC Performance Measurement Consortium <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman disseminated a handout entitled Comparative Performance <br />Measurement Consortium and stated that it has to do with performance measurement. <br />This is offered through the League of Minnesota Cities. There will probably be more and <br />more requests to meet for local performance aid so we will need to adopt some measures <br />for performance. There is a cost to participate in this study even though there is a grant <br />available. The state grant is in the amount of $1,750, so the City's share would be <br />$1,850. He stated he would put this item on the August 11, Council agenda for <br />discussion. <br /> <br />#4: EDA/EDC Joint Work Session <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated he has been working since February with the <br />Economic Development Commission (EDC) about where they want to go or where they <br />should go. He stated they would like to meet with the City Council in September. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to schedule a joint City Council and EDC meeting for 7:00 <br />p.m., Monday, September 14, 1998. <br /> <br />City Council Wok Session/August 3, 1998 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
