MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager
DATE: February 26, 1997
SUBJ: City Council Work Session Items
The following is presented for each of the attached enclosures or lack thereof
1. Southwest Metro Transit Update and Loan Request, Colleen Dockendorf: Attached.
2. 1997 Departmental Goals: The same enclosures as submitted at the first of the year are
attached. Charles Folch is unable to attend this meeting and will present the Public Works
Department's goals on March 17.
3. Community Development Block Grant: Attached is Kate's report. Generally we attempt
to provide the city council with as many options as possible. In light of the fact that
Hennepin County has taken a position that the only program that they will consider eligible
for Community Development Block Grant funding is housing only one option is presented.
Included in Kate's report are various types of housing projects which Hennepin County
would consider, i.e. rental assistance (not considered as we're only assured of getting CBDG
monies for 1997), halfway houses, and the option chosen by Kate — homeowner down
payment loans.
4. State of the City Address, Strategy: Nancy will attempt to send council members her
thoughts prior to Monday evening.
5. Commission Interviews: As can be seen from the listing of proposed work sessions, all
Monday evenings have been filled through May. Commission appointments expire on April
and May I'`. Accordingly, we need to set an off - Monday to interview potential commission
members (assumes the city council wishes to continue the current procedure of interviewing
all commission members). Does the council wish to continue this policy?
6. Review Budget & Revenue Report Formats: See attached report from Pam Snell.
