SUB J:
Meeting of February 26, 200!
Just a few thoughts regarding the February 26th meeting.
2001 Budget: Bruce has been on vacation and will return tomorrow (Thursday),
and xve will present to you our budget thoughts directly on Monday evening. It
is my expectation that we will present to you our tentative itemized list onhow
to address the budget shortlhll created when the levy was passed at its approved
amount. It is not. my expectation that you will make any decisions Monday
evening; however, we will be seeking some direction and/or guidance on -
individual issues and/or the conceptual direction we have taken. I have full
confidence that you will be able to do so having worked through the list with
Bruce for a while.
Planning Commission Interviews: I know Linda has been in contact with Kate
on these interviews and I have not had much involvement in establishing these.
Visitor PresentatiOns: Pau! Moline, Plapmer for Carver County. Will be present
to give a report on the document entitled, "Carver County Quality of Life
Report." I have instructed Ivlr. Moline to keep his comments brief, I would hope
that you might think about particular issues that you have regarding the County
and its role in land use in areas outside the incorporated portions of our County.
City Manager Task Plan: The City Manager's Task Plan will be Presented for
you to consider and review. Again, given the workload we have been facing in
2001, I want. you, especially given_the fact that we have es~se_ntially_three new
members, to take some time to read it and then Linda, Steve, and I can answer
any questions the newer members of the Council may have as to the
methodology implied in creating this Task Plan. This Task Plan will appear on
your agenda in March for you to finalize.
