Chair Frischman said that we need to look through history, current <br /> needs and issues and when we feel confident, make a <br /> recommendation. <br /> VIII. Trails, Bike and Walk-ways <br /> Chair Frischman commented that this discussion was covered tonight with our <br /> recommendations above. <br /> IX. Announcements <br /> A. Council Report — Council Member Burg (sitting in for Jacobsen) <br /> • The Council has talked about going paperless and the Council has <br /> now received iPads. Staff worked hard at deciding which piece of <br /> technology would work best for the Council. They just started using <br /> the iPads the first of the year. <br /> • The Council and Team Management Leaders had a team building <br /> meeting the second week of January and worked through getting a <br /> work plan for the year. <br /> • We talked with Pulte homes and also had discussion about API <br /> expanding. The View decided in October not to add any more <br /> apartments. These are all quality projects but Council needs to <br /> decide if each one will help meet the financial goals necessary for <br /> The New Brighton Exchange. <br /> • The Neighborhood meetings are coming up the next four <br /> Thursdays. Totem Pole is the first meeting. It is the same program <br /> at each neighborhood center. There is an update on The New <br /> Brighton Exchange planned and a question and answer session. <br /> Chair Frischman said that attending a meeting that is not in your <br /> neighborhood is a good way to hear concerns, comments, <br /> and/or positive feedback from residents in another part of the <br /> City. It is a great learning opportunity. <br /> • Council has not yet made any decisions on Commission Liaisons. <br /> That will happen in April. <br /> • Council is taking Commission applications right now and making <br /> decision in March. <br /> B. Chair Updates <br /> Chair Frischman encouraged anyone interested in being on the Parks, <br /> Recreation and Environmental Commission, or any other commission in <br /> the City, to apply now. <br /> C. Commission Reports on Parks <br /> Lundberg: Driftwood/Hansen <br /> Nothing on Driftwood. She is a runner and is very pleased with how <br /> quickly the sidewalks were cleared at Hansen Park. There is a stretch <br /> between the bridge and the building that is very icy. Parks Superintendent <br /> Wolla will let Public Works know. <br /> 4 <br />
