I I I Council Meeting Minutes May 14, 1996 Page 3 Council Business Benke presented the resolution for support of cooperative participation in the North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition. The Community Development Directors from New Brighton, Mounds View, Arden Hills, Shoreview, and Roseville have met since January to share information and discuss common issues associated with I-35W. In addition, the North Metro Mayors Association is in the process of creating a coalition of northern suburbs which bound 1- 35W. Benke feels these two committees should work closely to ensure development plans are coordinated. Also, the committees should work with MnDOT and the Met Council so that any improvements are consistent with our development desires. This is an activity which is consistent with our collaboration ventures. Community Development Kevin Locke said the directors feel the five Councils should adopt a resolution of support. Efforts have begun with the Met Council and Ramsey County for the creation of a common GIS database and funding is being sought.

Park and Recreation Director Maurie Anderson presented the request for furnishings for the Family Service Center (FSC) Congregate Dining Program. School District 621 intents to begin the congregate dining service on June 17. Staff attempted to keep the furnishings required for this service as low as possible and still provide a high quality and efficient dining program. There are still a few unresolved issues, therefore, staff recommends a 10% a contingency in the budget. Many items being purchased will help to secure additional rentals for the Community Room. Samuelson asked if they would serve meals in the gym. Anderson said that on occasion when a paying party rents the community room, dining will be moved to the gym and portable tables and chairs will be setup. On the average, this could happen once or twice a week. Samuelson asked if the cleanup of the gym would be an issue, and could other parties use the gym. Anderson feels the cleanup is not an issue, and anyone could use the gym for such a usage. Benke asked if they could seat seniors in the upper level area. Anderson feels the community room and the gym adequately serves the program. Eichers asked if the school district decided to discontinue the program, would the community then be committed to providing this service. Anderson said the program would not continue without school district participation. Fulton said the City views this program as an initial five-year commitment.
