I I I Council Meeting Minutes January 23, 1996 Page 4 State of the City Address. continued Developing better ways to manage our City will continue to be a priority of the Council. We will also be focusing on developing future leaders for our community through our Leadership New Brighton project being lead by the Public Policy Committee in collaboration with the Chamber. We hope to involve more residents in the learning process needed to guide us in the future. As one feature of the effort, I am proposing that we establish a Council member of the Month program. This program would involve the appointment of community leaders to serve a one month term as an ex-officio member of the Council. The appointee would be invited to attend all meetings and work sessions of the Council, receive and be involved in discussion of all reports and agenda materials, and, work with the Council on regional and state issues. Our expectation is that this program will both help more people understand the nature of city decision making problems and processes, and, develop a pool of people better prepared to step in as elected council members, While we are concentrating on fixing our own problems, we will also be working with Senator Novak, Representatives Pellow and Carlson, Ramsey County Commissioner Thomas, and Dist. 621 and 282 School Board members on family and youth problems, tax reform and funding issues. We will do our best to help defme the questions and opportunities so we can all understand our choices. We will do so without regard to partisan politics between now and the November 5 election. IT IS TIME! It is time to get on with community problem solving. It is time, also, to summarize by saying that the State of our City is excellent. We are prepared to face our challenges and to seize our opportunities. With your continued support, I will do what I can to ensure that the message a year from now will be even more positive. Thank you for your help in making New Brighton my preferred place to live, to work and to do business.
