I I I Council Meeting Minutes February 9, 1988 Gunderman also relates to new driven rather services can approach as to expressed concern for open space (page 151) as it development and Qelieves making the programs user- than user-serviced needs to be discussed (how many we provide without changing the philosophical what we can and cannot provide?). Benke stated we do not want to get too specific in this document; need to decide if we want to explore an area of interest; may wish to ask the Park Board and the Planning Commission for their con- sideration and input. Locke stated the Plan is a living document that will change as the city changes its approach to problems and some things (community center and Old Highway 8 Corridor Plan) will be done in much more depth than in the Plan. Benke stated a review of how we pay for all of the programs we provide should be surfaced either at the Team Building/Strategic Planning workshop or the Town Hall Meeting. Locke stated the Five Year Financial Plan and the Capital Improve- ments Program are companion pieces to the Comprehensive Plan and address the financial questions. Regarding the Ramsey County park issue, Gunderman asked if anything should be written into the Plan as to what the city wants or does not want. Sinda suggested the city's concerns regarding a County Operating Board would be stronger in the form of a resolution. With regard to the Town Hall meeting, Benke indicated the proposed topics look good but understands the topics will not be finalized until the Team Building workshop February 20 and 21, 1988. Although it may be too late this year, Gunderman suggested the Town Hall Meeting agenda include an update from each Board/Commis- sion/Committee (it may simply be a hand-out). To expand on that, Benke felt we should consider a handbook that catalogs year-end reports which could include all goal statements; and we may wish to reconsider the idea of getting the chairpersons of all Boards/Commissions/Committees together and using the Team Building report as an exploration tool. The date for the Town Hall Meeting was set for March 19, 1988.
