MINUTES g <br />STATUS OF LEGISLATION <br />• r <br />May 4 , 1981. -~,. ,~,~. <br />Perovich filled the Commission in on the status of legislation. He said he had <br />attending hearings at the Capitol on Tuesday and Thursday. It appears that the <br />DFL is trying to keep the total bonding program close to what the Governor is <br />recommending. This would put our request close to $12 million. <br />Bosanko said that we will probably not be able to use our priority. rating <br />system when deciding on funding requests. <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br />No public presentations. <br />Bosanko stated that on May 30 at the Hyland Park Chalet there will be a <br />Commission Workshop. Nethereut said it would be worthwhle for the .new <br />Commision members to attend. A copy of the meeting notice will be sent to <br />them.. - <br />Bosanko also said that a special park district forum is being held in Chicago <br />starting June 25. 'He questioned if some Commission members should plan on <br />attending. Nethereut said that he'll investigate the matter and let the <br />Commission know more about it. <br />Nethereut said the next MPOSC meeting is scheduled for May 18. He also <br />commented that we do not have the volume of plans and business that we normally <br />have. This may have something to do with the legislative request. Perovich <br />suggested using the meeting time as a general discussion session. Perhaps the <br />CIP could reviewed at that meeting and thoughts exchanged on how to handle the <br />future priority ratings. Future tours of the MPOSC could also be suggested. <br />Nethereut said that we have four new members and four old members. He said <br />perhaps we should start thinking about the annual social get together. <br />Wirtanen recommended that a resolution be written for the members that ,just <br />left the Commission: Dick Carroll and Naomi Loper. Perovich agreed and said <br />that any Commissioner who is interested could do so. <br />Nethereut informed the Commission that Marty Jessen, Chief Planner, will be <br />leaving on May 15. Perovich, on behalf of the Commission, thanked him for his <br />excellent work and service to the MPOSC. <br />Motion was made by Banitt to adjourn. Patty seconded and the motion carried.. <br />
