<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />January 28, 1986 <br /> <br />Williams reported on the Ramsey County League of Local Govern- <br />ments' meeting during which Sinda presented New Brighton's and <br />other suburbs' case for permitting the court system to remain as <br />it currently exists; Williams felt unless there was a unified <br />opinion going into the legislature, the consolidation would be <br />unsuccessful. Williams stated the court presented some <br />interesting cost information, and felt there should be some <br />middle ground. <br /> <br />Schmidt felt the City should follow the issue carefully. <br /> <br />Benke felt we should perhaps talk with Mr. McCarty, also. <br /> <br />Williams further stated that Ramsey County is thinking about a <br />service center where the County would offer all kinds of <br />services, and Roseville has offered the site for such a center. <br /> <br />Schmidt updated council regarding the sale of Group W Cable <br />Television; stated it appears that the Daniels Cablevision <br />(Denver) will be the company to own and operate the system in the <br />north suburbs, subject to the cities approving the sale and <br />having the right to entertain municipal ownership. Schmidt noted <br />that the Commission is going through an inquiry on Daniels and <br />will provide a recommendation. <br /> <br />Benke provided councilmembers with copies of two reports prepared <br />by task forces for School District #621; one a Financial Report <br />Task ~orce, the other a Long Range Facilities Task Force. If <br />council desired to react or comment, that could be considered at <br />a future date. <br /> <br />Sinda reported that the County Board has agreed to let the City <br />use the park fees in Long Lake Regional Park. <br /> <br />Sinda anno~nced that Ramsey County has been designated an <br />entitlement jurisdiction for HUD funds; it is anticipated that <br />approximately $911,000 will be available each year; Sinda is one <br />of seven (two elected officials, four administrators, and Judy <br />'Caron from Ramsey County) appointed to a committee to develop <br />criteria for the distribution of the funds. Sinda advised it <br />would be worthwhile for staff and council to consider what types <br />of projects can be used; the funds must provide for low- to <br />moderate-income people for which a definition has not yet been <br />established. <br /> <br />Benke noted that New 8righton would be competing with other <br />Ramsey County suburbs for the funds; Sinda confirmed that state- <br />ment. <br /> <br />Page Nine <br /> <br />RCLLG Meeting - <br />Court Consolida- <br />tion <br /> <br />Cable Television <br /> <br />#621 Task Force <br />Reports <br /> <br />LLRP - Fees <br /> <br />CDBG Funds <br />
