City Council Minutes Page 3 <br /> January 3,2016 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Mayor Dietz stated he would like Council to meet with the School Board before <br /> summer. <br /> Council recessed at 6:40 to go into work session and reconvened at 6:43 p.m. <br /> 9.1 Discuss, Schedule Council/Staff Retreat <br /> Council selected February 8 for the Council/staff retreat meeting date. They preferred <br /> meeting facilitation by staff. <br /> 9.2 State High School Champion Signage <br /> Mayor Dietz stated he would like to see some type of signage in a visible area of the <br /> city recognizing the high school football team state championship. He stated the <br /> signage could be for other championship titles too. <br /> Councilmember Wagner stated she likes the idea but has concerns of who to <br /> recognize, such as an individual who wins in track. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated it would apply to teams. <br /> Mr. Portner stated the signage could be included in the wayfinding program. He <br /> further discussed another option of installing a permanent digital reader board that can <br /> be programmed with time limits noting other events could be advertised as well. <br /> Mayor Dietz liked the idea but also wanted a permanent sign for the teams located <br /> with the reader board sign. <br /> Council consensus was to explore the reader board option and a policy for signage <br /> language and allowances. <br /> 9.3 Great River Regional Library Branch Agreement <br /> Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br /> Mayor Dietz noted some cities had concerns with certain language in the agreement <br /> that made it seem like the library could back out at any time. He stated this language is <br /> aimed toward smaller cities in order to get them to make some building improvements, <br /> which they haven't done in many years. He noted this is not an issue in Elk River <br /> because we have an active library board that plans and budgets for needed repairs. <br /> Mayor Dietz expressed concerns with No. 3 on page 2 of the contract. He stated the <br /> city owns the building so we should be allowed to go into our own building at any time <br /> without it being stated in an agreement. <br /> Mayor Dietz expressed concerns with the criteria for Scale of Services Delivered in the <br /> Addendum on page 8. He noted the Elk River Library is in Category 3 and is shocked <br /> P U w E R E 0 e r <br /> It-4MUREI <br />
