City Council Minutes September 27, 1999 Page 3 e 5. Open Mike Lyle Talbot, 18771 Robinson Street, Dayton - stated that he owns property on 193rd Street. He indicated that the city has removed the street and he now has no access to his property. He further indicated that his property is being used as a catch basin for water runoff, which is causing his property to erode. He requested that the runoff problem be eliminated before winter, as he does not wish sand and salt to be sitting on his property. He questioned whether the city would contact the developer to correct the situation. The City Administrator noted that public right-of-way still exists for access and that staff would contact him and work with him to correct the drainage situation. 6.1. Request for Funds bv Initiative Foundation Director of Economic Development Paul Steinman indicated that information had been distributed to the City Council in June regarding the Central Minnesota Initiative Fund's request for funds. He noted that a letter to council from staff indicated that if there were no response from the council regarding this request staff would send a letter to the organization denying their request. He indicated that staff did not receive a response and therefore denied the request. He further indicated that the EDA and City Council both contributed $2,500 to the Central Minnesota Initiative Fund in 1997. e John Kalizooski of the Central Minnesota Initiative Fund indicated that the organization has changed its name to the Initiative Foundation. He updated the City Council on foundation activities and explained that the organization is a regional foundation involved with communities and economic development in 14 counties, including Sherburne County. Councilmember Dietz questioned what other municipalities within Sherburne County have made contributions to this organization. Mr. Kalizooski indicated that he did not have that information. It was the consensus of the council to continue this issue indefinitely until information can be provided as to what municipalities in Sherburne County are supporting this program financially. 6.3. Consider Release of Arts Council Funds The City Administrator suggested that the council continue this issue until adequate documentation is received from the Arts Council showing expenditures from the year 1999. COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO CONTINUE THIS ISSUE TO THE OCTOBER 25, 1999, MEETING PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION IS RECEIVED REGARDING 1999 EXPENDITURES. COUNCILMEMBER MOTIN SECONDED THE MOTION.
