City of River MEMORANDUM Item # 7.1 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Pat Klaers, City Administrator February 26, 2001 Meeting Schedule The City Council is reminded that on March 1, 2001, at 4:00 p.m., there will be a meeting in the Elk River Training Room of a citizen community center committee. This committee is a result of the Operation ER town meeting that was held last fall. As you may recall, approximately 115 individuals attended this town meeting and identified a community center as a number one need of the community. This citizen committee has met a number of times. Councilmembers Motin and Tveite attended one of the recent meetings, and I attended the last two. The Council is requested to consider calling the Monday, March 26, 2001 meeting for 5:00 p.m. If this is acceptable, dinner will be provided and Rusty Fifield from Ehlers will begin his presentation while Council (and staff) are eating. Rusty is all right with this approach as the first part of his work with the Council on March 26 is simply giving information with a PowerPoint presentation. Rusty has indicated that he needs about two hours with the City Council for the first meeting in our Key Financial Strategies process...The reason for this request to meet at 5:00 p.m. (rather than our normal time of 6:00 p.m.) is that the School Board is joining us for a joint meeting at 7:00 p.m. Earlier this month, the Mayor, Finance Director Lori Johnson, and I attended a YMCA staff meeting when the 2001 Elk River YMCA study was presented. The survey study results are positive and we have been working on identifying the best method to present this information to the public. The consensus of the YMCA and the City is to have a public informational meeting on Thursday, March 29, 2001, at the Boys and Girls Club. The 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
