<br /> <br />Item # A <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />DATE: January 10, 2005 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Other Business <br /> <br />There are a number of items to discuss with the City Council under the "Other Business" agenda <br />item. These updates/discussion items include at least the following: <br /> <br />1. Meeting schedule - I would like to visit with the City Council about the 2005 City Council <br />meeting schedule and discuss any conflicts along with special meetings or events that need to be <br />considered. One item to note is that the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner is tentatively set for <br />Thursday, April 21, 2005. Also, I would like to fInd a date for the Annual Report presentation. <br /> <br />2. The school is requesting use of the City Council Chambers for their regularly scheduled meetings <br />which now will be held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. City Clerk Joan Schmidt <br />will provide more information on this request at the meeting on Monday night. Attached is a draft <br />agreement for use of the Council Chambers. <br /> <br />3. Councilrnember Motin would like to discuss a reimbursement request for two homeowners that <br />incurred some expenses related to an incorrect address being issued by the city. <br /> <br />4. I would like to discuss changing the zoning ordinance to require all government offIces, <br />government buildings, and government facilities to require a conditional use permit in all zoning <br />districts. This topic will likely be discussed during the Street Department site Master Plan agenda <br />item. This ordinance change will require a public hearing. <br /> <br />5. Transportation Proposal- City Engineer Terry Maurer and myself have met with Elwyn <br />Tinklenberg, The Tinklenberg Group, regarding consulting services. The goal is to obtain federal <br />funding for Highway 10 planning purposes and ultimately to obtain federal funding for Highway 10 <br />improvements. In this regard, assistance is needed from a professional consulting fIrm that knows <br />the decision makers and the federal decision making process. <br /> <br />Finally, I would like to note that Fire Chief Bruce West will have a request for the new Fire <br />Department training offIcer to attend a training program in Indianapolis. A memo from Bruce West <br />on this issue is included in this agenda packet. <br />
