The proposed motion <br />should only appear on the memo created by staff. <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />2. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> inquired about the property off Snelling Avenue that is in tax <br />foreclosure. <br /> <br />City Planner Beekman <br /> stated that the City is waiting for the County to send an official document <br />stating the City has an opportunity to purchase the property, along with information such as the <br />price and time frame to purchase. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br />inquired if the City Administrator followed up with Rob Davidson on <br />concerns with the condition of the building. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> noted that the television in the lobby has resolution issues, and it is an old 32-inch <br />tube. He stated that it might be time for the City to purchase a flat screen. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes <br /> stated that she does not think a television is needed in the lobby; <br />therefore, she is against it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> thinks we should replace the television. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br />stated that he does not have an opinion one way or another. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br />stated that with upcoming TCAAP meetings, it may get to the point in which large <br />numbers of people begin attending the meetings. He noted that the television in the lobby could <br />be important for the overflow of people who do not fit in the Council Chambers. He also noted <br />that staff needs to monitor the slide show of information that plays on the local cable channel. He <br />directed staff to look into purchasing a new television and possibly relocating it over the fireplace. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br />stated that the City has been asked to re-join the I-35W Corridor Coalition. He <br />noted that it costs approximately $10,000 per year. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br />asked what that membership would provide to the City. She noted that <br />she was told it would provide power. She stated that the coalition includes other communities <br />all the way up to Forest Lake, which means we are competing for dollars with those communities. <br />She stated she is not for it. <br /> <br /> <br />
