Council directed Morrison to forward correspondence to Senator Durenberger, requesting a brief meeting on April 25th, to discuss the Army Reserve project proposed for the Twin Cities Arsenal. REQ. DONATIONS Councilmember Winiecki suggested the City staff prepare a list of items which could be donated by various organizations for use by the City in our parks, offices, and public works department. She noted other communities have prepared a listing, with estimated costs, for such items. Mayor Woodburn advised a booklet had been prepared by Arden Hills staff, however it was never printed. CONSULTANT REVIEW Councilmember Winiecki requested Council consider review of consultant contracts prior to renewal; she stated the request in no way reflects on the current consultants. It was her opinion the consultants review and possible re-bid for services may stimulate a stronger commitment from consultants, as there is a tendency toward complacency after a span of service from the same firm. Mayor Woodburn advised the suggestion was a good one, however, the City may loose ~ the historical background in the event new consultant services were contracted. PARKS COMM. ADDITION REQ. FROM MRS. GREEN Mayor Woodburn suggested the recommendation for another appointment to the Park Committee should be held until Councilman Sather is present, as he is the Council liaison to Parks.
