COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Keirn inquired where the May 28th regular Council meeting will be held. Mr. Fritsinger stated it would be held at the New Brighton City Hall, and he did not believe New Brighton is having their Council meeting that same evening. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired ifthat was the same night as the Parks and Recreation meeting. Ms. Walsh replied that meeting was rescheduled for May 21 st. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if the Planning Commission meeting should be scheduled for June 5th, not June 7th, and if the Parks and Recreation Committee meeting on June 27th should be at a different time than 4:30 p.m. Mr. Fritsinger stated he will verify the dates and times. Councilmember Aplikowski stated the lot on Lake Johanna Boulevard described in the McFarland letter is unsightly. Mr. Fritsinger stated Staff has notified the owners. He stated that procedurally staff has historically waited until a complaint is received before taking action in such cases. Councilmember Malone stated that this year's HACA aid is $87,600; while he expected next year's amount to drop to about $60,000. He commented on the State's reverse revenue sharing, and indicated he did not want more time spent on paperwork than what the City would get out of the Local Performance Aid program. Councilmember Hicks stated the neighborhood consensus is to re-stripe the segment of County Road E with a center left-turn lane, and felt the 35 mph speed limit was dangerous. Mr. Stafford stated he has written the County to re-stripe the segment in the same fashion as in 1995 as soon as possible. Mayor Probst stated he was receiving updates on the ice arena project in Blaine. He stated the City has not yet been officially approached to be a part of the project, but that other cities are having doubts about joining the project. Mayor Probst reviewed for the audience that Anoka County has agreed to issue the bonds to pay the capital costs for the ice arena project and in turn, ice time will be purchased by the surrounding cities to pay for the revenue bonds. He stated the issue is how the ice time will be split in the event all of it is not purchased.
