. . . ~ ~HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: June 15, 2005 AGENDA ITEM: 21 Mayor and City Council Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator ~ Northwest Area Library Access Task Force The Ramsey County Library Board has created a Northwest Area Library Access Task Force. This group will be studying and evaluating services in the northwest portion of the county. You may have read about this in the paper or in some of the materials I've sent out in the Administrative Update. Attached is a letter from Library Director Susan Nemitz. In it, she outlines the goals and timeline for the task force. Each of the three communities in involved (New Brighton, Arden Hills, and Mounds View) is being asked to name representatives to the task force. Arden Hills will need to appoint one public official or city staff person, and one citizen representative. They are asking that those appointments be made by July 5; therefore, I have schedule this item for the June 27 City Council meeting. For the work session, I wanted to provide an opportunity to discuss the information provided. Mayor Aplikowski will have recommendations for appointments to the task force. I've asked Ms. Nemitz for information about the appointment process to be used for the remaining members of the task force. In her letter she notes that the Task Force will also include up to two residents from each community chosen by the Library Board by means of an application process. We will want to assist the process and encourage our residents to seek out this opportunity to serve the City. 1 will share any new information I receive at the June 20 Work Session.
