CC Meeting Minutes page two September 20, 1988 Motion by Burgstahler, second by Neumann to authorize continued funding of the Centerville Economic Development Task Force, in that the City Clerk will continue to attend the meetings, monies for this purpose will be taken out of the general fund, motion carried unanimously. Clerk noted that she did contact the City Attorney and has checked in the current League Handbook to attempt to verify what the correct procedure for posting of meetings should be. City Attorney checked the statute and the Handbook and both read that the posting need only be in one place, but would need to be posted at least three days in advance. Clerk advised that she will attempt to contact the League of Minnesota Cities to try to determine if misinformation was given out to a resident. Clerk advised that Dick Wedell, Mayor of Shoreview called the City office to ask if the City would be interested in a television tower. It was estimated that it could generate $50,000 to $60,000 in annual revenue to the City. Clerk advised that the City Planner was contacted for his opinion. Planner felt that if the Council were to consider this proposal it would best be located in the area of the current Cellular I tower. The consensus of the City Council appeared to be that they were not interested in such a proposal at this time. Clerk advised that Council member Fritchie requested that the Council talk about the possibility of publishing a summary of the motions made at the Council meetings in order to try to keep the public more informed as to City decisions. It appeared that the consensus of Council members who were in attendance that they were not in favor of such action at this time.
