Ordinance #4 is on the agenda for the next Council meeting to approve a summary of the <br />Ordinance for future publication. An additional public hearing is required by law, since <br />changes were made to the Ordinance since the last public hearing. This public hearing will <br />be held on June 28th. The final draft Ordinance will be approved at the next meeting. <br />The Ordinance could be adopted on June 28th. <br /> <br />* The playground equipment was successfully installed at Royal Meadows Park on <br />SaturdaY'I"uiiiing. The fibar base is 5uppu5€:d to aiJive this mOining and wiIJ be installed <br />by public works. There were approximately fifteen volunteers that showed up for various <br />lengths of time to help bring the project to completion. The park and recreation committee <br />will be sending a thank you to all of those that helped. <br /> <br />* I met with some potential developer's for the Gor-em property this week. The property is <br />located on the east side of Centerville Road across from the proposed Hunter's Crossing <br />subdivision. They do not have any particular design concepts in mind for this property. As <br />a side note, I explained the downtown revitalization grant request to these developers. <br />They have worked in partnerships with others to develop mixed-use buildings. They <br />indicated that if the City received a grant they would be interested in submitting a proposal. <br /> <br />* I called the Met Council this morning to find out the number of applicants for the Livable <br />Communities Act Demonstration Grant Program. I spoke to Barbara Engstrom in regards to <br />our application. Barbara said that they received numerous proposals. Several proposals <br />did not meet their threshold criteria. There were 46 applications that did meet the threshold <br />criteria and that would be forwarded to the review committee. Centerville's application will <br />be going forward for review. The 46 applications that will be reviewed are requesting in <br />excess of $40,000,000. There are 19 applications in our category. The Met Council has a <br />total of $9,900,000 to award. We will have to keep our fingers crossed. <br /> <br />6/9/00 <br /> <br />l _ <br />
