Register. It may be easier to have the buildings placed on the state register, if they are already on the Anoka County listing. The committee discussed the possibility of property owners not wanting their structure (s) on the registry, resulting in research and work with a diversified outcome. Ms. Scheller and Ms. Capra will make phone calls to potential "historic" property owners to educate them on the process. Ms. Capra, Ms. Dorn and Ms. Scheller will work together on submitting an article in the LeJoumal and LePetit, the city newsletters. Ms. Capra will also contact Anoka County for more information. Phase I. Downtown Revitalization The committee discussed ideas from the City of Biwabik and the City of Lindstrom, which are cities that have gone through or are going through redevelopment. The committee agreed that zoning issues need to be set in place, because zoning is "the vehicle" needed to incorporate streetscape visions for our downtown. The committee will invite Design Team volunteers, the Downtown Revitalization Committee and all business owners for a Downtown "theme" Workshop on March 21, 2000 at 6:00 p.m. Ms. Scheller and Ms. Fairbrother will create sample theme ideas and prepare an agenda for the meeting. The committee would like to present council with a theme idea for downtown by the May Business Appreciation Dinner. Ms. Fairbrother added today was the deadline for the request for proposals on the public works property. One request for proposal was submitted. B. YMCA The committee discussed briefly benefits and concerns of the city donating $250,000 to the YMCA in exchange for resident discounts and parks and recreation programs. The committee continues to be interested in the progress of this development. SPECIAL REVENUE FUND A.
