At this point, I would say do <br /> not lose any sleep over this proposal. Too many items do not add up. <br /> * I attended the Planning and Zoning meeting on Tuesday evening. The main agenda <br /> topic was the public hearing that was scheduled for the property north of City Hall. One <br /> person was in attendance at the hearing to express his opposition to having the property <br /> rezoned to commercial. <br /> * I attended the Park and Recreation meeting on Wednesday evening. The committee is <br /> continuing to make progress on their park goals for 2000. The park and recreation <br /> committee is interested in resubmitting an application for the Outdoor Recreation Grant <br /> program. The application would include improvements to LaMotte and Royal Meadows <br /> Park. I will be attending an informational grant seminar sponsored by the DNR next week <br /> Tuesday. <br /> * The City has received this year's antenna lease payments from both companies that <br /> lease space on the watertower. <br /> * I attended the cable operating committee meeting on Tuesday. Legal counsel was <br /> present to discuss legislative efforts to eliminate municipal franchise fees that fund local <br /> cable programming. Cities are mobilizing to fight the legislation that these select <br /> legislator's are proposing. Senator Krentz has contacted the City and she plans to be <br /> present at our January 26th Council meeting to hear about City legislative concems. This <br /> will be one item that we will want to mention. <br /> * Paul Palzer and Milo Bennett are meeting with the builder of the new Odyssey Lures <br /> building this morning. They are going to be reviewing some fire code issues. They are on <br /> track to build in the Industrial Park this spring. <br /> * The first community skating night this century is scheduled for Sunday from 4 -6 P.M. <br /> * I will be out of the office next week Thursday and Friday on an ice fishing excursion.
