City Council 11-29-2006
Minutes of Work Session
Present were Mayor Mary Capra, Council members Michelle Lakso, Richard Terway,
Tom Lee and Jeff Paar. Also present were Administrator Dallas Larson City Attorney
Kurt Glaser.
The agenda included discussion of the Downtown Redevelopment, but that was covered
in the regular meeting.
The Council spent considerable time reviewing the current developer agreement and
discussing developer performance and concerns with a potential change in the plan as is
currently being proposed by Sedona Homes. The Council identified several concerns
which the City Attorney will incorporate into a document to be forwarded to the Planning
and Zoning Commission for consideration.
City Attorney Glaser reviewed the progress with Anoka County on the Joint Powers
Agreement. There are still many issues outstanding which the County Engineer has been
unwilling to compromise on. The Council agreed that it may be useful to have a work
session with the County Engineer to see if some accommodation can be reached. The
most likely date that everyone could meet is December 7 at around 7:30 p.m. We will
verify that the County engineer can make that date.
Dallas Larson provided a written report on the progress toward implementing the Council
goals and objectives. Due to the late hour there was no discussion.
The Council discussed pay equity compliance and implementation. The report that was
prepared by Springsted had some fairly significant costs associated with it. The
consensus of the council was to implement the report recommendations on July 1, 2007.
A resolution to adopt the report and provide for its implementation will be on the next
regular meeting agenda.
Adjourned at approximately 10:15 p.m.
Dallas Larson
City Administrator
