It’s Friday. Here’s my weekly Friday Report that I shared with the City Council today:
Office of the City Manager | Friday Report
DATE: May 18, 2007
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Scott H. Neal, City Manager
RE: Friday Report for May 18, 2007
1. Joint Meeting with School District- The spring joint meeting between the School Board and the City Council is scheduled for Monday, May 21, at 5:15 pm. The meeting will be held at the School Administration Building. There is a regular School Board meeting that evening immediately following our joint meeting.
2. Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Meeting - The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Board is hosting a special public hearing on Wednesday, May 30, at 7 pm here in City Center to have additional public dialog about the District’s proposed solution to water quality problems in Anderson Lakes. There will be an opportunity at this public meeting for citizens to share their thoughts, concerns and ideas about the issue and the proposed solution.
3. Employees News - I will be having exit interviews next week with Lynette Biunno and Jean Johnson. Lynette, who works part-time for us in Customer Service, has accepted an offer to do similar work for the City of Edina. Jean Johnson is retiring. Congratulations to both of them. Congratulations also go out to Officer Matt Mohn. Officer Mohn was selected by his peers as the 2007 Labor Management Team Officer of the Year. He was recognized at last night’s annual Police Department Awards & Recognition Ceremony.
4. Camp Eden Wood -The Camp Eden Wood project continues to move forward. It looks like Friendship Ventures will be able to meet their goal of having the camp open for business in early June. City staff members are assisting Friendship Ventures in working through issues they are having with getting their grant reimbursements from the state.
5. Technology Task Force - City staff members and consultants held a successful kick-off meeting last week for the Technology Task Force. We have a high-powered task force. After listening to the task force members talk about the issue, I am convinced more than ever that we are on the right track with this issue.
