Set Workshop Meeting Dates
January 4, 2011
Comment:
Introduction:
The City Council is asked to set special meeting dates to discuss two subjects.
Background:
1. Following the defeat of the Community Center on November 2" Parks,
Recreations, and Natural Resources Director Jamie Polley held a day long retreat
with her staff to discuss the future of the department, and specifically, the future
of the Community Center. Several ideas were generated as a result of that.
Ms. Polley has scheduled a similar meeting with the Park and Recreation
Advisory Board at its regular meeting of January 24 Her recommendation is to
subsequently schedule a joint meeting with the Council to discuss their
recommendations, and get Council input.
In addition, Mark Themig of Scott County would like time to review a proposal
regarding a connection for a regional trail system from the southerly part of
Shakopee to the Minnesota River Trail. Part of the proposal would be to utilize
Holmes Street from the downtown to 10 Avenue. Prior to scheduling any public
information meetings on this, the Council is asked to give its feedback.
Recommended date: Tuesday, February 8th, 7 PM
2. The Scott County Board is seeking to hold some of its regular meetings during
evening hours. It has been suggested that at least one evening meeting be held in
each of the five commissioner districts. Items of interest to that particular district
will be discussed, and, in some cases, tours of the local library or CDA projects
will be held. It is expected that roadway improvements will be on the agenda for
Shakopee.
It is proposed that the first meeting be held in District 3, which includes
Shakopee.
Recommended date: Tuesday, February 22nd, 6:30 PM (Location — either
County Board Room or Council Chambers - -to be determined.)
'3. F. /.
Recommendation:
I recommend the meetings be scheduled as described above.
Relationship to Visioning:
This supports Goal A — "Keep Shakopee a safe and healthy community where residents
can pursue active and quality lifestyles"; and Goal D, "Maintain, improve, and create
strong partnerships with other public and private sector entities."
Action Required:
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, set meeting dates for February 8, and
February 22, 2011.
