CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
City Manager Michael McCauley discussed the materials provided for the Economic Development
Authority (EDA) Agenda Item 4b, Resolution Approving Amended and Restated Development
Agreement and Assignment of the Same. Mr. McCauley suggested tabling this item until written
materials are provided from Talisman LLC regarding the status of the request.
It was the consensus of the Council to table this item during the EDA meeting.
Council discussed several City Council agenda items that included 7a, 8c, 8d, 8e, and 8h. It was
noted that the language in the resolution for agenda item 8e, Staff Report Regarding Centerbrook
Golf Course Water Tower Storage and Resolution Establishing Improvement Project No. 2001 -14,
Construction of a Storage Building at Centerbrook Golf Course, would be amended to read "for" the
Centerbrook Golf Course instead of "at" Centerbrook Golf Course, and that a letter would be
submitted from the Mayor transmitting the resolution approved to help lobby the efforts for the
Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association (agenda item 8c, City Contribution to Minnesota
Municipal Liquor Beverage Association).
Councilmember Nelson inquired whether or not the language in the City Council minutes from
January 8, 2001, pertaining to 9e, Mayor Appointments of Council Liaisons to City Commissions for
2001, and 9f, Mayor Appointments to City Advisory Commissions is correct. Council discussed and
no action was taken.

Councilmember Nelson suggested that the EDA agenda item 4a, Resolution Designating
Depositories of EDA Funds, be amended to say that the Executive Director and Assistant Treasurer
are authorized by the EDA to act for the EDA in any of its business with the depositories throughout
the resolution to be consistent with what was approved previously.
MISCELLANEOUS
Council discussed the issue of used car lots.
Public Works Director Diane Spector informed the Council that the two staging areas for
construction projects this year would be the southwest quadrant of Xerxes and I- 94/694 for the
equipment and Garden City Park (formerly Brooklane Park) for some of the materials stockpile.
Mr. McCauley asked the Council what time they would like to amend the City Council meeting
schedule for March 5, 2001, and April 16, 2001. It was the consensus of the Council that 7:00 p.m.
would work better for the commission members.

session at 6:41 p.m.
