REVIEW OF COMMUNITY GARDENS PROGRAM
City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, reviewed the history, and requested Council
direction on the motion on the table regarding a Community Gardens Program. It was noted the
Housing Commission and Recreation Commission are working together to develop a
Community Gardens Program and fee schedule but that work will not be completed in 2011.
The City Council/EDA asked staff to provide the information it considered to those
Commissions and suggested the Environmental Commission, if organized, also consider this
matter.
The City Council/EDA referenced a March 30, 2011, Sun Newspaper article recapping the work
of volunteer Diane Sannes in receiving a $1,500 Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP)
grant from Hennepin County on behalf of the Odyssey -Vinai garden.
The majority consensus of the City Council/EDA was to place Community Gardens on the
June 13, 2011, Council agenda so it can be removed from the table and referred to advisory
commissions for additional study and recommendation.
