The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the
City Administrator regarding establishment of a
citizens committee to study and make recommendations
on the City Hall project. It was the concensus of the
Council that the committee should consist of a
businessperson from the TH 110/149 area, a member of
the Planning Commission and the Park Commission, a
representative of the League of Women Voters and at-
large citizens. It was also the concensus that the
committee chairperson should be appointed by Council.
Councilmember Cummins moved to establish a citizens
committee to begin study on the City Hall project and
to focus on the six issues identified in the Adminis-
trator's memo, and further to direct staff to solicit
citizen volunteers to serve on the committee through
all available media.
Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion.
Mayor Lockwood suggested that the committee might also
consider the need for a public library. It was deter-
mined that library considerations should not be tied
in with the City Hall project.
Councilmember Blesener moved approval of the Compre-
hensive Guide Plan Amendment - Housing Element, as
amended on pages 20 and 23, along with direction to
forward the document to the Metropolitan Council.
Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion.

about the Bytech Corporation warehouse sale operation
in the industrial park.
There being no further business to come before the
Council, Councilmember Hartmann moved that the meeting
be adjourned.
Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion.
