Greetings all, Hope everyone had a good 4th ... despite 'unauthorized' fireworks. Public hearings : Met Council - proposed transit fair increases. No school, park or library meetings listed on websites. Henn.co. libraries is in the process of developing a hybrid community engagement process for Mpls library capital projects and procedures...somewhere between the Mpls system of widespread community/n'hood assnparticipation and the county's input process. Nokomis Library will be first Mpls. example of hybrid process. First NK library meeting last year was under Mpls rules which no longer apply. County planetarium work force had first meeting. Lots of study questions...where to put it (burb, downtown), with whom to partner and how to cover an operating deficit (common to all planetariums). More meetings to come. Decision in August. If they are up-to-date, check your n'assn website for park updates/plans. Not always listed on pk bd home page but n'assns are notified. Last week a public info meeting was held on the large Minnehaha Park infrastructure project (state $ authorized this year). While Grand Rounds was listed, Minnehahawas not. best wishes, cheryl luger nokomis east ***Mon., July 7*** ++Ways and Means 1:30 pm http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/council/2008-meetings/20080711/WM_agenda20080707.asp Consent: legal settlement,2008 Voter info utility insert, Convention Center electronic signs bid ($345,xxx), discounted prepayment settlement on parking ramp, 2008 HOME budget...
