Mayor & City Council
Review Agenda Topics for Joint City Council and School
Board Meeting
A joint worksession meeting with School District #728 School Board and the
City Council is scheduled for 7 p.m., Monday, January 24, 2000, in the
Training Room. The City Council meeting will begin at 6 p.m. and we will do a
number of regular business items before we adjourn into our worksession.
I am looking for input from the City Council on topics they would like to have
on the agenda to discuss jointly with the School Board. I have met with Dr.
Flannery and we believe that a number of items are relevant for the agenda,
but I am looking for some council input prior to the publication of the agenda.
Items that Dr. Flannery and I thought were appropriate include 1.) a
discussion on the Community Recreation organization since we are both key
members of this group, 2.) traffic safety and parking issues, and 3.) a
community facility of some type that is jointly owned and used.

Dear Mr. Klaers:
The School Board is eager to have a joint meeting with all city councils and township boards
within the school district. To this end, they have scheduled the meeting for Monday,
February 7, 2000, at 7 p.m. in the band room at Meadowvale Elementary School, 12701 Elk
Lake Road, Elk River (enter Door 7, first room to the right). School Board members and
district administrators would like to have the city officials discuss their comprehensive
planning processes, residential and commercial development plans and plans for utilities.
This kind of information is critical for our planning. We hope that at least some council
members and staff can attend. Area legislators also will be invited to attend this meeting.
Also, the School Board and I are prepared to schedule separate joint meetings with the
School Board and individual city councils if requested. Please contact me at 241-3401 or
Londa at 241-3418 to discuss possible dates if you're interested.
The School Board and I appreciate your cooperation and access to the information that is
necessary in our planning process. We look forward to meeting with you on February 7.
Sincerely,
David Flannery
Superintendent of Schools
