She further indicated that County Market is opening a deli which will open into the mall area and therefore. she indicated that County Market should be included when considering the total square footage allowed for office space. Cindy Hanlon. of the Elk River Mall Hallmark. indicated that Equitec Properties is the Mall's third manager and their concern is if another manager should take over Equitec's position. they may feel differently than Equitec and consider putting more professional office space in the mall than Equitec is planning to do. e Mr. Robert Peterson. new owner of Dick's Main Tap. indicated that there is a possibility of the downtown area being redeveloped and thereby creating more office space.

Steve Rohlf. Building and Zoning Administrator. stated that the County Recycling Task Force may recommend to the County Board the hiring of a County Recycling Coordinator. Steve Rohlf indicated that it would make sense to work together with the County in the hiring of one person which would be used throughout the County. The City Administrator stated that if the County was not going to consider hiring such a person for another year or two. it would be to the City's best interest to hire their own employee.
