On Tuesday, April 30th, the City Council will meet as the City
"Board of Review" and entertain the Dakota County Staff and local
taxpayers in hearing concerns and complaints about property
values.
In the past the City Council opened this meeting, turned it over
to the County Staff to handle and adjourned the council meeting.
This is our intent this year, although with the way taxes have
increased we may have several persons who wish to make comments
which may lengthen the City Council's involvement.
Be that as it may, we hope to take about three hours after the
Council is finished with the Board of Review to discuss matters
of importance to all of you and the Council. What I would ask
you to do is the following:
1. Consider areas of concern you have regarding the operation
of your department, items of major purchase you have in the
5 year CIF, major projects you are working on and general
problems you are facing re: personnel and funding; and
relate these to the council.
This is not to be a complaint session, a time for pitching
1:1the council on any„curtain project or need, but an
opportunity to simply bring them up to speed on where you
and your department are at.
2. Allow yourself no more than twenty minutes to make a verbal
presentation and ten more minutes for follow up. This would
allow all of us to get through our discussions in three
hours.
Don't think you have to have twenty minutes but make the
discussion long enough to touch on your
concerns/projects/issues without
�/ shortchanging yourselves.

I hope this will be an opportunity for the Council and us to
casually discuss the issues facing us without any need to
"convince" but rather to "inform".
I want to emphasize this so that we don't get off on one project
or department and spend the whole evening in one area.
Please have, to me, by Monday at 11:00 a.m. a brief summary of
what you will discuss. We will then review these on Tuesday, the
30th, at our staff meeting.
I will outline them all in a summary to the council at the start
of the session on Tuesday, April 30th.
