The Joi nt Meeti nq was cal 1 ed to order by School Board Chairman Dave Anderson who
noted the meeting was instigated by Mayor Peterson.
Three items for discussion were agreed upon. They were: cooperative agreements,
�. the Comprehensive Municipal Guide Plan, and future facility needs .
Council member Anderson related that administrators who viewed the school/park facilities
in Eden Prairie in the early 1980' s stated they were among the finest in the nation.
City Manager Jullie indicated he and Business Coordinator Gamm had discussed the interest'
on the part of the School District for installing radios in special education school
buses which travel downtown each day. As a result, an antenna is need and discussions
have been underway so this might be accomplished. The City of Bloomington is involved
as the antenna will probably have to be located in that City.
The Guide Plan process was updated by City Manager Jullie.
The consensus of the School Board and the Council was that further meetings should be
held with the next one focusing on future facility needs. It was noted the City has
recently appointed an ad hoc committee to study the City's needs and it was hoped
that the needs of the School District could be combined with these so a realistic
picture can be presented to the residents of the community.
There was some discussion regarding a City-wide forum-type meeting which might be
scheduled for Fall . Superintendent McCoy noted that October 7 , 1985 , has been
tentatively selected as the date for a school referendum.
