minutes from April 16, 2013 meeting. All voted aye. March minutes continue to be tabled due to an unforeseeable and extended staff medical leave.
V. REPORTS/RECOMMENDATIONS
A. 2013 Work Plan – Vision/Mission statement edits and comments: Chair Doscotch discussed the current draft of the Vision/Mission and believes it is reasonable to present two versions to the Council. Member Bothun-Hurley’s initial
review of the draft was positive. Member Stegner commented that presenting two options to the Council gives them greater ownership over the one they ultimately
choose. Chair Doscotch will look for an approval of the final draft at the next
meeting.
B. Staff Report:
1. Deb Mangen and the Council will be discussing the Health Committee vacancies at their June 4th work session. They intend to fill vacancies from the pool of
applicants already interviewed.
2. We have arranged for a photo of the Committee just prior to the July meeting. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early.
3. The ETC (Energy and Transportation Committee) is working on a Living Streets policy. They would like some time at our July meeting to update us on their work and seek input on the policy draft. Staff will see that the information is sent out to
Committee members in advance.
4. Assistant City Manager, Karen Kurt, requests that the Committee spend some time this summer to work on the 2014 work plan. The plan must be submitted by
September 23rd for the Council packet, and Chairs are scheduled to meet with the
Council on their proposed work plan at the October 1st work session.
VI. ADJOURNMENT
A motion to adjourn was made by Member Kingston and seconded by Member Martyn. The Edina-specific portion of the meeting was adjourned at 8:10 pm.
