Bill updated the committee on the City Manager search. Jim Brimeyer & Associates have been contracted to bring a list of finalists back to the council. He has met with each council member, the mayor, and each department head to discuss what we're looking for. with this information, he will simulate a profile subject to informal council approval. At this point, Brimeyer will advertise on a regional basis for someone with similar forms of government. There should be a list of finalists by mid-January. Some discussion followed. The space needs study was next on the agenda. Bill Mangan informed the committee that a consultant was hired to do an entire space needs analysis for the city; maintenance facilities, library facilities, city hall facilities, community meeting space facilities, etc. This will be based on a five to twenty year plan. This analysis results should be completed by January, 1993. Dou9 Berens then asked for New Business. The current Parks Advlsory Committee members have been reappointed through September, 1996. Based on the Council action, there were ten people who interviewed for the Planning commission; six or seven of those expressed an interest to serve on the Parks Advisory Committee. The By-laws state that this committee should consist of seven to eleven members; we presently have six. Bill will be contactin9 those people and also will be advertising this position ln the paper. He felt that a seven (7) member committee would be adequate. This action may not take place until January, 1993. Pat Heaney questioned if the $5.00 fee that is on the water bill can continue indefinitely. Bill Mangan felt that it could continue indefinitely since it is a capital fund used for maintenance facilities which needs to meet the criteria of the bonding guidelines; the maintenance facility is used to maintain the city sewer and water, wells, pipelines, etc. A recreation center or a new city hall would not be included in this fund. 4629 Dakota 51. 5.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph.

At this point, we can focus on how to proceed with the development of this land.

The model includes two gymnasiums, a running track, a hockey arena, aerobics area, swimming pool with chutes etc., work out room, weight room, a pistol range, and a lobby area.
