Councilmember Thune indicated that this would be a discussion of eligibility, applicants,
geographical areas, types of projects, programs and strategies, eligible expenses, as well as
the overall program objectives. He stated that there was also another resolution but
indicated that it is easier to deal with one thing and move, replace or substitute rather than
have two things going at the same time. He suggested that the Council decide what they are
going to do, get public input, and then have discussions.
Councilmember Grimm indicated that she had some ideas on this resolution and distributed
them to the rest of the Councilmembers.
Councilmember Rettman stated that Councilmember Grimm's idea should be a side-by-side
resolution so that both languages could be looked at. She indicated that the common
purpose was to get the best expenditure of the dollars.
Tim Marx, City Attorney, stated that the conversation needed to be kept to the one item on
the table and to decide how to most e�ciently handle the discussion.
Councilmember Harris indicated that he was in favor of having the second item on the
agenda as a companion and wanted to see the language so that the best program would be
available.
Councilmember Megard stated she was uncomfortable introducing a substitute resolution.
She instead suggested working through the resolution on the table and using the new ideas
for new language.
Councilmember Rettman moved suspension to have it as a companion resolution.
Councilmember Thune voiced his concern about confusion as to what will be changed,
amended or marked up. He stated that rather than introducing a companion resolution, he
would prefer to keep the agenda item and make references to the other item.
Councilmember Blakey questioned why the information was not available earlier as he
would have liked to study it and compare the two.
August 3, 1994 City Council Summary Minutes Page 8
Councilmember Grimm indicated that if this could be introduced, the public would have a
chance to look at it.
Councilmember Rettman indicated that this can be introduced as a resolution and then be
on the next agenda. She stated that because the discussion on some of the guidelines was
going to be started today, it made sense to have the language in front of everyone.
Councilmember Harris stated the overall objective should be to come up with the best
program possible.
Councilmember Thune indicated that to introduce both resolutions separately for discussion
would be redundant and confusing, but it could be done.
Councilmember Grimm moved for a suspension to introduce the following resolution which
was submitted as a side-by-side resolution to C.F. 94-1032 to enable discussions on the sales
tax revitalization program to proceed in a timely manner.
Resolution - 94-1127 - Establishing the Neighborhood Sales Tax Revitalization Program.
Roll Call Yeas - 5 Nays - 2(Megard, Thune)

Amy Filice, PED, explained the objectives of the resolution and the eligibility issues and
how they differ from Councilmember Megard's resolution.
Susan Kimberly, Executive Director of St. Paul Coalition for Community Development,
suggested that the new resolution should be sent to all parties that received the original.
