Trezona said it was their hope to begin the p1anning and draw�ng of plans, etc. He said with the cooperation of the City Council, they would find the funding to handle the deve7opment. , Councilman Nee submttted a resolution to the members of the Counct7 he had drafted. Mayor Lieb] said he agreed with many things in the proposed resolution, but he felt it would be improper for the present Council to make a decis�on on the matter. He said the newly elected members of the Council had campaigned stating they would support the nature center, he believed this Council should make the decision. Councilman Breider referred to the resolution presented by Councilman Nee and asked if this would be read to the Counc�l and audience. Councilman Nee read the proposed resolution. Counctlman Nee addressed Mayor Liebl and said he had requested that this not be taken care of unttl the next year. He said he had originally thought that this would be reasonable, k,ut it had been brought to his attention that there was an outstanding order by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Council. He interpreted that the City wou7d be obligated to make an Ianpact Statement if this action was not taken at the present time. He said the City would have to respond with the statement or inform the Council that the City no longer intends to develop the golf course. Councilman Nee pointed out a third reason for this action at the current time, to be that the Metropolitan Counci7 was to hold a hearing on a proposed grant the followtng week and the staff had expressed interest in the nature center and may consider the nature center in the grant. He said it would be prudent to take this action at the proper time to have this on record at the hearing. � Councilman Nee went on to state that they would have to begin somewhere and he believed discussion of the structure starting with negotiations would lead to a proposal. He said he would also like to give notice to people who have some interest in the statement to receive some grants. He listed those who have previously expressed interest such as the County and various school districts. He said he would like some negotiations to begin with the administration. Councilman Breider said he would like to speak to the resolution. He said he could concur with the resolution with a few changes in the wording. He referred to the section number three and said he would like to insert the word "preliminary" before the word "development". He suggested alteration of the fourth statement 6y changing the word "negotiations" to "discussions", and also deleting "Spring6rook Nature Center Foundation" and add, "interested groups and individuals. �lso in this fourth statement, ne suggested concluding the statement with, "and report back at the City Council Public Hearing, February 10, 1975". Councilman Breider said he would like to also add "local or9anizations" after "governmental units", in section number five. Councilman Breider said he felt the City of Fridley should have a say in the planning of the nature center, and this should be done in a timely fashion. Councilman Breider mentioned votin9 on the proposed resolution and questioned how many votes this would take to pass at the present time. The City Attorney indicated this would take three votes, a simple majority. Counc7lman Breider said if the two members abstain, and the three remaining vote in favor, this would carry the resolution ' and it could be forwarded. Councilman Nee said he would have no objections to the amendments suggested by Councilman Breider. i✓IQTION by Counc�lman Breider to adopt Resolution No. 126-1974 a reso]ution concerning the development of North Park, and instructing the administration to have the resolution published in the legal newspaper.
