Mary Rossing remarks to CouncilKYMN has the indexed video of the 5/18/10 Council meeting so you can go right to the video of the Mayor’s Opening Remarks.  (KYMN News Director Scott Peterson mentioned her remarks in his news update on 5/19.)

There are a couple minutes of dead air at the beginning, plus the approval of minutes etc. so her opening remarks don’t begin till the 3:45 minute mark. If you’re in a hurry, here’s an audio excerpt. (Click play to listen. 5 minutes.)

Tracy DavisIt’s never pretty when Ross bails on our radio show/podcast and yesterday was no exception.Curmudgeon Griff Wigley

Tracy put on her Chair of the Northfield Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals (PCZBA)  hat and after exchanging pleasantries about sidewalk dining, we went toe-to-toe on the planning process for the business park(s). She played the ‘nice’ card and then ended with a lecture till we ran out of time. I was unhappy. I’m mostly over it.

Councilor Kris Vohs with grandkidsOur guest this week, Northfield City Councilor Kris Vohs (At-Large), with two of his grandkids in the audience.

We asked him to explain his vote in favor of the plan to reuse the existing Safety Center location for a new fire station and to build a police station at a new location. The surprising short version of his answer: getting ‘political’ support to build a single building would be difficult in this economic climate. More surprising: he doesn’t support going to the citizens on a referendum to fund the facilities.

The rest of the show we spent discussing the trees on 4th St. which again comes before the Council tonight.
