RE: MCDA and STA Associates news release
Can someone decode this release? The MCDA was ready to foreclose on STA, who looked like they would beat the MCDA to the punch by selling to a Chicago developer who would provide fewer jobs. Who forced whose hand here? Did STA checkmate the MCDA and force the agency to back down? Can anyone read tea leaves and say if the project is going in the direction of fewer jobs, or whether STA can pull a rabbit out of the hat and produce a project like the MCDA thought they were getting?

RE: City Council and MCDA Meetings in 2001
I have been asked to inform those who may choose to attend City Council meetings in 2001 that to enter the Federal Courts building you will have to pass through a security checkpoint and a metal detector. Also, the use of cell phones is prohibited within the Federal Courts building. Forewarned is fore armed. But if you are, you will be stopped... :-) Robert Cooper Minneapolis Community Development Agency NRP/Citizen Participation Department 155-5th Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55401 voice: (612) 673-5239 fax: (612) 673-5259 web: http://www.mcda.org -Original Message- From: Cooper, Bob Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2000 9:19 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: City Council and MCDA Meetings in 2001 For those of you who may wish to attend City Council and MCDA meetings in the coming year, please note the following: Starting in January 2001, all City Council, MCDA Board and Committee meetings will be held in different locations because City Hall will be undergoing reconstruction on third floor to update the heating and ventilating systems.

Re: MCDA
My apologies. The survey was being sent to groups who received the original post after the survey was knocked off. This posting was in error. The survey is intended to collect information on services rendered by MCDA, and determine it effectiveness as an agency. Since MCDA is established to address housing and development issues in Minneapolis (?), information should be garnered about it perception in the eyes of those served. Since I am running for State Rep, I am concerned about the role of agencies designed to administer the needs of my constituents and other Minnesotans. As a citizen, I have experienced their service and must say that their effectiveness is rather questionable. This is my personal opinion, however, and it does not have merit until either the role of that organization in fulfilling its mission is examined, or until weighed against (public) opinion. I will send the survey to any one requesting it: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or, it will be available on the web sites: http://www.andersonforhouse.com, and at the other: http://www.egroups.com/group/anderson4rep. Interested?? Robert Anderson Minneapolis
Re: MCDA Survey
Jim, my apologies. After this error was brought to my attention, I posted a correction. Hopefully all have received it. To all: In response to a request to send a copy of the survey regarding MCDA, I did not reference the source or context, and inadvertently sent it to the full list. My apologies to all. If you like, the survey is available at: http://www.egroups.com/group/anderson4rep Robert Anderson Minneapolis
Re: MCDA
Certainly. The survey was put together after hearing many accounts of MCDA's riding slipshod over the people who have had contact with them. Accounts range from unscrupulous deals with persons having an undue influence in MCDA affairs, all the way to ignoring complaints from persons who have used their services. On this level, my interest is in the effectiveness of the program. I am struggling to understand the relationship between MCDA and its commissioners (city council) and other agencies as it relates to projects involving all three. The use of public funds requires certain elements accompany each project in which they are involved: other agencies funded by tax dollars have a responsibility to the public but, in at least one instance, neglected to perform their task, putting individuals at monetary, and physical risk. The intent of the survey is to determine their services overall and the effectiveness of the agencies providing oversight. It will also give some idea of the number of persons affected.
