Quickies: New format
These quickies are getting too long. I'll try to limit them to just eight to 10 paragraphs.
* Grand Forks City Council meets tonight and the one item on the agenda that's really of major interest probably won't be discussed. Council members indicated they wanted to take the mayor's 2007 budget to a separate meeting -- which implies a lengthy debate -- which would be the 5 p.m. work session on Wednesday. I already know I'm going to enjoy that one.
* New council in Grand Forks means new positions for council members. They'll vote Monday night on the appointments.
Curt Kreun gets a seat on the Alerus Center commission and Emergency Management Board.
Doug Christensen gets a seat on the Planning and Zoning Commission, right next to Kreun. These two sometimes appear to get on each other's nerves at council and it's gonna be funny when they sit through those 10-hour long P&Z meetings, which can only mean even longer meetings. Sausage being made indeed.
New guy Mike McNamara, who's supposed to get back from Iraq in about 40 days, gets seats on the Board of Health, the Library Board and the Pension and Insurance Committee. Good luck studying up for pension and insurance. That's painful (albeit, important) stuff.
Art Bakken gets a seat on the MPO's Executive Policy Board. Doug sits on that one, too.
* That deer feeding ban is back.
