This is <br />a time for the Council to attend a national conference without <br />incurring great expense to the city. Councilmembers were asked to <br />inform staff if they wished to attend or wanted more information. <br />CONSIDERATION OF THE EXISTING CITY ORDINANCE REQUIRING THE <br />DISCONNECTION OF STORM SEWER DRAINAGE INTO THE SANITARY SEWER <br />SYSTEM <br />Administrator Hoyt reported that there are eight homes in Falcon <br />Heights that are discharging storm sewer water into the sanitary <br />sewer system. The St. Paul Water Utility has asked that the city <br />enforce an existing ordinance that prohibits this practice. Hoyt <br />requested that the Council direct staff to work with these property <br />owners to make modifications to their water system, bringing these <br />properties into conformance with city code. <br />Councilmember Gehrz asked if these modifications would require the <br />service of a professional. Administrator Hoyt replied that it was <br />her understanding that the modifications were fairly simple. City <br />staff would assist homeowners by explaining how to perform the <br />disconnection and/or by providing the homeowner with the names of <br />professionals licensed to work in Falcon Heights. <br />CITY ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Councilmember Gibson Talbot reported that there had been good <br />attendance at the Curtiss Field picnic supper for the Time-In <br />Program. <br />Administrator Hoyt reported that State Fair parking signs were up and <br />parking ordinances being enforced.
