FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -2- <br />June 9, 2004 <br />REPORTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS: <br />Acting Mayor Kuettel gave a big thank you to the Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions Club for <br />their financial contribution toward the purchase of the equipment and their ongoing support of <br />the City's parks and recreation programs. She reminded the viewing audience that the Lions <br />Club holds fundraising events, particularly a Christmas tree and wreath sale every year at <br />Community Park, and she encouraged people to buy from them. <br />INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: <br />Administrator Worthington said that Bill Maertz, Parks and Public Works Director, is leaving to <br />accept the Parks Director position at Elk River. He has been on staff for seven years and will be <br />missed. The position will be advertised with the League of Minnesota Cities and the St. Paul <br />Pioneer Press. She has been in contact with the St. Paul Water Utility about the power outage <br />that occurred overnight. This is the second time in two months that this has occurred. It is a <br />power issue with Xcel Energy. The City will be working with the respective utilities to make <br />sure they address the problem. There had been just a little over two hours of water in the tank. <br />The problem was compounded by the tank at the State Fairgrounds having been drained for <br />maintenance. <br />• Council member Talbot said that on Thursday evening, June 3, the North Suburban <br />Communication Commission gave away $62,000 in scholarships to college students in the ten <br />city viewing district. There were many appreciative parents. <br />The regular City Council meeting was adjourned at 7:30 PM. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Mary Shea Kodluboy <br />Deputy Clerk <br />3 <br />
