• FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -2- October 28, 2003 INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS (continued) Mayor Gehrz said that residents will be receiving an invitation to the long awaited groundbreaking ceremony for the SE Corner, which will be held on Wednesday, October 29, 3 PM, at the SE Corner site. Cider and cookies will be served. There is tremendous excitement in the community about this development, which has been a true community project. A second series of CERT trainings began on Monday evening, October 20 and will continue until December 8. There are 20 new trainees, with seven of them coming from area businesses. She gave a brief description of a letter she prepared that is being placed on vehicles that park bumper to bumper in the Falcon Woods neighborhood, near the path access to/from Prior Avenue. They are being asked to be courteous and avoid parking close to other cars so that the residents who live there have parking space in front of their homes for service vehicles and guests. Also, Twin Cities Co-ops Federal Credit Union is making available about 30 parking spaces for students for $25.00/month. This is the neighborhood that applied for permit parking designation earlier this year. The Planning Commission recommended denial of their request and that recommendation was affirmed by the City Council. However, it was recommended that this matter be reviewed again in November, and the Planning Commission will be doing so. The Falcon Woods neighborhood has also been experiencing frequent power outages and the City Administrator has contacted Xcel Energy. They sent an engineer to the neighborhood and it was determined that two transformers need to be replaced. Xcel Energy has put the job on their work order list, but it will take about two weeks before the work is completed. The regular City Council meeting was adjourned at 7:15 PM. Respectfully submitted, Mary Shea Kodluboy Deputy Clerk 108339
