FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES _6_ <br />February 12, 2003 <br />REPORTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS: <br />Council member Talbot said the Cable Commission has found the cable company in <br />default and ten cities, including Falcon Heights, will be taking them to task. The cable <br />company will undergo another name change on February 14, when they will become <br />Comcast, so people who subscribe to Internet services through the AT & T cable system <br />will need to be prepared to change their e-mail addresses. However, for two years, or <br />through 2004, Comcast will forward e-mail received at the old addresses. He reminded <br />people to pay attention to everything the cable company sends them. Also, each year <br />CTV 15 allocates scholarship monies for young people in their viewing area who have <br />completed at least one year of post high school education. This year they have allocated <br />$30,000, and the deadline for submission of a scholarship application is April 18, 2003. <br />Contact the North Suburban Cable Commission at 651-482-1261 to receive a scholarship <br />application form. <br />Council member Kuettel and Mayor Gehrz spoke very highly of the dedicated group <br />of people who have gathered together on two occasions to learn emergency traffic <br />management skills. This is one more tool that will be an aid with emergencies. Last <br />Saturday, February 8, there were eleven people who practiced with real vehicles and <br />received instruction from two officers with the Saint Anthony Police Department. <br />Council member Kuettel and Mayor Gehrz thanked the eleven hardy souls, and Mayor <br />Gehrz read their names aloud for the benefit of the cable audience. Mayor Gehrz <br />reminded everyone that it is time again to nominate young people for the Neal Kwong <br />award. Neal Kwong was a Falcon Heights resident who died at a very young age. His <br />family dedicated a plaque at City Hall and every year nominations of young people who <br />are active and involved in the Falcon Heights community are accepted. The nomination <br />deadline is March 7, 2003, with the award to be presented at the Council meeting on <br />March 26, 2003. Contact City Hall for a nomination form. <br />The regular City Council meeting was adjourned at 8:10 PM. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Mary Shea Kodluboy <br />Deputy Clerk <br /> <br /> <br />
