About three months ago, Martha Miss, their Past PresidendTreasurer, approached him and asked how they could make a contribution to the City. It was determined that tables and/or chairs for the Council Chambers would be a good purchase. This evening, Jeff Theroux, their President, and Martha Miss are in attendance to make a donation of $1,000 to the City. Jeff Theroux said that on behalf of the Mineral Club he wanted to express appreciation for being able to use City Hall for their monthly meetings. It is a wonderful building and Falcon Heights is a great community. It is a great centrally located meeting place and they look forward to spending many more years here. A check for $1,000 was presented to Mayor Gehrz. John Zanmiller St. Paul Re Tonal Water Services Board of Directors -Review of 2004 for the St. Paul Regional Water Services Mr. Zanmiller introduced himself and said that he represents Falcon Heights on the St. Paul Regional Water Services Board of Directors. He is Vice President of the Board and was also recently elected mayor of the City of West Saint Paul. He said that serving on the Board gives him an opportunity to see things that a small community like his is not exposed to. He said the St. Paul Regional Water Services is not selling as much water as they thought they would. The average temperature in August, 2004 was 66 degrees. The Board had to put off some capital expenditures but their budget is in good shape. The water utility has consolidated almost all of its operations at the Maplewood campus. The water utility owns a parcel of land on Centerville Lake that the City of Centerville wants to purchase for access purposes. The • property is valued in excess of $300,000 and the water utility will not give it away, but is willing to help Centerville find ways to pay for it by giving them additional time.
