Councilmember Talbot moved to approve the sale of the HAM radio to Mike Bagstad. The motion was unanimously approved. INFORMATION/ANNOUNCEMENTS Councilmember Talbot read excerpts of a letter from Cor Wilson, Executive Director of the North Suburban Access Corporation (NSAC), the company that handles the web-streaming of the council meetings. Wilson expressed that she was sorry about the technical difficulties with the web streaming of late. She stated that NSAC will be changing over from Quicklime to Real Video interface in early November with testing and implementation taking place by the end of the year. Mayor Gehrz added that the City will not pay for web streaming services while the system is down. She added that council meetings are still broadcast on CTV 15. Councilmember Kuettel stated the flyer went out 10-26-05. She explained that residents should add the Town Square Grand Opening to their calendars as the grand opening will be held 11-15- 05 from 4-7 p.m. Mayor Gehrz added that postcards mailed to residents will also have this information. She also explained a news story by the Star Tribune stated Falcon Heights had a large population by day, while at night it is smaller due to people coming in to work and leaving to go home. She gave an update on the new equine center scheduled to be built east of Fairview after the new year and expressed her pleasure at the wonderful addition to Falcon Heights. • Next she explained the ongoing process for a new football stadium at the U of M Mpls campus outlined in a report from the school. Even though the stadium would not be in Falcon Heights, she explained, the impacts would still be felt here through traffic and noise. She noted specifically the Snelling and Larpenteur intersection. The report will be temporarily available at City Hall for public review. Administrator Worthington corrected her statement from the 10-12-OS meeting, stating the City in fact, does not have `no-fault' sewer back-up coverage, but that it does have an aggressive sewer maintenance program, and all claims for public caused sewer backups are processed quickly by LMCIT; however the city has not had a successful claim against it in nearly six years. Mayor Gehrz adjourned the regular city council meeting at 8:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Stacey Kreuser Deputy Clerk • 5 ~CHG02:40069922.v1 ~9/28/OS 11:33 AM
