SEPTEMBER 23, 1991 PAGE TWO area church, to purchase all 21 acres of his land to build a church and a church school. He informed them that the City is interested in obtaining 5-6 acres of his site for incorporation into the proposed golf course scheme. Everything is very tentative at this point. He and I will be meeting the Week of September 30th to discuss the proposed golf course, so I hope to learn more about the church's plans . Any action to build a church and school on that property would require a rezoning providing water and sewer also becomes a significant issue. As I said, all of this is extremely preliminary, but I wanted you to be informed of this if it should become an issue somewhere down the road.

The issue of one suburban court (possibly located in Shoreview or Arden Hills) was discussed and the possibility of a facility which provided for an expanded service system such as the ability to book prisoners at the facility was met with initial approval. The Commission will meet again on October 14th. *The first Household Hazardous Waste Informational Meeting will be held next Thursday, 7 :00 p.m. at City Hall. Representatives from the County's Public Health Department, Dynex, the Fire Department and City Staff will be present to answer questions and provide information. *On October 3, 1991, numerous metro area police organizations are sponsoring "Turn Off The Violence.
