He also clarified that he has previously supported an outside investigation. Mayor Sonterre indicated he had attended a regional home land security update hosted by Betty McCallum and indicated it was a very good seminar where he learned a lot about what the Post Office and the FBI are doing. He indicated that he had asked Charlie Weaver two questions, the first was, is there a way of tying in state and federal funding to make sure the emergency operations plan is taken seriously. He then indicated that he had told Charlie Weaver that it takes three years for someone to be trained and certified to become an emergency operations director. He further indicated that neither the Fire Chief in St. Paul nor the Commissioner of Public Safety were aware of the problem and had indicated that they would move the issue to the top of their priority list. Council Member Stigney indicated that, in light of the plane crash on Long Lake Road, he recommends that the City Administrator contact the airport and remind them that they have a gentlemen's agreement with the City not to fly south of 85th Avenue unless traffic requires it. He then commented that he was outside that afternoon and that plane was the only plane in the air at the time. Council Member Thomas commented that there were some very gallant and brave individuals on that block that pulled the victims from the crash. She then suggested the City should recognize those individuals for their bravery.
