ADMINISTRATIVE ___NEWSLETTER October. 13, 1986 City of Mounds View Number is vol. VI OUTDOOR WARNING SIRENS The City's two older outdoo,• warning sirens have been relo- cated to the new sites p_eviously approved by the City Council. The siren which was originally located on County Road I, on the shore of Spring Lake, has been taken in for a complete refurbishing due to the fact that the zAiren has not had any maintenance performed on it during the twenty-five years it has been located in the City, and it was recently struck by lightning requiring rewiring of nearly the entire unit. These sirens will be thoroughly tested and should be operational no later than November 1, 1986. NTSB BOARD OF INQUIRY At the present time, Staff and the City's Attorneys and Con- sultants are preparing for the National Transportation Safety Board's Board of Inquiry Hearing commencing on October 22, 1986. As this is an opportunity for the City to ask questions of various witnesses which will include repre- sentatives from Williams Pipeline Company, the Department of Transportation Office of Pipeline Safety, the American Petroleum Institute, and the National Transportation Safety Board as well as residents in the area of the pipeline inci- dent, and Fire Chief Fagerstrom, I am soliciting questions from members of the City Council should you have any which would be appropriate for the purposes of the Board of Inquiry's Hearings. I anticipate that greater discussions will occur prier to the Board of Inquiry's hearing, and there may be a possibility that City Attorney Neyers and/or myself will request an Executive Session of the City Council prior to this hearing in order to communicate to the Council our strategies and intentions for this hearing. Attorney Meyers will be returning on October 12, 1986 and it is anti- cipated that detailed discussions will occur during the week of October 13, 1986 which will require communication to you prior to the Board's hearings. • Should you have any questions or require any information regarding the Board of Inquiry, please do not hesitate to contact me.
