Mayor Johnson also mentioned once again the open house and dedication
of the new city hall scheduled for December 7 at 1:30. Hon. Senator
Mondale will be the guest speaker at 2:00 p.m. All of the Council
should plan to attend. A letter was received from Governor Anderson
expressing his regrets that he could not attend. Mayor Johnson also
said that he and Administrator Achen attended a League of Ramsey County
Local Governments meeting in No. St. Paul and stated that they are
looking for direction.
As a final item, Mayor Johnson asked for a progress report on Chapter 40.
Councilman Shelquist stated that the progress was very good. They
have covered about 25 pages and have about 25 pages left. A meeting
to finish was scheduled for Tuesday, December 2, at 7:00 p.m., to
get all of the problems worked out, and then the Council will get
together with the Planning Commission.
COUNCILMAN HODGE'S REPORT
Councilman Hodges has received one snowmobile complaint: that of
racing up and down on Woodcrest. This should be checked out by the
police. Also perhaps it would be a good idea to check on the
"cars for sale" on weekends in the church parking lot at Hillview
and Highway 10.
Mayor Johnson mentioned that Mr. Gillespie has 12 or 15 cars at his
residence and asked Administrator Achen to talk to the police chief
and point out this problem to him. There is no need for any more
warnings.
COUNCILMAN BAUMGARTNER'S REPORT
No report.
COUNCILMAN PICKAR'S REPORT
Councilman Pickar mentioned the Eagle Award ceremony he had attended
earlier this evening and thought that the Council should extend its
congratulations to Jerry Tri. He also questioned as to where the
funds for the flag pole would be coming from. Mayor Johnson answered
that the Jaycees had made $400 or $500 on the Haunted House at Halloween
and that was one of the ways it was suggested to them to donate it.
COUNCILMAN SHELQUIST'S REPORT
The Planning Commission is meeting this Wednesday evening for their
second meeting for the month of November. He asked if provisions
had been made for a meeting with the storm water engineers. Administrator
Achen stated that they had met with them and they have not placed
piezometers yet and are trying to establish the sites to put them on.
Councilman Shelquist further suggested that the agenda meetings be
held in the Council Chamber so that the door can be left unlocked
but still maintain control of it, so it would remain a public meeting.
He also did not feel that Bill and Ed's Used Car Lot was observing
the proper setback from the road.
