of Hennepin County. He said he had asked to appear that evening to give an update on a few issues the Metro Council is working on and St. Anthony is reviewing as well. 4 Services of St Anthony Residents Bjorklund and Kozlak Receive Highest 5 Praise 6 The Metro Council member was accompanied by Brad Bjorklund, a former St. 7 Anthony Planning Commission member. Mr. Wiger indicated he first wanted 8 to draw attention to the fine work this City resident was performing 9 for the Metro Council as a member of its Land Use Advisory Committee. 10 He reported Mr. Bjorklund had brought his expertise in land use planning 11 to such projects as the proposed mega mall in Bloomington and other 12 types of developments which have metro significance. 13 Another resident, Connie Kozlak, had been unable to come with him 14 because she was riding with her family in the Central Avenue parade that 15 evening. The Metro Councilmember distributed copies of several reports 16 and brochures which the Metro Council had developed. Included in these 17 were the forecasts of population, households, and employment for cities, 18 townships, and counties in the Twin Cities metropolitan area for the 19 years 1990 and 2000 with a specific breakdown of those statistics for 20 St. Anthony. There was also a "Citizens Guide to the Metropolitan 21 Council" handout and a map and guide to the regional parks in the Twin 22 Cities metropolitan area. 93 St Anthony Commended for Recycling Planning z4 Mr. Wiger indicated solid waste disposal was a "top priority" for the 25 Metro Council and he knew from reading the City Council's minutes he 26 receives, that Councilmember Enrooth was very much involved in planning 27 the City's efforts to conform to the Solid Waste Management Act through 28 its newly formed Recycling Task Force. 29 He said he was particularly happy to learn that the Task Force was 30 considering the option of using the privately owned Reuter facility, 31 which would be able to take all waste materials without separation. The 32 Metro Councilmember indicated he perceived there was no main strategy 33 for waste disposal and said he would be interested in knowing whether 34 the City's final decision is to go with a massive curbside recycling 35 effort or to a combination of services to include a company like 36 Reuters. 37 Knowing the City Council wanted to be updated on not only regional 38 trends but also might want to hear what recyclers from all over the 39 country had to say about recycling, Mr. Wiger reported he had given 40 Councilmember Enrooth a button for the National Recycling Conference to 41 be held in St. Paul around September 18th. 42 Residents Complaints About Flight Pattern Changes Aired
