13 <br />1 St. Anthony Boulevard Open for Traffic <br />2 Mr. Childs reported most of the work on the project had been com- <br />3 pleted except for striping and dirt behind the curb replacement. <br />4 Because of the drought conditions, sodding would be delayed until the <br />5 fall. He reiterated that the police would be paying close attention <br />6 to traffic speed on the new roadway. <br />7 Kenzie Terrace Pedestrian Signal Operational <br />8 Mr. Childs indicated great pleasure in announcing this project, <br />9 which, along with the St. Anthony Boulevard reconstruction project, <br />10 had been in the works for many years, had been completed that <br />11 morning. <br />12 Pure Water for St. Anthony by End of July <br />13 As anticipated, the pads and piping for the carbon filtration system <br />14 are being installed this week and by the time the carbon cylinder <br />15 installation and testing are completed, Well #3 should be ready. The <br />16 City should have all three wells in operation by the end of the <br />17 month, Mr. Childs reported. The Manager speculated now that they <br />18 know St. Anthony water is again as pure and drinkable as it was <br />19 before it was contaminated by runoff from the arms plant, people from <br />20 outside the City might again be showing up at the fire station with <br />21 containers to get St. Anthony water. <br />22 Staff had been able to negotiate the waiver necessary to meet H.U.D. <br />23 restrictions on the $150,000 CDBG funding for the project, Mr. Childs <br />24 added. <br />25 He was shooting for a christening ceremony with toasts in water <br />26 rather than champagne to be held just before the Council's July 26th <br />27 meeting, the Manager said. He hoped the occasion would merit the <br />28 amount of media attention it deserved because the "City is at last <br />29 able to tell its residents and the whole world that St. Anthony once <br />30 again has good drinking water to offer its residents." <br />31 Manaaer's Report Hits Intended Target <br />32 Copies of his latest Downgradient report had been distributed to the <br />33 Council and Mr. Childs reported satisfaction with the report he had <br />34 from the New Brighton Manager that the Army had not been too happy <br />35 to see his comments on the City's frustration with the Army's <br />36 footdragging related to a resolution of the City's water contamina- <br />37 tion problems. There were no Council suggestions that he should <br />38 moderate the tone of any future reports. <br />39 Manager Doesn't Foresee Any Radical Changes in City's #6 Fire Rating <br />40 After Inspection <br />
