1 Mayor Thinks Legion Post Might Provide Bullet Proof Vests for Police <br />2 Reserves <br />3 When Councilmember Makowske reported having the above need brought to <br />4 her attention during the dinner for volunteers, May 1st, Mayor <br />5 Sundland suggested Commander Hearn of the Tri -Metro Legion Post #573 <br />6 might be able to come up with the funds to cover a $440.00 vest for <br />7 each of the eight Reserve officers. Councilmember Ranallo said he <br />8 thought if the Legion couldn't make that big a donation at this time, <br />9 the Fridley Knights of Columbus might be able to come up with some of <br />10 the funds. <br />11 Makowske Reports "No Thru Traffic" Sians Un on St. Anthony Boulevard <br />12 The Councilmember reported the signs which had gone up this week <br />13 indicated the Boulevard reconstruction would commence May 16th. Mr. <br />14 Childs said all through traffic from Highway 35 would be detoured but <br />15 an access to both the golf course and cemetery would be provided most <br />16 of the time, except when the contractor would have to close the road <br />17 completely for the final paving processes. <br />18 Metropolitan Airport Commission Telephone Number to be Publicized to <br />19 Enable Residents to Make Personal Objections to Increased Air Flights <br />20 Over St. Anthony <br />21 Makowske reported she perceived the above was necessary because of the <br />22 number of calls she had received related to resident unhappiness with <br />23 the noise generated by low flying jets over the City now that the <br />24 flight patterns have been changed. The City Manager agreed to insert <br />25 the MAC number in the City Newsletter which goes out with the July <br />26 water bills. <br />27 Mayor Sundland reiterated that he perceived the more calls the <br />28 residents made, the less chance there was that St. Anthony's problems <br />29 would be ignored as they have been in the past. <br />30 Enrooth Reports Recycling Task Force to Start Work, May 18th <br />31 The Councilmember said letters inviting all the appointees to this <br />32 first meeting had all gone out and he would be keeping the Council <br />33 apprised of how soon they could expect a recommendation related to <br />34 setting up a recycling program for St. Anthony. <br />35 Fire Station Draws Biggest Open House Crowd <br />36 Councilmember Ranallo said about 30 people, mostly young families, had <br />37 turned up to look over and climb up on the fire trucks. Because the <br />38 parents had all seemed so appreciative of their children being able <br />39 to see a fire station for themselves, the Councilmember suggested it <br />40 might be a good thing to hold open houses like this one several times <br />41 a year. <br />5 <br />
