Motion by Marks, seconded by Makowske to direct Briggs and Morgan to <br />accept the partial settlement of $82,500.00 offered by defendants, <br />Minnesota Transfer Railway and Walburn Ltd. in the TCAAP groundwater <br />contamination suit. <br />5 Motion carried unanimously. <br />8 Mr. Childs commented that although there had been a lot of publicity <br />9 about the Army settling with New Brighton on its water contamination <br />10 suit, nothing in the way of a formal settlement or any cash payment <br />11 had yet been made by the Army to New Brighton at this time. There - <br />12 fore, if the City gets a cash settlement from the minor defendants, it <br />13 would be the first tangible settlement made to either city so far. <br />14 He said he seriously doubted whether the City would ever get any firm <br />15 settlement with the Army before New Brighton signs on the dotted line. <br />16 <br />17 <br />18 As the President of the Metro Area Managers Association, Mr. Childs <br />19 said he was proud to present to the Mayor the plaque from the interna - <br />20 tional organization honoring this form of government in St. Anthony. <br />21 He said the St. Anthony voters had chosen the Council/Manager form <br />22 of government in November, 1963. He perceived the City had made its <br />23 best efforts to uphold the highest standards of professionalism in <br />24 government ever since. <br />25 City Projects Underway <br />26 Mr. Childs reiterated that the St. Anthony reconstruction project <br />27 would be started next week and that the Kenzie Terrace traffic signal, <br />28 which is being erected in conjunction with that project, is already <br />29 under construction and should be up by the end of May or the first <br />30 of June. <br />31 NEW BUSINESS <br />32 <br />33 <br />34 Two residents, Maurice Ruch and Dorothy Fleming, had indicated an <br />35 interest in filling the second vacancy on that Committee and their <br />36 interviews were scheduled to be conducted by the Council at 7:15 <br />37 P.M., just prior to their regularly scheduled meeting, May 24th. <br />38 Contracts Awarded for Road Materials <br />39 Motion by Marks, seconded by Ranallo to accept the low bids and award <br />
