R , I The Councilmember indicated she had run into Skip Humphrey at Rosedale 2 a few days before Christmas and had gotten his promise to bring whatever • 3 pressure he could on the Army to make an expeditious settlement of the 4 City's water contamination litigation. 5 The Councilmember indicated she was planning on attending the January 6 18th meeting of the Ramsey County League of Local Governments 7 legislative session at the state capitol where she hoped to discuss the 8 proposed 37th/Stinson semaphore with Commissioner Salverda. 9 Councilmember Makowske also reported asking the City Manager to look at 10 some signage near the Foss Road lift station which she perceived might 11 not be in conformance with the City Sign Code. 12 Sue VanderHeyden Reports Fruitful First Meeting of Persons Interested 13 in Having a VillageFest and a City Float 14 Councilmember Ranallo reported a cold had kept him from attending the 15 preliminary planning meeting for the above, January 10th, and he asked 16 Assistant to the City Manager VanderHeyden to give that report instead. 17 Ms. VanderHeyden indicated that she, as well as Apache Promotions 18 Director Barb Olsonoski; Fire Department Reserve Rick Lundeen; and three 19 residents, two of whom had experience with similar pageants in Roseville 20 and South St. Paul, were in attendance. She said the group had decided 21 on a VillageFest to be held the weekend of July 20-23 to include a 22 parade featuring the City's new float. A Miss Apache/St. Anthony 23 Village queen is also going to be part of the VillageFest celebration. • 24 The queeen, in 1990, may change to Miss St. Anthony Village with the 25 intention of participating in the Miss Minnesota pageant. This would 26 give the community additional exposure. As he had reported at previous 27 meetings, Councilmember Ranallo reiterated the advice he and Ms. 28 Olsonoski had gotten at the float seminar they had attended, that the 29 float's success would no doubt be dependent upon City officials riding 30 on the float the first few years with perhaps school officials taking 31 over for the Homecoming Parades. 32 Ms. VanderHeyden reported tentative plans had been formulated to hold 33 a St. Anthony Civic Orchestra concert, family games and a softball 34 tournament as well as a non-denominational church service as part of the 35 weekend activities. Councilmember Ranallo suggested it might also be 36 possible to hold groundbreaking ceremonies for the new music shell which 37 is being planned as the City's way of participating in the 1990 state- 38 wide celebration. She felt that it would be important to get volunteers 39 to work on the Float, VillageFest, and Fundraising Committees which are 40 being formed. The people who were in attendance at the first planning 41 meetings had indicated they expected good representation from all the , 42 St. Anthony service organizations as well as from their own friends and 43 relatives. 4 •
