-3- A. copy of the February 11th letter from the Director of the Housing Division of the Metropolitan Council agreeing to prepare a housing bond plan for the City at no charge had been included in the agenda packet. The Council concurred with Mr. Childs ' statement that the City should be indebted to Dick Krier for becoming the first, and possibly the only, recipient of this free service. The Manager reported the Metropolitan Pollution Control Agency had made an application for federal super fund monies to aid the five cities in the Rice Creek Watershed District in solving their water contamina- tion problems . He said it was his understanding New Brighton would be provided carbon filters (_or water) during the time they are digging new wells and funds would be available to the cities to identify the source of contamination so that action could be taken regarding the problem. Mr. Childs indicated he and his staff would be taking the CPR course the afternoon of March 8th and invited any Council members who cared to participate to come as well . He had distributed copies of two pieces of legislation related to local government aid which are up for consideration, pointing out that, under the Voss bill , the City ' s aid would be cut out completely and under the Perpich proposal , would be decreased from $250 , 000 to $218 , 000 . Mayor Sundland anticipates the Voss bill would have little chance of passage. Regarding the proposed sign ordinance , the Public Works Director had requested all temporary signs , including political, should be taken down within three days, according to Mr. Childs , who offered changes in wording for several subdivisions of the proposed sign ordinance to accomplish this . Councilman Marks indicated he perceives it might be difficult for a campaigner to get all those signs down in less than five days and said he preferred that the ordinance not be amended in this regard. Motion by Mayor Sundland and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to accept the changes in the wording of Subdivisions 1 and 10 in Section 430 : 35 of Ordinance 1983-001 recommended by the City Manager . Voting on the motion: Aye: Sundland, Letourneau, Ranallo and Enrooth. Nay: Marks. Motion carried. Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to approve the second reading of the proposed Sign Ordinance with modifications by staff.
