1 Councilmember Ranallo reported several residents, upon noting the City's <br /> 2 new entrance sign, had called him to tell him the fact that the • <br /> 3 lettering was for "St. Anthony Village" had confused them. He said <br /> 4 their comments were to the effect that the Council had told them not too <br /> 5 long ago that St. Anthony was required by statute to be referred to as <br /> 6 the "City of St. Anthony" and now, you're telling us its' OK to call it <br /> 7 "St. Anthony Village" . " Mr. Soth told him if the change was made, all <br /> 8 official documentation statutorily had to be identified as from the <br /> 9 "City of St. Anthony Village" but it might be possible to refer to the <br /> 10 community as "Village" in other situations without changing the <br /> 11 letterheads, etc. When Councilmember Enrooth indicated he wouldn't be <br /> 12 interested in making the change if it' would cost the City or the <br /> 13 residents too much to do so, the City Attorney said he didn't think the <br /> 14 change would be too difficult or expensive but he would check it out <br /> 15 with the Minnesota Department of State and report his findings back to <br /> 16 the Council as soon as he could. <br /> 17 There was concurrence that having two cities in Minnesota with the same <br /> 18 name is very confusing at times and Mayor Sundland pointed to the fact <br /> 19 that 67% of the community had responded to the recent survey by <br /> 20 indicating they chose to be identified as from "St. Anthony Village.
