• <br /> CITY OF ST. ANTHONY <br /> COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES <br /> February 18 , 1982 <br /> The work session was called to order at 6 : 35 P.M. in the City <br /> Administrative offices by Mayor Sundland. <br /> Present: Sundland, Marks , Letourneau, Ranallo, Enrooth. <br /> Also present: Dave Childs , City Manager and Larry Hamer , Public <br /> Works Director. <br /> 1. The status of the water fund was discussed. Gallons pumped and <br /> water revenues were down in 1981 . The need to raise the rates <br /> was discussed as well as rates in neighboring communities . <br /> St. Anthony is among the lowest rates and the proposed 5� per <br /> hundred cubic feet increase would not alter our standing. with <br /> respect to low rates . The need for a new reservoir roof was <br /> cited as a major expense coming up causing a need to maintain <br /> • the balance in the water fund. The City Manager was instructed <br /> to calculate how much the average water bill would increase . <br /> 2 . The .Council also discussed developments with .respect to the <br /> St. Anthony -Boulevard _b_ridge. _ The state. requires the bridge . <br /> —to be--36- feet--wide--as–opposed--to–the–planned--32- foot–wid-th-. The <br /> available options were discussed including (1) applying for a <br /> variance for a 32 foot bridge; (2) go ahead with 36 feet; or <br /> (3)_ scrap the project. The possibility of a vari".nce was not' <br /> good, however, if a 36 foot bridge is installed, Lire remainder of <br /> the roadway to the south will have to be 36 feet wide if it is <br /> ever reconstructed. The -additional cost of the wider bridge is <br /> about $13 ,000 to be paid from the City' s State Aid funds . <br /> Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to <br /> widen the plans for the St,. Anthony Boulevard bridge to 36 feet. <br /> Motion carried unanimously. <br /> It was noted by those present, however, that the action was done under <br /> protest to the state, since they should have known two years ago <br /> that the 32 foot design was not in conformance with their standards . <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 8 : 42 P.M. <br /> • Respectfully submitted <br /> David M. Childs <br /> City Manager <br />
