-4- It was agreed that Mr. Hamer should contact Maplewood to see if they would be willing to have the .City televise the repaired lines to see . whether the new system would ..be a good one for St. Anthony. Mr. Soth indicated the job .would not have to be bid since the procedure is a patented franchise. Because the Sewer Fund already has a :$4.0 ,000 deficit and the City has no control over 770 of the rates which are- collected which go to the Metropolitan Waste Commission, Mr. Childs indicated he foresees a. raise in rates would be inevitable even without a $15 ,000 project this summer. The . alternate .measures which could be taken by northern suburbs if their water supplies have to be taken off- line because of contamina- tion were discussed at the latest MPCA hearing attended by the City Manager. Mr. Childs reported he had learned there is another vendor of carbon filtration systems who could provide that service for about half the cost of , the original quotes. Mr. Hamer indicated Minneapolis officials had demonstrated some reluctance to supplying water to the affected communities on apart time basis, No further action by the Council was .deemed necessary until after the EPA funded study of the City 's system is completed. Councilman Ranallo said he is anxious to see what would happen- to the City' s water supplyafter the New Brighton wells are .taken off the same aquifer they share with St. Anthony. Preliminary estimates show the City stands to lose $45 ,000 in state aid, or 200 of its budget, with the legislation which was recently passed, and Mr. Childs anticipates the same amount may be cut in 1985 as well. Included in the agenda packet was a copy of the motion proposed by District #282 whereby the School District and the City would make a joint application for $30.,861 in state funds to establish and imple- ment the St.. Anthony Youth Intervention Program under which the City schools would participate with Mounds View and Roseville in an on-going preventive program targeted towards youths who appear to be leaning towards serious problems. Tom McMullen, Community Services Director, was present to answer questions about the joint venture and Mr. Childs reported Chief Hickerson perceives the- program could be cost saving for the City since, once a child becomes a juvenile delinquent,, prosecution costs , etc. , are very high. Councilman Ranallo indicated he could see nothing wrong with the proposal since -the City could make an assessment of just how beneficial the program would be before a monetary investment had to be made. Motion by- Councilman Enrooth and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to adopt the proposed resolution which would establish a joint St. Anthony Youth Intervention Program with District #282 . RESOLUTION 83-029 A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE ST. ANTHONY YOUTH INTERVENTION PROGRAM Motion carried unanimously.
