,J -3- Mr. Childs then outlined the improvements in record keeping the staff had been able to make this year in response to changes suggested in the June 30th management letter from the City Auditor, the Helgeson Company. He said that overall he had been very pleased with the auditor' s report on the City. There was a short discussion of the statistical analysis of water quality from the Metropolitan Pollution Control Agency which had drawn a positive correlation between the passage of time and rise in the level of contamination found in the New Brighton Well #7 and St. Anthony's Well .#4, which, the Manager said, would enable the State Health Department to go back to the Environmental Pollution Agency to request funds to complete the study for action on a cost effective solution to the City's water contamination problems. Councilmember Enrooth pointed out however, that the con- tamination levels in the City wells were still ten times less than the Health Department's maximum acceptable requirements. Councilmember Ranallo said he is continuously receiving complaints from residents about the quality of the water the City buys from Roseville in the summer. The Manager said the staff has gotten some of those. calls as well , but he perceived any other alternative for providing drinking water while Well #3 is closed down would be much more costly. He promised to keep the Council apprised of the results of the study. Mr. Soth had distributed copies of the certification of the evenings minutes as they pertained to the issuance of $2,125,000 in General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds which would be required if the Council directed the issuance of that bond issue for Phases IIB and III of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project by passing the proposed Resolution 85-047. The Attorney said the sale of the bonds could always be called • off if the project were not approved by the Council after the Planning Commission meeting, December 2nd, and he added that his firm had been able to provide for an early call of those bonds, as had been discussed during the work session the previous evening. Mr. Childs indicated he had arranged for a new appraisal of relocation costs for that project. For the benefit of the press representatives who were present, the changes in the Council and Planning Commission meetings in December were reiterated as follows : November 26 - Public Hearing regarding housing revenue bonds for Kenzie Terrace; December 2 - 7:30 P.M. Planning Commission meeting to consider the P.U.D. changes proposed for the final phases of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project (replacing their December 17th meeting) ; December 3 - 7:30 P.M. Council and H.R.A. meeting to make final decision on the Kenzie project; December 4 - 5:30 P.M. Council sale of Tax Increment Bonds; if Council decision is positive; December 10 - Council meeting cancelled because of absence of some Councilmembers who would be attending the League of Cities conference in Seattle; December 1.7 - possible Council meeting to be scheduled at the Council 's November 26th meeting; and December 24 - Council meeting cancelled for observance of Christmas Eve.
