-5- Councilmember Makowske asked why a City fire truck had been used recently to direct traffic near the intersection of Silver Lake Road and 37th Avenue N.E. Mr. Childs • reported the Fire Department had responded to an accident call when a very large gravel truck had turned over on that corner, and, fortunately, even though a street sign had been driven right through the side of the truck, neither the driver nor anyone else had been injured. The April Fire Department Report and Liquor Sales Summary were ordered filed as informational as were the Police Department reports for the first four months of 1986 after the Manager said he would report back the meaning of codes used to des- cribe moving violations in that report. Councilmember Marks noted that there had been fewer stayed sentences reported in the City prosecutor's listing of matters conducted at Hennepin County Municipal Court May 7th which was then accepted as informational . A copy of the May 21st letter from the Apache Plaza Merchants Association requesting permission to hold a carnival with rides at the east parking lot of the shopping center had been included in the agenda packet. When Councilmember Makowske inquired whether the helicopter rides would be included in the rides, Councilmember Enrooth said he understood that would probably no longer be a problem since the copter which had given rides in St. Anthony in the past had been the one which had crashed with newsmen aboard on the way to Austin, Minnesota. Motion by Councilmember Ranallo and seconded by Councilmember Enrooth to authorize the carnival/amusement park activity proposed by the Apache Plaza Merchants Association June 17 - 22 as per their May 21 , 1986 letter. Motion carried unanimously. The Manager had distributed copies of the April 1 , 1986 agreement transferring the City's animal control services from White Bear Animal Control , Inc. to Lake Animal Care, Inc., which he said the City Attorney had considered necessary before the City signed with the latter. Mr. Childs said the new vendor had agreed to the same terms as the former provider. Larry Jones, Bulletin newswriter, told the Council he understood the owners of the two companies were father and son and that the father had decided to concentrate the White Bear Animal Control services on Minneapolis, leaving the services to the northwest suburbs to be provided by his son's subsidiary company. Motion by Councilmember Marks and seconded by Councilmember Ranallo to approve the April 1st agreement between White Bear Animal Control , Inc, to Lake Animal Care, Inc., whereby the latter would provide animal control services to the City of St. Anthony under the same contract terms the City had with White Bear Animal Control . Motion carried unanimously. In reference to the Council request for some sort of timetable for the completion of the County Road D project, Mr. Childs indicated he had gotten a memorandum from the project construction supervisor saying he would anticipate the project, with the exception of the installation of the last wearing course in the spring, would be completed by September 15th. The Manager said because of the poor weather conditions last year, the contractor had only gotten in 42 working days on the project and had • 62 days remaining on the contract to complete the job. Mr. Childs indicated he
