-5- Motion by Councilmember Marks and seconded by Councilmember Ranallo to approve the second reading of Ordinance 1986-0.06. • ORDINANCE 19.86-006 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ST. ANTHONY BY PROVIDING A, TWINKOME CLASSIFICATION Motion carried unanimously. The Manager informed the Council that the District #282 School Board had designated Peter Cartwright and John DuRand to represent them in negotiating a new lease for City use of Parkview facilities, but Mr. Cartwright would not be available for a meeting until the week of August 11th . Councilmember Marks, who along with Council- . member Enrooth would be representing the City in those negotiations, said he would be out of town that week. The Manager was requested to schedule the first negotia- ting session for the week of August 18th. Mr. Childs was then given Council direction regarding a personnel matter concerning the Public Works Department. In reference to the response to the Interrogatories Briggs and Morgan were filing with the U.S. Army, the Manager reported the attorneys had only listed the documen- tation which would be available to the Army in that regard. In addition to providing the Mayor and Councilmembers with copies, Mr- . Childs indicated he would be sending copies of the City's counsel 's eight page letter to Senators . Durenberger and Boschwitz, Representatives Sabo, Sikorski , Stangeland, and Vento, as well as State Representa- tive Rose and Attorney General Humphrey.

He said the City's consultants had basically looked. at the 13 water supply alternatives which the CDM study had considered and proposed others which RC1%4, believed also deserved consideration. The alternatives which the CDM study had dismissed as not feasible were also addressed. The Manager indicated the RCM study had suggested a Minneapolis water connection should have been looked at in greater detail , and he said RCM had suggested in their report that the option of digging deeper wells should not have been categorically dismissed because the City's consultants had gotten a differing opinion in that regard from the hydrologist they had conferred with who had said deeper wells could be positioned so they wouldn't affect each other while they provided the City with an adequate water supply from a deeper aquifer, at a cost fromia maintenance stand- point, much lower than carbon filtration. The RCM study did not agree with the EPA study conclusion that the Roseville connection would be a proper backup for the City's water supply if the carbon filtra- tion and air stripping systems they had suggested went out and, instead, suggested only carbon filtration be provided on Wells #3 and #4 near the school with a deeper well dug next to the City's iron removal plant to be utilized if levels of contamin- ants increase in the ground water or the City wants to use less carbon in the • shallower wells when the contaminants reach a lower level . The Manager pointed out areas in the RCM report where the study had questioned the CDM study computations and engineering and told the Councilmembers that although
