-4- Councilmembers Marks and Enrooth both indicated an interest in serving on the • Transportation Advisory Board for which nominations were sought in ,the AMM;'Bulletin. The former said he would appreciate the Council supporting his appointment to the Transportation Advisory Board and the latter said he just wanted to be considered to serve the community in some capacity on a committee. Mr. Childs indicated he had always been very impressed with this Council 's willingness to donate their time outside the City. He said the St. Anthony City officials were more active on state and national committees, than any other municipality he knew of, including the largest metropolitan cities where only staff members attend meetings. The Mayor Pro Tem said � it, was certainly true that the Council might never have realized the issue of the hazardous waste facility had never really died if he had not heard the "rumblings about it" at the LMC commission meeting.

He reported it had also cost less to stripe them. . ,, .•It was noted that the St.--Anthony Rb ulevard; reconstruction -project was on schedule without any of the resident complaints received about the County Road D project.

"Before .discussing the correspondence from Mounds View related to the Williams Company pipeline rupture, Mr. Childs told the Council members he and Mr. Hamer had met the previous day with representatives of Amoco Oil whose pipelines cross Silver Lane in the northeast section of the City, pass under Highcrest and Mirror Lake Manors and enter Roseville near Wilshire School in Highcrest Road, to discuss the safety of that line.. The Manager said they .had learned that the highest pressure point carry- ing from 1 ,200 to 1 ;500 pounds .per square inch, is near Moorhead, Minnesota with the lowest pressure at this end of the line, carrying about 150 pounds of pressure per square inch. Mr. Childs said he and the Public Works Director had been very impressed with Amoco's safety record as well as the oil company's practice 'of inspect- ing and testing the pipeline for corrosion each month. Staff had found the Amoco representatives "very .cooperative" and had been "very comfortable" with the oil company assurances that any emergency would get a quick response from Amoco and the shut off .procedures which would be employed. The Council concurred with the Manager • ,that neither the ordinance nor. resolution Mounds View was requesting the City pass was necessary when it came to the pipelines under St. Anthony or would "add to the strength of Mounds View's position".
