. -s- T he Councilmember then reported further on his-own participation in planning for a ten • year celebration of the Youth Service Bureau where the seminars would attempt to carry out another mission of the Bureau which is to "communicate to the community just what is going on with young people. in terms of abuse, suicides, etc. " Council - member Marks said he perceived anyone who attended these seminars would come away with some useful information about "just what is happening to our society today". He and Dave Childs had attended a planning session of the Chemical Abuse Information Committee that noon, Councilmember .Marks reported, where final arrangements were made for the meeting in September where al-1 students who are involved in any type of extra curricular activity in the school and their parents would be in about the rules pertaining to the use of chemicals which would be enforced for participation in these activities. The Committee was planning to hold another meeting some time late in October or early in November where parents would be taught to identify the controlled substances their children might be using, in which both the New Brighton and St. Anthony Police Departments would be participating, the Councilmember reported,. The August Fire Department and July Financial Reports were ordered filed as informa- tiorial as were the August 19th staff notes following a short discussion of the County Road D reconstruction- project for which,. Mr. Childs said, as he had anticipated, the contractors are seeking a time extension to complete. The August 8th letter froulJohn Graff of the National Weather Service Forecast Office prompted the following action: Motion by Councilmember Marks and seconded by Councilmember Enrooth to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the document which amends the City's agreement with the Weather Service to delay the provision of a report, evaluation, and recommendation for either accepting or rejecting the .Triton Doppler Radar until December 1 , 1986, subject to the amendment being also accepted by Kavouris, Inc. Motion carried unanimously. The agenda packet included copies of two items of legislative interest with respect to the City's lawsuit against the U.S. Army et al related to the- contamination of St. Anthony's water supply, which had been provided by Briggs and Morgan. The first reported Senator Durenberger's amendment of the Superfund legislation under which the Superfund conferees had agreed to reimburse the City for alternative water supply costs from the Superfund and the second article had to do with the approval of 385 million dollars for military base clean ups, which the Briggs and Morgan attorney had indicated .in his coves letter might or might not apply to the City's water supply clean up. In reference to the ongoing Park View lease negotiations, Mr. Childs indicated he perceived the School District might be reticent to sign a- lease for more than a year or two because they have committees working on a long range picture which is true of the City as well . However, the Manager said, he could see where it might be beneficial for both parties to schedule a joint meeting of School and City representatives some- time in January where a system could be set up under. which both parties would be making .positive "pro-active" plans rather than "reacting" to each other's long range plans for the future. • Mr. Childs reported the Kenzington managers had informed him that they would be having a Grand Opening from 1 :00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. , September 21st in which all Councilmembers would be invited to participate.
