COUNCIL REPORTS Council Expresses City's Appreciation of Commissioner Bowerman's Years of Service on the Commission Mayor Sundland said the Council shared the Commissioners' regrets about Commissioner Bowerman's leaving the Planning Commission after twelve plus years of valuable service on that body. He indicated the City would be formally recognizing that service soon. The Mayor said in the letter of resignation he had received from Com- missioner Bowerman, the Commissioner had indicated he would be willing to serve through January if the City had failed to find his replacement by then. Councilmember Makowske asked Larry Jones and Carol Adelmann, newswriters for the Bulletin and the Northeaster, to write articles in their papers which would let residents know that the City was seeking applicants to fill a 3 year and a 1 year • term on the Planning Commission in 1987. Councilmember Ranallo suggested staff should also contact persons who had applied to serve on the Commission in the past to see if they still had an interest in being considered for appointment. It was agreed that applications would be taken until 4:30 P.M. , Friday, December 20th, with Council interviews to be held the first week in January. _ Mayor to Serve on MMA Faculty Mayor Sundland indicted he had been asked to lead the discussions on natural dis- asters during the Minnesota Mayors' Association meeting to be held December 12th and 13th at the Ramada Hilton on Hudson Road. Other participants in the disaster preparedness symposium will be Lloyd Lund of the Minnesota Division of Emergency Services and Don Pauley, City Administrator and Jerry Linke, Mayor of MoundsView, who will be reporting on the man-made disaster their city experienced recently. Councilmember Enrooth Reports Possible Catastrophe in Middle Mississippi Watershed District Councilmember Makowske thanked the Councilmember for filling in for her at the November 19th Ramsey County League of Local Governments meeting where he spoke on the above subject. Councilmember Enrooth said he perceived the watershed district might have been looking for problems which didn't exist except for the disturbing prediction by the Minneapolis Engineer. The engineer seemed to think there miqht be a possibility • of having the whole upper Mississippi region turned into an area similar to the Missouri River flood plain in the event the St. Anthony Falls went out. The Councilmember indicated the only way this could be avoided would be for the water- shed district to address runoff into the Mississippi and try to keep it as clean as possible.
