• -10- Councilmember Marks Provides Further Information on "Ethics in Governments Seminar" The Councilmember said he would be getting copies of the announcement of the above seminar to be held at the Hennepin Avenue Methodist Church, April 4th to the other Councilmembers soon. He added to the list of participants he had given at the previous Council meeting by saying Hennepin County Judge Kevin Burke and Steven Young, Dean of the Hamline Law School, would also be speaking. DEPARTMENT AND COMMITTEE REPORTS The following were accepted as informational: *City Prosecutor' s report on matters conducted at the Hennepin County District Court on March 4, 1987 ; *February Liquor Operations Sales Summary; and *January, 1987 Financial Summary. CITY MANAGER • March 16, 1987 Staff Meeting Notes Mr. Childs reported Lila Johnson is home and recovering from her surgery. He indicated she needed about six pints of blood and said anyone who was able to donate could get her social security number from the office before going to the Metropolitan Medical Center do to so. No action was taken related to the request that St. Anthony make a donation towards the Hennepin County Fair in which there had been no participation in years past and which had not been addressed in the 1987 budget. Rest Rooms and Phone at Silver Point Park Reconsidered Mr. Childs had researched the above as requested by the Council at their last meeting and found: -it costs the City about $600 a year to have a phone in Central Park and the cost of installing and removing a pay phone every summer would probably be about the same; -there have only been a few instances at Central Park of unauthorized calls for which the City had to pay; -the leagues who use the parks have been given keys to open and close the restrooms and if there are problems with kids using the bushes, it must be because the coaches in charge are not opening the warming houses while their teams are practicing or playing.
