. 1 During the discussion of the October liquor operations sales summary, 2 Councilmember Ranallo drew attention to the latest Minnesota League of 3 Cities magazine where an analysis was made of the St. Anthony liquor 4 operation in 1986 , which he compared to the Columbia Heiqhts opera- s tion, which ranked second in the state in net income. The Council- 6 member wondered whether those figures disputed the City Liquor 7 Manager' s claim that "the business just isn' t there" and whether St. 8 Anthony should be making a better effort to improve its operation. 9 The report was ordered filed after the City Manager had acknowledged 10 his comments. 11 CITY MANAGER REPORTS 12 November 3 , 1987 Staff Meeting Notes 13 *Amoco Representatives Demonstrate Safety of Oil Pipelines 14 Under St. Anthony 15 In reference to his November 9th meeting to discuss emergency 16 procedures to be followed in the unlikely event that the oil 17 lines which run under the northeast corner of the City should 18 ever rupture, Mr. Childs reiterated much of the information he 19 had given the Council right after the Williams pipeline rupture 20 in Moundsview. He said the lines are lower pressure by the 21time they reach St. Anthony, having originated in Fargo and 02 terminating in the tanks in Roseville. 23 Another big difference between the Amoco and the Williams Bros. 24 operations, the Manager said, is the short distance to Amoco' s 25 closest shutoff between Fridley and Brooklyn Center and Willi- 26 ams ' shutoff which is 40 or 50 miles away. Mr. Childs drew 27 attention to the fewer deaths attributed to pipeline transporta- 28 tion with far fewer than to either truck or train transporta- 29 tion and said in terms of pipeline maintenance, losses, and 30 problems in the State of Minnesota, there is a magnitude of 31 difference between Amoco and Williams Bros. 32 *Manager Reports On New Police Reserves 33 In reference to Chief Hickerson' s report related to the seven 34 new Police Reserves who are now in training, Mr. Childs said a 35 number of these have years of experience in the Minneapolis 36 Reserves, which will require less first response training and 37 make new programs more probable. He indicated that just as 38 soon as the Reserves receive their uniforms, they would be in 39 for a visit with the Council, probably within a month. 40 Section 8 Inspection Services Contract to be Executed 41 The Metropolitan Council H.R.A.
