• 1 The Government Training Service offer to facilitate the above 2 had been included in the agenda packet as a reminder that pre- 3 parations should be made soon. Mr. Childs indicated he would 4 summarize what the 1986 session had cost and accomplished and 5 would contact the various facilitators Councilmembers had indi- 6 cated as soon as the Council had decided what the thrust of the 7 sessions should be. He requested Councilmembers let him know 8 which dates they had open for these meetings. 9 Impending Legislation Reported During Mayors Association Meeting, 10 November 18th 11 Mr. Childs said he had represented the Mayor at the above meeting 12 where the North Suburban Mayors Association members had been informed 13 that legislation addressing the costs counties incur with tax incre- 14 ment projects was being considered for the next legislative session. 15 Problems with soil corrections in this type of projects would also be 16 considered, he said. 17 No Action Taken Regarding Ramsey County Library Issue 18 There was no interest on the Council for getting involved in the 19 controversy about where the new library would be sited in spite of 20 the request from the Shoreview Mayor that St. Anthony support his 21 City' s position with the County Commissioners. 2 Childs Guardedly Encouraged After Meeting With Army in Washington, 3 D.C. , November 19th 24 This was the first time the Army representatives had specifically 25 discussed the costs of the damages St. Anthony had suffered from 26 TCAAP groundwater contamination, the Manager said. He indicated the 27 fact that the Army was now asking to see specific documentation 28 related to the City' s long term costs and indicated he perceived 29 their willingness to meet with City representatives in the near future 30 to discuss those hard figures might just possibly mean the Army 31 might at last be ready to settle with the City. He cautioned the 32 Council about being too optimistic, however. 33 First of _ Modeling_ Equipment for Carbon Filtration Plant Expected to 34 Arrive Next Day 35 Although the proposed carbon filtration plant would probably not be 36 fully operational next summer, Mr. Childs said indications now are 37 that there was a chance at least some of the equipment would be 38 delivered by then and work would be underway. He also reported that 39 the modeling equipment is expected to arrive on November 25th and 40 installation of this test equipment would start on December 1st. He 41 indicated it had taken some real effort to overcome some of the snags 42 which had occurred in the process. The Manager was thanked for all 43 he had done to get the project started. • 9
