He hopes this decision will be in favor of <br /> 9 keeping the Library open and will be the final discussion <br /> 10 regarding this issue. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Councilmember Marks , noting that the St .

He advised that Dennis Cavanaugh was serving on jury <br /> 19 duty and was not available to attend the meeting. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Joan Ahrens of Super Valu stated that the company ' s 1994 <br /> 22 budget includes opening a store in Crystal and at Apache <br /> 23 Plaza . The square footage is yet to be determined but it will <br /> 24 be anywhere from fifty thousand square feet to eighty thousand <br /> 25 square feet . <br /> 26 <br /> It was noted that the last privately owned franchise store was <br /> opened recently in White Bear Lake. This is a fifty thousand <br /> 29 square foot store and it is felt it is already too small . <br /> 30 <br /> 31 The City Manager addressed the relationship between the New <br /> 32 Market Store near Apache Plaza and Super Valu. Super Valu owns <br /> 33 CUB Stores . New Market purchases its good from Super Valu . At <br /> 34 this point in time there is no agreement between New Market <br /> 35 and Super Valu. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 There had been rumors that job postings were up for positions <br /> 38 at the Apache Plaza CUB Store and were removed. The City <br /> 39 Manager said this is untrue and CUB' s policy is to post <br /> 40 jobs about forty-five days before a store opens . <br /> 41 <br /> 42 The City Manager suggested that the City Council send a letter <br /> 43 to CUB officials stating its support for a store to be located <br /> 44 at Apache Plaza . <br /> 45 <br /> 46 The store proposed for St . Anthony would be a corporate store <br /> 47 and not a franchise. Final plans should be in place by <br /> 48 December 15th . <br /> 49 <br /> 50 <br />
