PLANNING COMMISSION - APRIL 16, 1991 <br /> Page 15 <br /> 1 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL NEWSPAPER: <br /> 2 <br /> 3 Commissioner Faust showed the Commission his Metropolitan <br /> 4 Council newspaper and inquired whether other <br /> 5 Commissioners also receive it. He said that he started <br /> 6 receiving the publication after attending the Planning <br /> 7 Institute, and recommended an article in the current <br /> 8 issue regarding managing public outrage. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 FILTRATION PLANT DEDICATION: <br /> 11 <br /> 12 City Manager Burt announced the dedication ceremony for <br /> 13 the new filtration plant to be held on Thursday, April 18 <br /> 14 from 5: 00 to 7 : 00. Calgon had contributed drinking <br /> 15 glasses to the ceremony. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Commissioner Murphy asked about the possibility of <br /> 18 selling St. Anthony's water in bottled form for drinking <br /> 19 because it is so pure. City Manager Burt responded that <br /> 20 the possibility of selling water to other communities had <br /> 21 been investigated under the TCAAP plan, but such a plan <br /> 22 would probably not be feasible since St. Anthony will <br /> 23 continue to experience water shortages during high-use <br /> 24 periods, dry periods, and emergency situations. The <br /> 25 Federal government/E.P.A. design of the plant currently <br /> 26 does not meet St. Anthony's peak hourly capacity needs, <br /> 27 and the City will be in constant contact with the E.P.A. <br /> 28 office in Chicago to remedy that problem. Historical <br /> 29 records of the plant design and implementation are being <br /> 30 examined by Burt along with the P.C.A. and E.P.A. <br /> 31 officials to determine the source of the design error. <br /> 32 Sabo is aware of and supports St. Anthony's position in <br /> 33 the matter of restoring adequate water capacity to the <br /> 34 City. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 RESIGNATION OF ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER: <br /> 37 <br /> 38 City Manager Burt announced that Susan VanderHeyden has <br /> 39 accepted a position as assistant city administrator in <br /> 40 the city of Rosemount. He thanked her for her years of <br /> 41 dedicated and excellent service and noted that she will <br /> 42 be missed by him and the rest of the City staff. <br /> 43 Chairman Madden commented that the Planning Commission <br /> 44 has consistently enjoyed a good relationship with <br /> 45 VanderHeyden. Commissioner Faust recommended that the <br /> 46 Commission publicly thank VanderHeyden for her fine <br /> 47 effort and the hours she has put into her work over the <br /> 48 years. Faust commented that VanderHeyden had been <br /> 49 extremely supportive in helping him come on board as a <br /> 50 new Commissioner, and has always made her help available. <br /> i <br />
