Fran Schuck and Fugene Palmer, mechanical project engineers, of Construct- ive Design gave a sum_mary of the bids and their recommendations regarding acceUtance of one of the bids which had been received that afternoon for a general contractor for the remodelling of the St. Ant-horsy Municipal Liquor Tounge. They explained why the unique nature of the heating and vent:.).ation requiz-ed for the job led them to recommend acceptanoP of tt_e Henning Nelson Company who were the low bidders. Motion by Councilman Sauer, seconded by Councilman Sundl_and to accept the bids and award the contract for General Contractor to Henning Nelson for $172,400.00 and to authorize the Mayor and Manager to sign the contracts. Motion carried. Mr. Schuck reported that two other companies besides the Harrison House were going to bid on the bar equipment and furniture and the bids would be in by the June 4th Special Council Meeting. Mr. Tom Bronner, Republican Party Chairman for St. Anthony who had previously addressed the Council during the public hearing gave the reasons he felt use of city facilities for political parties' meetings was justified. Mr. Dulgar told the Council the reasons the policy had been made in the past for not allowing such a use of the Village facilities and stated his own objections remained as they had at that time. Motion by Mayor Miedtke, seconded by Councilman Sauer that political parties be allowed the use of city facilities for their political meetings and to direct the City Manager to bring to the next Council meeting the rules and regulations so that this change can be incorporated into them. Voting on the motion: Aye: Sauer, Sundland, Miedtke Nay: Stauffer Abstain: Haik Motion carried. Since Mr. Jerry McCloskey did not appear to give a furthek presentation explaining the liquor study his firm prepared for the liquor operation, no action was taken on the matter. Motion by Mayor Miedtke to place in the budget for next year the amount of $5,000 as St. Anthony's contribution to the joint animal control program with Columbia Heights and New Brighton. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilman Haik and Stauffer expressed a desire to inform the public of hair much it is costing them to enforce the leasing laws for the city. • Motion by Councilman Sundland, seconded by Councilman Stauffer to direct the City Manager to discontinue his negotiations for the Sroga property for a mini park.
