CITY OF ST. ANTHONY COUNCIL MINUTES July 8"-, 1975 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Miedtke at 7:30 P.M. The following were present for roll call: Sauer, Miedtke, Haik and Sundland. Absent: Stauffer Also present: Jerry Dulgar, City Manager Jim Fornell, Adm. Asst. Since he was absent when the motion to accept the agreement with District #282 for the leasing of Park View School was made June 24, 1975, Councilman Sundland asked that he be allowed to enter his opposition to the action into the Council minutes for that date. He said he based his opposition to a lease of such short duration and felt that there should have been more consideration given to the comparison of costs of remodelling Park View and the upgrading of the present City Hall. There was some discussion with Councilman Haik on the 4th condition attached to the approval of the Seils Sterling Circus as contained in page 5 of the minutes and it was indicated that sufficient security was being provided. Mr. Dulgar also reported that his contacts with Rochester had indicated that City had no problems with the circus during their recent stay there. He did, however, report that he had discovered that the circus intended using a smaller tent at Apche than they had previously used and that the owners had reluctantly agreed to have the City provide fire watchers with the circus paying the costs of the safety measure. He said the Fire Department felt this was a necessary precaution since it was anticipated that 2,500 persons would attend each performance. Motion by Councilman Sauer, seconded by Councilman Sundland to approve the June 25, 1975 Council minutes with the inclusion of Councilman Sundland's opposition to paragraph 6, page 5. Motion carried unanimously. The Human Relations Committee minutes for June 9 and 17th were discussed. Councilman Haik relayed the query from the Committee whether the City of St. Anthony employed an Affirmative Action Policy in hiring personnel. Mr. Dulgar said there was not a definite policy at present but that he anticipated one would be initiated soon. He said that, though most hiring is done independently, testing for the Police and Fire departments was done by either Minneapolis or Minnesota State employees. The minutes were directed filed. Motion by Councilman Sundland, seconded by Councilman Sauer to adopt Resolution #75-034. RESOLUTION 75-034 A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE TRANSFER 4 OF REVENUE SHARING MONIES Motion carried unanimously.
