• State Representative Steve Novak then addressed the Council assuring them of his availability to them whenever they might need him for in- formation about aid with any legislation which might affect the City and its residents . He expressed the desire to serve as a conduit be- tween the City and the State Legislature through which the lines of communication could be kept open. He suggested trying to set up a meeting date in which he and other legislators who represent St. Anthony could sit down with the Council members and discuss such matters as levy limitations, state aid to municipalities and the exhorbitant raises in liability insurance fees which the City officials have in- dicated are their greatest concerns. He also thanked Mr. Dulgar for pointing out to him the lack of communication between the City officials and the Ramsey County Legislative Program group. Representative Novak said he hoped to be able to better serve the concerns fo his constitu- ents through his membership on the Crime and Transportation Councils and the Minnesota House Tax Committee. The Mayor expressed the appreciation of the Council for Representative Novak' s visit and the Manager was requested to set up as soon as pos- sible an informal meeting with the Council and any other State Legis- lators who are able to attend.

The Council then considered the written re- quest which had been written by Mr. Hiebel as General Chairman of the proposed event, which would require the use of three baseball diamonds at Central Park from 9 :00 A.M. to 6 :00 P.M. both days and probably only one diamond for one game on Sunday morning at Silver Point Park.
