• near the school lowered as they are in front of the school on County Road D. Mayor Haik said she anticipated no battle with Roseville over the decision of on which side of the street there should be no parking and felt the safety of the children approaching Wilshire might be a deciding factor since the Roseville children on that block are all bused to school. Conferences with County and State officials regarding a possible change in traffic flow at the five street intersection near 33rd Avenue had re- sulted in the conclusion that all way stops on that complicated corner should be continued, Mr. Short told the residents and he answered a ques- tion from Mr. Eggerts by saying there is little likelihood Roseville would reconstruct only its half of Highcrest since there would be no MSA funds available for such a project. Mayor Haik replied to questions regarding Roseville 's plans not to assess single family dwellings for the improvement by saying Roseville has ac- cumulated more MSA funds than St. Anthony has and a recent ruling requires use of all such funds within the next five years . All of St. Anthony 's available funds have been designated as required by the State for differ- ent projects including the City's share of the upgrading County Roads C and D, repair of the railroad bridge on St. Anthony Boulevard and resur- facing of some of the City' s oldest streets and it would seem to be more equitable for Highcrest property owners to bear a share of the costs of rebuilding their street in the same proportion as the residents on 29th • Avenue. The Public Hearing was closed at 9 : 30 p.m. Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to adopt the resolution which orders the reconstruction of Highcrest Road. RESOLUTION 79-020 A RESOLUTION ORDERING STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 1979-001 Motion carried unanimously. The meeting was recessed following this action and resumed at 9 : 47 p.m. for a second reading of Ordinance 1979-001, relating to City Personnel Policies. The February 16th reaction of the non-union employees to the Ordinance changes and the Manager's February 20th response to their memorandum were considered. The three employees present were invited to speak and Mrs . Johnson said her group' s reaction was a result of their not being notified of anticipated changes before they were formalized. The Manager ackow- ledged he had been unintentionally remiss in this regard and thought a meeting between himself and the employees or their representatives might clear up any misunderstandings and differences might be negotiated or at least better understood before the next reading of the Ordinance. • Motion by Councilman Sauer and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to ap- prove the second reading of Ordinance 1979-001 .
