City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br />April 22, 2025 <br />Page 11 <br />1 XI.COMMUNITY FORUM. <br />2 <br />3 Ms. Joan Peterson, 3200 Hilldale, thanked the Council for everything they do. She referred to the <br />4 meeting where Partners in Energy was reviewed. She is not aware of a solid plan on how to <br />5 recycle solar panels or wind turbines. She referred to electric heated homes, and asked if the City <br />6 was going to track what type of appliances individual homes plan to use. She feels if the City <br />7 were to track that, it would be an invasion of privacy. There will be a huge demand for <br />8 electricity. There have been random outages in St. Anthony in the past few years without a <br />9 storm. Excel does not have the capacity today. Excel will make billions of dollars on this. Ms. <br />10 Peterson spoke about the transportation plan. She had a conversation with Councilmember <br />11 Doolan about getting kids to walk to school. She is disappointed that two Council members <br />12 endorsed a candidate in the last election. <br />13 <br />14 Ms. Sherry Grandrude, St. Anthony Village, has lived here for 40 years. She requested feedback <br />15 on the Tibyan Center. She was at the City Council meeting six months ago when this was <br />16 discussed. At that time, it seemed it was not going to “fly”. She heard that because of the threat <br />17 of litigation, there was no option but to approve the Center. She asked why it was on the agenda, <br />18 but it was not discussed. She would like an update on whether the Tibyan Center is meeting the <br />19 deadlines posed. <br />20 <br />21 XII.INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. <br />22 <br />A.23 Future Agenda Items. <br />24 <br />25 The next Work Session Meeting and Regular Council Meeting will be held on May 13, 2025. <br />26 <br />27 Councilmember Doolan reminded all it is Earth Week with a lot of activities planned.
