He feels good that will be able to attend the final City Council meetings to <br />finish the job he was elected for. He will be receiving a series of treatments each month, but it <br />should not interfere with his desire to finish out his term on the City Council. <br />Councilmember Gray reported on this attendance at the National Association of <br />Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA) conference in September as a <br />representative of the Northern Suburban Communications Commission. He was very impressed <br />with the tour he received of the facilities at Lafayette, Louisiana where there is fiber to the home. <br />He was also able to talk with the Monticello City Manager. The City of Monticello was <br />presented with an award for the communications network they are in the process of building. A <br />video presentation on the fiber to home system in Lafayette, Louisiana will be prepared for the <br />member cities to view. <br />Councilmember Roth reported on his attendance at the St. Anthony/New Brighton Community <br />Services Meeting on October 1, 2009. The 2009/2010 budget projected a deficit of $112,000. <br />Over the past two months due to the direction of Wendy Webster and due to increased <br />enrollment in the preschool program they are looking at a revised fund balance with a deficit of <br />only $30,000. <br />Councilmember Stille thanked Councilmember Thuesen for his dedication and pointed out that <br />he arranged his treatment schedule in order to be able to attend the last three City Council <br />meetings. <br />Councilmember Stille reported on his attendance at the following events: <br />■ September 29, 2009 Joint City Council/School Board meeting. There was discussion on <br />the possibility of funding that may be available through Hennepin County for <br />improvements to the park shared by the City and the School District. It was also <br />discussed that kindergarten enrollment is now made up of 75% resident students. This is <br />a very strong indicator that a lot of new families are moving into the City. <br />• October 10, 2009 Fire Department Open House and Pancake Breakfast. <br />Mayor Faust reported on his attendance at the following events: <br />September 26, 2009 Grand Reopening of Silverwood Park with Councilmembers Stille <br />and Roth and the City Manager.
