City Manager <br />Morrison replied that the Over Time Budget was exceeded in December; however, the total <br />General Fund budget will be under. <br />Councilmember Stille requested City Manager Mornson pass on a resident's commendations on <br />the secondary snow removal to Public Works Director Jay Hartman. <br />Mayor Faust stated a proposal has been made to reduce commercial property taxes back to 2009 <br />levels. He stated when you reduce one class of property tax it is pushed on to another class, and <br />that it may be more important now than it was in the past to express their opinion to the <br />legislature. <br />Councilmember Roth reported on his attendance at the Cable Commission meeting last week. <br />Meeting locations will be moved among the member cities over the next four to five months <br />while the new space is under construction. There will be an open house for the community once <br />the new space is completed in June or July of this summer. <br />Councilmember Stille: No report. <br />Councilmember Gray: No report. <br />Councilmember Jenson: No report. <br />Mayor Faust reported on his attendance at the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization <br />(MWMO) meeting today. He was elected Chair for 2011. He has indicated this is the last year <br />he will serve as Chair, as 93.4% of the MWMO is in Minneapolis. He reported that Six Cities <br />Watershed Management Organization will be dissolving. The MWMO Board discussed the <br />ramifications if the organization were to take in the cities of Fridley, Columbia Heights, and <br />Hilltop. <br />Mayor Faust reported that he and City Manager Morrison attended the annual meeting with the <br />mayors, administrators, and police chiefs of Lauderdale and Falcon Heights. The cities are <br />happy with the service provided by St. Anthony. <br />VIII. COMMUNITY FORUM. <br />Mayor Faust invited residents to come forward at this time and address the Council on items that <br />are not on the regular agenda. <br />Mr. Stanley Kasal, 2801 Silver Lake Road, addressed the City Council and extended his <br />compliments to the public works crew for the sidewalk and street snow removal on Silver Lake <br />Road. <br />0 <br />
