In his July 6th memorandum, Mr. Hamer had addressed his conclusions regarding the M and M Development Company request for a three year extension of their connection with .the St. Anthony sanitary sewer system, which expires December 31, 1981. He reported the Roseville sewer trunk line -for the M and .M warehouse built just adjacent to the City' s boundary lines is higher than the building, and he believes a force main and lift station will have to be provided for that building, no matter- how. the .adjoining property is developed. He added, there is no guarantee the problem can be solved in any other manner in three years. Mr. Hamer told Councilman Marks , after August when Roseville begins providing .water service to the M and_ M build- ing, the City ' s provision of sewer service will no longer be cost effective. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to table the M and M request for continuance of sanitary sewer service until the questions related to the force main .and lift station for the M and M property have been raised with Roseville officials . Motion carried unanimously. • Nancy Papatola of Health Fitness Consultants had amended her proposal to provide a health fitness program for the City to encompass only Council members and .Fire and Police . Department personnel, since the employee survey had indicated only these persons had a real interest in the program at all, with the Fire and Police employees only interested in participation on City time and little or no interest at all in sharing costs of the program. The Nordstrom Agency had indicated to staff that if the program were to be conducted during working hours , the City would be liable for any Workman Compensation claims incurred: These factors made a vote of disapproval inevitable that evening, Ms . Papatola was advised, but the Council was willing to delay a final decision until after the school district has been contacted regarding a joint program with lower costs to each entity and staff has ascertained whether there is any interest for including the program in the next wage negotiations. The health consultant was also urged to- provide statistics supporting the cost effective- ness of the program. In ;his August 3rd memorandum, Chief Hickerson had recommended a City ordinance amendment to provide the same penalty as the State for possession of a small amount of marijuana in a motor vehicle , making the offense a misdemeanor, rather than. a petty misdemeanor. Mr. Soth said neither he nor the City prosecutor perceived any problems with the change. -3- Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by .Councilman Ranallo to direct City- staff to develop an .amendment to Section 965 of the City ordinance to reflect the recommended changes related to the penalty for marijuana possession. in- a motor vehicle.' Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Hamer presented. a geological survey, which along with the July 30th analytical study of the City' s .water supply by the Minnesota Depart- ment of Health, supported his contention that the potential for contamination- problems for St. Anthony, possibly from the Twin City Arsenal property, is practically non-existent. The Council ' s budget hearings with the Fire and Police department heads were tentatively . scheduled from 6 :30 P.M. to 9 :30 P.M. , September 9th and with the City Clerk and Public Works Director from 6 : 30 P.M. to 9 :00 P .M. , September 16th in order that the City budget can be verified by the Council at their September 22nd meeting.
