Before the September Fire Department Report was ordered filed as informational, the Manager told. Councilman Enrooth.. th.e fall reported for September 12th had been from the roof at the Happy Potato Chip • facilities on Chandler Drive. Councilman Ranallo indicated he believed it would be very- -helpful to the Council to have the time of response listed as well as the date on that report. During the discussion of the various recommendations from Evelyn Holthus , Chemical Use/Abuse Coordinator Counselor, which accompanied the minutes of the September 20-th meeting of the St. Anthony Chemical Abuse Infor- mation Committee, Bob Oliver; 2617 - 31st Avenue N.E. , indicated he was still interested in serving on that committee. Mrs . .Holthus had indicated in her letter that two of the City ' s appointees had requested they be reappointed to the Committee and another had indicated her willingness to step down if the .Council had another candidate to appoint.

The Manager had reported in his October 7th memorandum that when he and the Mayor had met with school officials September 30th, the establish- ment of a joint City/School Marketing Committee had been approved. Also included in the agenda packet had been the Mayor 's memorandum to the other Council members in which- he discussed this seven person committee which would market the City and school district to young families who are essential to the community whose residents are aging and school enrollments are declining. It was his suggestion that the City 's appointees be the Manager, Mayor, George Wagner of the Planning Commission and Wil Johnson, - an architect resident. Councilman. Ranallo indicated he would have no problem with that initial committee developing the guidelines for a marketing program over four months and then continuing their service on a larger advisory board of between 15 or 20 persons, 'who would administer the marketing plan. He saw the value of such advisory groups demonstrated in the Kenzie Terrace Task Force without which, he said, he is certain the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project would never have been possible. Councilman Marks said he concurred -with the. Mayor's -recommendation that Wil Johnson serve on the development committee recalling the invaluable insight the .architect had brought through his service on the Planning Commission a few years ago. • Motion by Councilman. Marks and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to approve the establishment of a joint City/School Marketing Committee to formulate the guidelines for a program for marketing the City and School District to which the Mayor, Manager, George Wagner and Wil Johnson would serve as the City ' s appointees and to request a report from that committee be made to the Council sometime in February. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs . Makowske reported a number of residents who intend to sell their homes in the City are concerned their selling efforts might be adversely affected by the aid given prospective buyers into the Kensington condominiums by the redevelopers- of that project. The Mayor told her he could see no connection, with this marketing committee whose purpose would be to seek buyers for .all available property in the City and whose prime endeavor would be to keep the virtures of St. Anthony uppermost in the mind of all realtors . Councilman Marks indicated he perceives one of the marketing aids- which could be developed..by the Committee would be brochures which could be .distributed to large firms like his own in the area to let their people know there are attractive homes available in St. Anthony . Councilman Ranallo said the . Committee would probably offer the .same service as a Chamber of Commerce , which would attempt to market all types of property, including commercial and industrial, . as well as residential ,- which is available for utilization. • Included in the agenda packet was census data for St. Anthony which had been developed by the Manager with the Bureau of Census to specifically identify the seven neighborhoods in the City. He said a narrative had L -4- also been developed along with. the data.. and -map which could be utilized by the Marketing Committeeand .even by the redevelopers as . a marketing aid. As he had indicated in his October 7th memorandum, Mr. Childs_ reiterated that the owners of Chick's Billiards had surrendered. the 20 amusement devices they held for the establishment which is no longer .in operation in the City and - the procedures for transferring those licenses to busi- nesses which had already reserved .them by paying .the fees had been set up by the City Attorney.. Uncertainties . about four of the applications led to the. Council granting ..only 16: of the licenses. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to accept the surrender of 20 amusement. devices licenses from the Cheryl Strenger .Corporation and to terminate those licensesas of October . 15 "1983. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Marks. and seconded by- Councilman Enrooth to grant 16 amusement devices licenses .to the C. G. Rein Company for the Apache Plaza Shopping Mall.

That meeting was scheduled to be held at 5 : 30 P.M. , October 13, 1983. Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by .Councilman Letourneau to approve the list of election judges for the City elections to be held November 8th as submitted by the Finance Director in her October 6th memorandum, and to change the Council meeting time that same evening from 7: 30 P.M. to 8 :00 P.M. after the polls close. Motion carried unanimously. Nobody was present to comment on the final Revenue Sharing Budget and the required hearing was closed. Mrs . Makowske reported a hearing. was .being held that evening in the Wilshire School building for the purpose of taking testimony on the solid waste incinerator, which could handle 200 tons of waste matter a day, proposed for New Brighton. The Mayor told her several interested persons had mistakenly come to the Council Chambers earlier in the evening and had been directed to the. school He then asked her to report on that meeting at the Council ' s next meeting, October 25th. Mayor Sundland also commented that every time he sees the Mayor of Roseville he expresses the City 's protestations about Roseville 's enthusiasm for establishing a hazardous waste . transfer facility on -5- St. Anthony 's boundaries next to. the Gross Golf Course when they had so. • vehemently opposed such. a facility being constructed near Midland Hills .
