Chief Entner, his wife and six other members of the City' s Fire Department were in attendance to present the Mayor with a check for $5,900 which the Department had raised towards the purchase of a Heart Aid cardiac defibrillator for use in cardiac emergencies. The presentation was made by Rick Pfeiffer, who, Chief Entner said, had chaired the fundraising effort. The City's appreciation of the hard work involved in the fund raising was expressed by the Mayor and Councilmember Makowske said she understood several donations had come from grateful recipients of aid with this equipment. The agenda packet included a- copy of the resolution passed by the City of Minneapolis which called for Congress to deal with the problems of aircraft noise and to permit airport authorities to deal with the problem. Mayor Sundland reported he had spoken just that evening with Chuck Wiger, who represents the City on the Metropolitan Council who had requested any resident feedback related to annoyance generated by flights over St. Anthony be referred through him to the Metro Council Chair who had recently been appointed by the Governor to head the study committee on the airport noise pollution. Mr. Wiger had indicated to the Mayor that he perceived serious action towards the noise abatement might result from this study. The general consensus was that, since the City's concerns were already on record, • only a follow up would be necessary at this time. The liquor operations sales summary for October were noted and filed. The Mayor asked Councilmember Makowske to see what information she could get from the Ramsey County League of Local Government to support his own assumption that the senior demographics were there to justify the change from condominiums to rental senior housing in the final phases of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment project. The Manager said he would be seeking the same information from other sources such as Hennepin County, the State and the Census Bureau. Councilmember Makowske said she hoped there would be a good City representation at the next RCLLG meeting on DWI sentencing guidelines, which is to be held in Arden Hills at 7:30 P.M. , November 20th; because the idea for the topic had originated with the City Council and City Prosecutor Ed Hance was going to be one of the speakers. The Councilmember indicated she had been appreciative of the opportunity to sit down with Patrick O'Meara of the .Hance firm to discuss just how the court works in regard to sentences imposed for DWI offenses. The RCLLG would be looking for topics for discussion during their meetings next year, and as a board member, Councilmember Makowske said she would be glad to convey any suggestions from the Council in that regard. Councilmember Marks reported that he would be participating in the Planning Institute training sessions in Owatonna, Minneapolis, and Brainerd the next few weeks. Mr. Childs indicated he had made reservations for Planning Commissioners Madden and Hansen to attend the November 22nd session on the University campus. • The Manager then reported seven people had expressed an interest in serving on the Planning Commission next year and he believed only one had been a repeat application. ,J -3- Mr. Childs then outlined the improvements in record keeping the staff had been able to make this year in response to changes suggested in the June 30th management letter from the City Auditor, the Helgeson Company. He said that overall he had been very pleased with the auditor' s report on the City. There was a short discussion of the statistical analysis of water quality from the Metropolitan Pollution Control Agency which had drawn a positive correlation between the passage of time and rise in the level of contamination found in the New Brighton Well #7 and St. Anthony's Well .#4, which, the Manager said, would enable the State Health Department to go back to the Environmental Pollution Agency to request funds to complete the study for action on a cost effective solution to the City's water contamination problems. Councilmember Enrooth pointed out however, that the con- tamination levels in the City wells were still ten times less than the Health Department's maximum acceptable requirements. Councilmember Ranallo said he is continuously receiving complaints from residents about the quality of the water the City buys from Roseville in the summer. The Manager said the staff has gotten some of those. calls as well , but he perceived any other alternative for providing drinking water while Well #3 is closed down would be much more costly. He promised to keep the Council apprised of the results of the study. Mr. Soth had distributed copies of the certification of the evenings minutes as they pertained to the issuance of $2,125,000 in General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds which would be required if the Council directed the issuance of that bond issue for Phases IIB and III of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project by passing the proposed Resolution 85-047. The Attorney said the sale of the bonds could always be called • off if the project were not approved by the Council after the Planning Commission meeting, December 2nd, and he added that his firm had been able to provide for an early call of those bonds, as had been discussed during the work session the previous evening. Mr. Childs indicated he had arranged for a new appraisal of relocation costs for that project. For the benefit of the press representatives who were present, the changes in the Council and Planning Commission meetings in December were reiterated as follows : November 26 - Public Hearing regarding housing revenue bonds for Kenzie Terrace; December 2 - 7:30 P.M. Planning Commission meeting to consider the P.U.D. changes proposed for the final phases of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project (replacing their December 17th meeting) ; December 3 - 7:30 P.M. Council and H.R.A. meeting to make final decision on the Kenzie project; December 4 - 5:30 P.M. Council sale of Tax Increment Bonds; if Council decision is positive; December 10 - Council meeting cancelled because of absence of some Councilmembers who would be attending the League of Cities conference in Seattle; December 1.7 - possible Council meeting to be scheduled at the Council 's November 26th meeting; and December 24 - Council meeting cancelled for observance of Christmas Eve.
