7 it is not within the purview of the City to become involved
8 with personnel issues . Members of the City Council received a
9 copy of the Mayor ' s letter of reply.
10
11 These three organizations lease space in the Apache Wells and
12 the Stonehouse in which the gambling operation is run .
13
14 A petition signed by patrons of these two establishments was
15 a-1 so received . The petition supported a number- of issues among
16 which were posting of winners , and respectful treatment of
17 employees .
18
19 Terry Taylor, Gambling Board Chair, was at the Council
20 Meeting. He stated he had not seen the petition before
21 tonight . Councilmember Enrooth observed that the Council can
22 do nothing until the three organizations respond . Mayor
23 Rana,llo requested Mr . Taylor to talk to members of his
24 committee and return to the City Council .
25
The Mayor received a letter from three property owners who
0 live on Stinson Boulevard . The primary reason for the letter
28 was to indicate what they view as negative impacts the CUB
29 store will have on their property values .
30
31 They are also concerned with increased traffic on Stinson
32 Boulevard , speeding, noise, vandalism and littering in their
33 area . They inquired if there will be additional police
34 officers hired to deal with the problems which may come from
35 this store.
36
37 Councilmember Marks feels the traffic enforcement in St .
38 Anthony is superior to that of surrounding communities .
39
40 Councilmember Enrooth suggested it may only be an assumption
41 and not a proven. fact that the CUB store will adversely affect
42 real estate values .
43
44 The City Manager observed that when Apache Plaza was built.
45 thirty years ago none of these concerns became an issue.
46
47 Mayor Ranallo recalled there used to be three grocery stores
48 in the City with their associated traffic. Now with fewer ,
49 there is little likelihood that traffic will ever reach that
50 level again .
