1 Mayor Ranallo said he has received calls about the closure of the Recycling
2 Center. He explained to the callers that the Recycling Center was closed
3 because the City no longer receives grant money to operate it and, in addition,
4 recyclables are picked up curbside from their haulers.
5 Ranallo reported that the legislature is still considering rates for cable TV. If
6 restrictions are removed, consumers will be able to receive cable channels, with
7 the exception of community channels, by US West or Hubbard's disk for less
8 cost than cable.
9 The Economic Development/Redevelopment Task Force met for the last time.
10 Ed Hance and another Task Force member will report the findings and
11 recommendations of the Task Force at the July 26th Council meeting. The
12 Mayor expressed his hope that the Task Force will stay together because the
13 Council may need future assistance for the development or redevelopment of
14 certain areas of the City.
Mayor Ranallo reported that Michael Mornson, Larry Hamer and he met with
06 Payless Cashway representatives to discuss preliminary plans for the Knox
17 Lumber Co. Payless Cashway is in the process of purchasing property on the
18 north end of Apache Mall from the C. G. Rein Co. After the Payless Cashway
19 Board approves the plans, the proposal will be presented to the Planning
20 Commission. Before the conditional use request is heard by the Planning
21 Commission, however, the Zoning Ordinance will need to be amended to add
22 hardware and building supply stores with a lumber yard as a permitted
23 conditional use in a commercially zoned district. One of the water retention
24 ponds will need to be moved, and there still will be three ponds. The J. C.
25 Penney Store, which is closing in the mall, will need to be reconstructed.
26 Ranallo pointed out that customers will not be able to enter Knox from Apache
27 Mall. Knox operates about 200 of these types of stores, which are about
28 90,000 square feet in size. Knox plans to employ 100 full time and 25 part time
29 employees. The hours of operation they are considering are weekdays from 8
30 A.M. to 9 or 10 P.M., Saturday close at 6 P.M. and Sunday 9 A.M. to 6 P.M.
31 Ranallo distributed pictures of the proposed building and tentative plan. The
32 Mayor noted too, that the Planning Commission and Council will more than
33 likely need to hold special meetings for planning issues. The targeted opening
34 is spring, 1995.
Councilmember Enrooth said that the VillageFest Committee plans to meet on
July 13th and 27th. He added that the parade entries are being submitted at a

2 booth from which profits will be donated to the swim team.
3 Councilmember Marks reminded the Councilmembers of the dinner they will be
4 hosting for the President of Salo, Finland and his family on August 9th.
5 Councilmember Wagner met with the architects who are working on improving
6 or building the Community Center. The architect would like to attend the
7 August 3rd Work Session to provide Councilmembers with an update of the
8 plans. Wagner is hoping the decision to reconstruct or remodel will be able to
9 be made by September of this year. The Mayor suggested that Council receive
10 input from residents at Town Meetings before the final decision is made.
11 Councilmember Flemine noted that residents have relayed to her their
12 satisfaction with the street construction manager, saying he is cooperative and
13 even cordial.
Fleming noted that the Library Task Force is appreciative of the article in the
W Focus newspaper about the library. She said that Mayor Ranallo had sent the
16 new Library Director, Charles Brown, a letter and she suggested a definite date
17 be set for the meeting the Mayor had mentioned in that letter. Volunteers are
18 still needed for the door-to-door campaign for the library, which will take place
19 on Monday, July 18th. Councilmember Fleming asked the other
20 Councilmembers to assist in the campaign and said volunteers will meet in
21 Room 9 before 4:00 P.M. She suggested that the library message be placed on
22 the Kiwanis community Bulletin Board. She also said that in the Hennepin
23 County portion of St. Anthony 3,935 persons have a library card. This
24 campaign can serve as a reminder to card holders to use their cards. The
25 Councilmember added that she hopes news reporters will be present for this
26 event and that she would like to see it on the City's cable TV channel.
27 B. City Manager.
28 City Manager Mornson listed a tentative schedule for the Knox proposal:
29 August 16th, Planning Commission will hear the amendment to the Zoning
30 Ordinance for a permitted conditional use in a "C" Commercial, District, and at
31 either the August 16th or September 20th Planning Commission meeting, the
32 hearing for the conditional use permit request will be set. Councilmember
Wagner inquired if the lumber yard will be attached. The City Manager
responded that it was not and therefore will remove the word "attached" in the
35 proposed ordinance amendment.
