CITY. OF ST. ANTHONY
• COUNCIL' WORK_ SESSION MINUTES
April 5 , 198.2
7 : 30 P.M.
The meeting was .called to order. by Mayor.. Sundland and the following
were also present: Councilmen Enrooth, Letourneau, Marks and Ranallo;
David Childs , City Manager. and Ray 'Nelson, .Liquor. Operations Manager .
(1) Water rate increase. Discussions. about the status of the water
fund took place including the .need -to- replace the roof on the
2 million. gallon .reservoir and to reline the inside of the water
tower.. Declining water .usage is probably due to declining average
family size in. the City along with increasing median age. Com-
parisons of rates in other communities were discussed and staff
reported .that they will recommend a 7G per hundred. cubic foot
increase in rates at the April 13th City Council meeting. This
increase would still. place the City among the lowest rates in the
North Suburban area. Staff will- also recommend- that the rate
become effective on- July 1 , 1982 .
(2) Liquor operation. The City Council , City Manager and Liquor
Manager.-reviewed the record of sales , expenses and profit for the
municipal liquor operation from 1974 to- the present. They also
• discussed possible locations for a new on and off sale operation
which may be needed when the City'_s: lease at Apache' Plaza expires
in a few years . They -also discussed .ways 'of enhancing the
present.. operation at Store # 1. The profit picture has continued
to rise. and the profits from- the liquor operation account for
25% of the City' s General Fund and .without the income , the .City ' s-
share of the property mill rate- would nearly double.
(.3) Those present also briefly discussed the proposed fence ordin-
ance , the results of the interviews for consultants for employee
performance/self-image enhancement as well as the effect of the
latest round of budget cuts .
The meeting adjourned at 9 : 15 P.M.
