Councilman Stauffer has arranged with Mr. McCloskey to give the council a presentation further explaining the liquor study Mr. McCloskey's firm prepared for the liquor operation. b. Discussion of Animal Control Program. Malcolm Watson, Columbia Heights Manager, Tom Lewcock, New Brighton City Manager and myself have been dis- cussing over the last several months the possibility of starting a joint animal control program. We have reached the point where if we are to cont- inue we need to know to what extent our councils will support such a program financially, etc. For example our contribution to the support of the pro- gram would have to be at least $5,000 annually. That compares to $1,320 we have budgeted in 1974 for animal control. We could expect to have the services of the animal control warden for approximately 1 to 2 hrs. per day 5 days per week for that sum as compared to our call system or short term general patroling we have now. ACTION-Council c. Discussion regarding Water Project Easements. We still have six ease- ments that haven't been signed although one of the residents has indicated they will sign. As many as three or four of the easements may not be absolutely necessary for us to proceed with the project. One of the ease- ments is probably absolutely necessary if we are to proceed as planned. The Council should make a decision as to how we will proceed so the engineer and attorney can take the necessary, action. ACTION-Council d. Discussion regarding Pathway Contract. Bituminous Roadways, the contrac- tor who built our pathways has completed the project to the extent we can at this time. I don' t feel we will be in a position to build any additional this construction season. The contractor would like for us to final the project so he can receive his final payment. ACTION: Recommend we final project and make final payment. -2- l e. Discussion regarding Lease Negotiations for Sroga property for Mini Park. I have made no progress in my negotiations with Mr. Sroga and unless the Council wishes to change their directives to me, I will discontinue my efforts. • ACTION: Council 8. New Business a.

ACTION: Provided everything is in order I recommend we award the contract and proceed as soon as possible. b. Discussion of maintenance of hills owned by Equinox. Councilman Haik requested that this item be on the agenda. c. Resolution 1342 City of New Brighton regarding pathway around holding pond. The New Brighton Council adopted the enclosed resolution following our presentation to them on 4-29-74. The s taff needs direction from the council regarding the proposed pathway. ACTION: Council 9. Communications/Petitions a. Letter-Dr. Lawson of N.E. Internists regarding parking. Dr. Lawson and other tenants of the Apache Medical Center have contacted me previously • regarding this problem and I have informed them that they should talk to their landlord instead of me. The landlord did increase the parking sub- stantially last spring but the anter still has problems at times. We can police the fire lanes better but don't have any control over amount of parking. b. Langer Construction Company regarding lighting for Goodyear Store. I recently met with Mr. Marsh regarding the lighting for the Goodyear Store. I told him of the concern some people had because of the 25' poles they had on the site because the city allowed only low level lighting. Mr. Marsh indicated that they interpreted low level lighting to mean low intensity and that the proposed lights were low intensity. He requested that they be allowed to install the lights and if they weren't satisfactory they would make adjustments. I agreed to his request provided we received a letter before the lighting was installed indicating they would change the lighting if the Council didn't approve of it. I received the enclosed, rather ambigious letter after the lighting was installed. ACTION: Council c. Southside Distributing Company regarding Ban the Can -Informational 10. Reports a.
