Old Business A. Sewer Rate Revision. Memo from Jim Fornell to Manager, Mayor and Council. Letter from MWCC to Jim Fornell. I feel Jim has done a good job of analyzing our present situation and concern with his recommendation re: the new rate. There are some problems under our system with meter readings, etc. , but I feel the advantages out weigh them. The Public Works Superintendent and myself will be evaluating the use of remote readers in the future. ACTION: Recommend approval of Ordinance as Jim has revised it. 8. New Business A. Attached is a draft of proposed permit form, rules, fees, etc. , for holding of softball tournaments. I have provided a copy of this to the group presently requesting permission and expect they will be present to discuss. I feel the fees, re- quirements, etc. , are minimal and will prevent problems other communities had before adopting similar rules. ACTION: Recommend approval . • 9 . Communication/Petitions A. Letter from Senator Robert Benedict re: bill to put moratorium on taxing of all home improvements . Letter and Bill attached. I discussed the Bill with Vern Peterson, Executive Director of the AMM and he expressed many of the same concerns I have about the Bill and indicated that the AMM would prefer to see the legislature offer those making repairs relief through income tax rebates, etc. , instead of complicating the property tax system further. The Bill would also provide inequities for those who already have made repairs of built features such as garages into their home. ACTION: Recommend we take no action on the Bill but send a letter to Senator Benedict under Mayor Miedtke 's signature explaining why we won't support. B. LMC requesting payment for labor relations subscriber services ($750 .00) This fee for this service is the same as for the last several years and we are receiving more than our money's worth of service I feel. ACTION: Recommend approval . C. Suburban Rate Authority Requesting Payment of $150 .00 . We have • discontinued membership sometime next year but are obligated to pay this according to the Joint Powers Agreement Creating • the SRA. I doubt they would sue if we didn't pay but tech- nically we are obligated. ACTION: Council. D. AMM - Model Ordinance and Resolution relating to licensing of persons engaged as a business in tree removal or treatment. To date we have had no complaints regarding these types of business in St. Anthony therefore question the need for an ordinance. The resolution would be helpful I feel but I question whether there would be any degree of compliance. ACTION: Council. E. Memo from Jim Fornell to Mayor, Manager and Council re: Employee Assistance Program. I concur with Jim's recommenda- tion. I have discussed the program briefly with School Dis- trict 282 regarding the possibility of some sort of cooperative effort. However, it seemed like it might be a while before they proceed so I feel we should get started and attempt to coordinate our efforts with them as we go along. ACTION: Council. F. Letter from City of Brooklyn Park and Resolution requesting • expansion of the local government fiscal study by the State Planning Agency. Letter and Resolution attached.
