35 are not on the regular agenda.
36
37 Lowell Ludford, 2813 Townview Avenue, stated he has concerns regarding emergency planning
38 and that there is a need for public information and education. While other cities have sanitized
39 emergency plan copies in their libraries for the public, the City of St. Anthony does not. The City
40 needs to take a positive action regarding its' role such as brochures and postings. If there is a
41 metro wide emergency condition how much help can be expected from other cities. Local
42 governments need to develop their own plans. A slow decision hurts, and it is up to government
43 officials to assist residents. He suggested Council review and / or appoint a task force to address
44 a City emergency plan, which should be started by early next year.
lao Mayor Faust thanked him for his comments. He added City Council is proactive and as soon as
47 a sanitized plan is available and legal council has reviewed it, it will be made available.
