COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Hicks reviewed space needs for Northwest Youth & Family Services as their current lease expires in 1995. The League of Minnesota Cities Building would be an option, as the League will be vacating their current facility in the near future. The NYFS could purchase this building and lease the top floor to others. A fund drive would be a possibility to raise monies to pay for the cost to remodel the building as needed. Councilmember Aplikowski reviewed the survey and letter that will be sent to Arden Hills' businesses from the Economic Development Committee. Suggestions were made. Aplikowski commented that the intent of the survey is to raise red flags and that the Committee will followup individually. Councilmember Aplikowski advised the Council that Barbara Younaszai resigned as Chair and member of the Human Rights Commission and that none of the members in attendance at the meeting were willing to take the Chair's responsibility. The Council discussed the Human Rights Chair's vacancy, possible replacement, the Commission's activities and changing role. The consensus was to change the ordinance to allow for this Commission to broaden their range of duties, and for the Commission itself to be voluntary. Staff will followup on the change to a voluntary status. Councilmember Aplikowski advised the Council she had a request regarding Mobile Home Park water quality. Community Planning Coordinator Fritsinger offered an update on the review of water needs at Arden Manor Mobile Home Park. The Department of Health had been working with the Park during the past year on a backup water system. The primary well has safe water, the issue is with the State Health Department's involvement. Councilmember Probst requested that staff research a change in ordinance on the hours of recreational boating on Lake Johanna. It was noted that between the hours of 11:00 am and 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm and 7:00 am on each day of the week, no motorboat shall be operated at a speed in excess of five (5) miles per hour. Councilmember Probst requested a change to shorten the hours between 7:00 pm and 7:00 am to 8:00 pm
