Business from the floor Tim Tuggle (James Circle) referred to a copy of a letter to Ramsey County from the City relative to suggested changes to the County map; map shows road connection to Floral Park from Royal Hills Plat (2-14-80); asked why street connection was shown prior to its existence. Deputy Clerk reported that she sent names of proposed streets and apparent map corrections to the County at its request; County wanted potential ss well ss existing streets to up-date its map. Royal Hills plat was under considerstion at that time; consequently the proposed streets were included, ss were the proposed streets in Arden Oaks, Briarknoll 11 and McClung 2nd Addition. Tuggle requested that rules and regulations be adopted for Coun- cil appointments; asked why seven people applied after the deadline. It was explained thst the deadline was extended; do not know why the seven people applied for appointment. . Tuggle suggested that a park board be established that would have a voice in the vote. It was explained that the current form of government (Plan A) is a 5-member elected Council; Committees and Commissions are advisory to the Council. Tuggle asked how this form of government can be changed. It was explained that larger cities under Plan B have a City Manager who makes certain admini- strative decisions; do not know of a form of government, at lesst in this area, that gives the park board a vote (possibly Minneapo- lis) . Tuggle asked how they can pursue not putting "black diamond" on the City streets. It was explained that the Public Works Committee has recommended the use of "black diamond/salt/sand" on the City streets next sesson. It wss suggested that the matter be discussed with the Public Works Committee (next meeting is Wednesday, July 21st). It was noted that the Public Works Committee recommendation was based on the cost differential ($2500t savings); black diamond mix stays on the streets longer; noted the Committee was concerned and cognizant of the bike tire problem.
