<br />..... At the October 4 meeting, Council approved a General Fund Budget for
<br />1977 of $617,405, up 10.8% from 1976. To finance the general fund budget
<br />and the debt service funds will require a levy of $309,413 - $240,413 of this
<br />is for financing the general fund budget, and $69,000 is for debt service
<br />funds. It is estimated this will result in a mil rate of 9.8, compared to
<br />last year's mil rate of 8.3.
<br />LOCAL CANDIDATES MEETING: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 7:30 P.M., VILLAGE HALL.
<br />The Arden Hills League of Women Voters is giving you an opportunity to meet
<br />your Council candidates. Although Mayor Henry Crepeau is running un -opposed
<br />for the Mayor's seat, there is a contest for the two Council seats up for
<br />election this year - five candidates have filed. This competition for a
<br />position on the Council is greater than has been the case in the past, indi-
<br />cating a greater interest in the decision-making level of local government.
<br />Using voter turn -out at the recent primary election as a yardstick, where
<br />1,134 people voted out of 3,173 registered voters, one can see each ballot
<br />will be very important in determining the outcome of our local election. The
<br />LWV and candidates are putting thought and effort into preparing for this
<br />evening, and it is hoped.a good number of citizens will turn out to listen,
<br />ask questions, and evaluate..... Candidates have submitted the following
<br />statements to the Crier, and we hope you will read them, and follow-up by
<br />attending the meeting.....
<br />Henry Crepeau (Incumbent) Mayor, 3517 Siems Court: "It has been a very
<br />rewarding experience serving first as Trustee, then Councilman and now Mayor
<br />of Arden Hills. The -many fine men and women who have served on the various
<br />committees of our city have been the real backbone of our government. In
<br />the many years of legislating we have had dedicated members of the Council
<br />who have made the position of Mayor much easier to function. I hope to con-
<br />tinue to help keep the services to the residents at the highest level poss
<br />ble but still trying to keep City expenditures within reasonable limits in

<br />Bad News Department: Sorry to report that
<br />sometime between 4:30 P.M. on Friday, Sep-
<br />tember 17 and noon on Saturday, September 18
<br />our Bicentennial Flag was stolen from the flag-
<br />pole in front of the Village Hall. You will
<br />;..
<br />recall the flag was a gift from the Coast -to -
<br />Coast Hardware store to the village of Arden
<br />Hills and its residents. The flagpole was
<br />donated by Mayor Henry Crepeau. The thievery
<br />was a shameful act, particularly in this com-
<br />memorative year. It seems futile to hope for
<br />•
<br />its return (or replacement), and sad indeed
<br />to see the empty flagpole.
