The <br />leak was repaired and the road has been patched. The forcemain is owned by the <br />Metropolitan Council's sewer division. This is the forcemain that they are currently in the <br />process of replacing. I called the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to make sure that <br />they were investigating the spill. <br /> <br />* The election process went smoothly. No ballot boxes were lost and we obtained local <br />results days before national results were announced! Nice job to all of the election <br />officials. There was early morning and early evening congestion at the polls. We will look <br />at alternate polling locations for the next general election. I spoke to the Circle Pines <br />Administrator in regards to their elections. They have two polling places, but the same total <br />number of election booths as we own. However, we registered many more new voters than <br />they did which helps to congest the polling place. Centerville had approximately an 80% <br />turnout of registered voters. <br /> <br />* The groundbreaking ceremony was a success for the County Bank on Monday even <br />though the weather was not extremely cooperative. Footings were poured earlier this week <br />and it appears the foundation walls are going up quickly. <br /> <br />* The Planning and Zoning Commission meets on Tuesday of next week. The meeting <br />was rescheduled due to the general election. Council voted to reschedule the next Council <br />meeting to Monday, November 20th at 6:00 to avoid having a Council meeting the evening <br />before Thanksgiving. <br /> <br />* The Centerville Lion's may be once again distributing Thanksgiving baskets to needy <br />families. If you know of anyone that is having some financial difficulties and the Lion's <br />could assist them, please let me know. <br /> <br />* Enjoy your weekend! <br /> <br />11/9/00 <br />
