- Meeting Overview:
St. Paul Park Mayor Keith Franke expressed deep gratitude to the Public Works and Public Safety departments for their quick response following a recent severe storm. Highlighting the collective effort, he praised city staff and residents for their resilience and cooperation in dealing with the aftermath. Franke emphasized that while the city did not declare a state of emergency, the community’s coordinated response was commendable. He also noted that the city’s compost site will remain open until September 9th to support storm debris disposal and encouraged residents to report any remaining power outages to XL Energy.
The meeting also addressed several routine procedural matters. The approval of minutes from the August 19th regular council meeting and the council workshop was quickly moved and seconded, with minimal discussion. The consent agenda, which included setting a date for an assessment hearing for unpaid bills and acknowledging the receipt of commission minutes for Parks and Recreation, was approved unanimously.
Council member Jeff Swenson announced the cancellation of the upcoming Public Works meeting due to a lack of agenda items. Bruce Zenner mentioned the Public Safety Commission’s continued search for new members and their next meeting scheduled for Thursday. Tim Conrad provided updates on the Planning Commission, noting the cancellation of their last meeting and the next one set for September 9th. Char Whitbred-Hemmingson shared details about upcoming Parks and Recreation events, including welcoming a new commission member and planning for community activities such as Bunco, Trunk or Treat, and a sliding event.
