A cop of the new order is attached. This new order which conforms o the M.A.M A. request of the Court to begin with represents a significant precedent for M A.M.A. . The fact that M.1?.M.A. appealed to the Supreme Court put ju ges and unions on notice that I�4.A.M.A. �vould not tolerate judicial yders of questionable legal foundation. . The fact that a number of communities agreed to share in th total cost of the appeal (total co'st estimated at less than $300. 0) the fee for each M.A.M.A. community was quite low. • This oncept of jointl,y sharing labor relations legal costs promises legal costs in the labor relations area at a modest level for each M co ity whenever legal action by M.A.M.A. is required. ..

Representatives from at least seven different neighborhoods ere esent at the meeting, expressing their concern. Z'he Park Commi sion commended that a more detailed study of the entire system be co pleted. you recall, a Trails Committee report was submi.tted approximat ly one d a half years ago to the Council. P.s a result, the Park Commi sion quests the Council's authority to e�and its activities in this area, consider a comprehensive trail sgstem in Mendota Heights. This study could ultimately result in a bond issue because t e greatest cern seems to be for the safety of the children along Dodd Roa and some e of access across T.H. 110. The fears for safety of the chil ren become ater as the new McDonald's becomes closer to reality, so that he Park mission feels now is the time to pursue the study.
