Mayor Lockwood moved the adoption of Resolution No. 82-92,
"RESOLUTION SUPPORTING METROPOLITAN COUNCIL DISTRICT REPRESENTAT-
IVE REAPPOINTMENT".
Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion.
Mayor Lockwood advised the Council that he has contacted Governor-
elect Perpich's office by phone to support the reappointment of
Richard Braun as Mn/DOT Commissioner. It was the concensus of
the Council that Commissioner Braun should be recognized for the
commendable job he has done as Commissioner, and that the Council
should support his reappointment. The Council acknowledged
Commissioner Braun's committment to providing good roads through-
out the state, along with the shared concern over the completion
of freeways, in particular I-35E.
In recognition of Commissioner Braun's meritorious service to the
state of Minnesota, Councilman Losleben moved the adoption of
Resolution No. 82-93, "RESOLUTION SUPPORTING REAPPOINTMENT OF
COMMISSIONER OF DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION".
Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion.
The Council acknowledged and discussed a proposed resolution to
establish a public hearing on the proposed Housing Bond Program
relating to elderly housing. Treasurer Shaughnessy reviewed the
various aspects of the Bond Program for the Council, and answered
several questions from Councilmembers.
Councilman Mertensotto expressed concern that perhaps the elderly
housing program is of a much larger scope than was originally
envisioned. Treasurer Shaughnessy advised that representatives
of the Wilder Foundation would be present at the November 23
special meeting to discuss the elderly housing proposal.
After discussion, Councilwoman Witt moved the adoption of Resolution
No. 82-94, "RESOLUTION SETTING PUBLIC HEARING ON HOUSING BOND

The Council briefly discussed the AMM legislative proposals
which had been distributed at the November 4th meeting.
Mayor Lockwood indicated that he would represent the City at the
AMM meeting and asked for Council concensus on the various
proposals. It was the concensus of the Council that Mayor
Lockwood be authorized to attend the meeting as the City's
representative and use his discretion in supporting the various
proposals.
Councilwoman Witt reported on the recent NDC4 public hearing.
The City Clerk advised the Council that the, easement agreement
executed in November of 1981 between the City and Somerset
Country Club for construction and maintenance of the Ivy Falls
Creek contained some incorrect descriptions. As the result,
an agreement amendment has been prepared to reflect the exact
area of the easement as is contained in the construction as-built
drawings. She recommended that the Council authorize execution
and filing of the amendment agreement.
Councilman Losleben moved to authorize the appropriate City
officials to execute an amendment to the original easement
agreement between Somerset Country Club and the City of Mendota
Heights.
Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion.
There being no further business to come before the Council,
Councilman Hartmann moved that the meeting be adjourned to
