Mounds View City Council May 10, 2004 Regular Meeting Page 12 MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6244, a . Resolution Establishing Financing for the Mounds View Manufacturing Home Park Second Access Project with Option lA to Account for the Cities Costs. Rex Almond of 1046 Monte Claire indicated that he had spoken to the owner and the owner is counting on an amount of $6,000. Council Member Stigney amended his motion to not exceed $2,000 in City costs. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn. To Amend the Motion to Proportionately Divide the City's Costs Not to Exceed $2,000. Mayor Linke indicated that the motion on the floor is basically the same as Option B adding $2,000 to the amount the Mobile Home Park would pay. Council Member Stigney indicated he did his motion the way he did to keep things proportionate which is fair. Doris Heilman of 3034 Ardmore Avenue reminded Council that when this whole issue came up it was before the Ordinance changed on giving park owners the option of whether they wanted to open this. When this started they were required to do so by ordinance because the City street is not in compliance. She then said that, as she understands it, the grant money was applied for on • a proportional basis and it was a joint grant application. Ms. Heilman asked how much City Staff time was spent planning the development previously discussed and how much of that money will be recovered. She then said that their costs were to be 37% of the cost of the project. Mayor Linke indicated he would like to recover the City's costs from the point when the City and the Park decided to do move forward. Ms. Heilman noted that would be from January 2004. Ms. Heilman indicated that opening the back gate benefits other residents in the area and the street is a race track regardless of whether the gate opens or not. Mayor Linke indicated the complaint was that the people from the mobile home park are using it and they are opposed to that. Ms. Heilman indicated that not all violators are within the park others use it as well. She then said that the park owner alone pays more taxes than all the people who signed the petition a year ago, not to mention what the individual homeowner's pay. Ayes - 3 Nays - 2(Linke/Quick) Motion carried.
