3 <br />MSP (Hodges /Blanchard) To appoint Eldon Munholand, 5301 St. Stephens Street, to <br />be the Community One representative from Mounds View. 5 Ayes <br />Councilman Neisen's Report <br />Councilman Neisen discussed the drainage problem in the vacinity of 2111 Oakwood <br />Drive. He stated that it appeared to be a private matter since no Village <br />easements and no Village drainage pipe is involved. The problem results in that <br />a private developer constructed the line and now it is plugged allowing no <br />drainage into our surface water drainage system on Hillvie w. <br />Councilman Neisen also announced that the street sweeping after sealcoating is <br />presently being done. <br />Councilman Johnson's Report <br />Councilman Johnson was informed by Mr. Meyers that Mr. Lloyd Moen has been served <br />a summons as a result of damage caused to our sewer main on the 8300 block of <br />Red Oak Drive. Cost of repair was almost $3,000. <br />Councilman Johnson inquired as to why our zoning ordinance required garages to <br />be placed in the rear yard only. Since no one was sure of the answer the matter <br />was referred to the Planning Commission for possible study and amendment. <br />Councilman Johnson read the Planning Commission minutes for September 21st. <br />Councilman Johnson also requested that the New Brighton Bulletin retract the <br />statement that the auditing firm of George Johnson was hired to audit the books. <br />He stated that it should have been the George Hanson Company. <br />Attorney Meyers' Report <br />Mr. Meyers reporting on the combination of the treasurer and clerk position, <br />stated that in his opinion it could be done simply by Village ordinance. There <br />was no action taken by the Council. <br />Attorney Meyers also reported on Chapter 842 of the Municipal Planning Code. He <br />stated that it appeared that Villages where subdivisions of under thirty acres <br />were involved had the option of taking cash or land for park purposes. In <br />subdivisions of over thirty acres, the option was up to the subdivider. He <br />stated that it appeared only residential property could be figured in the <br />calculation. Also to his knowledge there haw been no court cases yet on the <br />issue. <br />Mr. Meyers stated that he has received an appraisal for the Silver Lake Road <br />proposed park property but that it would be wise to do nothing with the figure <br />except to include it in the bond estimate until the park bond referendum <br />question has been decided. <br />He stated that he has started a study of the municipal court system versus the <br />J.P. system and that he would have a further report at the next meeting. <br />Attorney Meyers said he did not receive a copy of the Attorney Generals Opinion <br />on the Community One joint powers agreement but that he does understand that it <br />has been declared legal. <br />
