Mr. Johnson presented a petition from area residents. Eng. Hubbard stated that NSP is compiling a study of all street lights in the City and he suggested that any action be postponed until the study was completed. Mr. Johnson asked if the two intersections he had mentioned would receive any extra consideration. Mayor Pickar replied that they might, but he would have to wait until the NSP study was released before taking any action. Margaret Mountin, 8287 Red Oak Drive, stated that she had recently attended a public participation meeting on state transportation plan- ning and that the City of Mounds View had not participated and ques- tioned the Council on its absence. She brought along pamphlets which were distributed at the meeting and Mayor Pickar stated he did not recall receiving any booklets in the mail on the meeting. A May 9 deadline has been established for cataloging all the input and ideas for transportation planning. Admin. Achen stated that MNDOT was duplicating to some extent what the Metro Council has been working on, and the City is active with the Metro Council. Councilmember Hodges recognized Ronald Olson, President of the Mounds View Lions Club, present at the City Council meeting and requested that the Counc consider the request by the Lions Club for permission to conduct a used car flea market and advertise such on a single sign, as they did last year. Last year the Council limited the market to Saturdays from the hours of 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It was stipulated that all cars were to be removed from the Launch- ing Pad parking lot no later than 6:00 PM each day of the sale and the display of six small BURMA SHAVE TYPE signs were authorized for the day of the sale only.
