He stated that Mayor Pickar had stated at the public hearing that he had had water in his basement, and that he did not feel it was possible for the Mayor to have had water at any time since he was a neighbor of the mayors and had never had trouble. Administrator Achen replied that he did not recall Mayor Pickar stating that he had personally had a water problem. Paul Pashiban, of Rainbow Lane stated that he felt the letter the City had sent to the residents was very informative but that he still had questions, such as how many people were adversely affected by the water and could those problems be alleviated in some other way, on an individual basis, and if any industries other than the airport were seeking to locate in Mounds View that would help the tax situation, and if the existing apartment complexes had contributed to the problem or reduced the tax load, and suggested that perhaps the surrounding communities could be benefited by the project and help pay for it. Mr. Pashiban also stated that he would like to see a vote on the issue, with a six month moritorium so that the citizens would have time to study the issue.
