Mounds View City Council October 13, 1986 <br />Regular Meeting Page Nine <br />Mr. Cronin apologized and stated he was present to make <br />an administrative appeal. He stated they have not run <br />into this problem anywhere else, and while they were <br />fined two years ago, the problem somehow slipped through <br />the cracks and was not remembered until they received <br />notice from the City recently. <br />Councilmember Haake stated she has no problem with a <br />campaign billboard in the City. <br />Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated a warning letter has <br />been issued, giving Naegele 15 days to remove the sign, <br />then a citation will be issued. <br />Councilmember Hankner stated the City took the stance <br />two years ago, and political billboards do not follow <br />the Code, and she recommended sticking with the Code <br />and implementing the ordinance as it is written today, <br />and then taking the electioneering ordinance under <br />consideration sometime in the future. <br />It was agreed the Council would discuss it further <br />during their next Code review, scheduled for 1987. <br />Councilmember Blanchard asked that Items B and R 9.

She added she feels the hoses and sprinklers <br />can continue to be manually moved around. <br />Councilmember Quick stated he feels this is a good <br />buy for the money, and the system would pay for <br />itself during a dry spell, with the amount of <br />labor that would be involved, and the inflation <br />factor. <br />Councilmember Haake reiterated that she felt the <br />funds could be better spent. <br />
