Mounds View City Council October 27, 1986 Regular Meeting Page Seven financial report to the Council, and he reviewed the activities of the Finance Department for the past quarter, and what they have scheduled for the next few months. Councilmember Haake pointed out that Mounds view's mill rate has not gone up in the past three years, which is great, but she had hoped to see that on the front page of the New Brighton Bulletin, rather than in the middle of the paper. Mayor Linke stated he was also concerned with that issue, and would be addressing it in his report later in the meeting. Park Director Mary Saarion reviewed the activities of the Park, Recreation and Forestry Department for the past quarter. She reported a number of trees have been removed due to disease, but the percentage is down over 1985. She also reported the summer programs had gone over very well and had a very good participation level. Director Thatcher reviewed the activities of the Public Works /Community Development Department for the past quarter. He reported the majority of fire inspection duties have gone back to the Fire Department, and they have budgeted for someone for 1987, to work for 4 or 5 months, to do both apartment and fire inspections in the City. Director Thatcher reported they have received verbal approval of the loan for the study of the planning area of Districts 6 and 12, of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, from the Met Council, and he asked authorization to retain the services of Gunnar Isberg, as had previously been discussed, in an amount not to exceed $14,825, contingent upon receiving written approval from the Met Council. Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed what would be done with the plan, and that it would be an 18 month process, involving more than Districts 6 and 12, and would be more than one document. He added he would like to move ahead at this time and not lose momentum. It was the concensus of the Council to wait for the written contract from the Met Council, approving the loan, before proceeding any further, as they did not feel the momentum would be lost. 14. Director Thatcher asked for clarification from the Council of exactly where they would like the stop signs placed for County Road H2 and going north, in conjunction with the planned JLN Development. He presented an overhead map of the area, indicating where he understood they wanted the signs. He added they would have the signs in place yet this fall.
