Mounds View City Council May 11, 1987 Page Three Regular Meeting Councilmember Quick noted the Council had received a great deal of information tonight, and he would like to hold over any action until the next meeting, giving the Council an opportunity to research and discuss this at the next agenda session. Mayor Linke noted the building must be moved on May 12. Councilmember Quick suggested moving the building to a central location and then moving it to the permanent location once it has been agreed upon. Councilmember Blanchard stated she does not appreciate having everything brought to the Council at the last minute, and the information should have been included in the Council packet last week. She added they only heard comments from citizens against locating the building at Random Park, and she is not sure that that is the place to put it. Councilmember Wuori stated she agreed with Councilmember Blanchard, and she needs time to consider the various options. Mayor Linke stated he is opposed to Random Park, for reasons he has stated before, and he would prefer n7oodcrest Park, as a parking lot is already in, or City Hall by the well house, which does not have a parking lot there, but one could be installed. Mr. Foster asked if any of the organizations mentioned that would be using it had actually stated they would like to use it. Councilmember Quick replied there is a problem right now with scheduling with the school district, and the City gets bounced out very frequently. Mayor Linke stated there is a definite need for this building, and the problem is in deciding where to locate it Richard Eimer, 5225 Skiba Drive, stated he works for the Columbia Heights School District and, like the District, the City does not maintain equipment or property, once they install it. Mike Berry, 5237 Skiba Drive, stated he lives by Random Park and he does not want any more people in the park. Mayor Linke pointed out the area was always a park, and home owners knew that when they moved to the area. He ,added a park is for the use of the people of the community. Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 7:50 PM.
