Mounds View City Council November 23, 1987 Regular Meeting Page Six Councilmember Hankner stated she has spoken with other mayors, and she would like to see a forum for all the Councilmembers to put together a resolution that they all agree on. She added they need to lobby Mounds View's position before trying to get everyone to support it. Mayor Linke stated there is a meeting scheduled at the New Brighton City Hall at 7 PM on November 24, sponsored by Commissioners McCarty and Salverda, to discuss the library issue. Duane McCarty gave an update to the Council of where the issue is currently, stating he feels the the discussion is down to one issue, of what will become of the Roseville facility. Councilmember Hankner stated this item was not on the agenda for this evening, and she felt it should have been postponed, to allow for public input. Councilmember Blanchard stated she was in favor of acting on the resolution, as this gives the County direction from the City. She added it is not written in stone but it gives the library board something to work with. Councilmember Quick stated he agreed with Council member Hankner's comments, the the item was not listed on the agenda, and he would like to get together with the Council's from the northern suburbs to discuss the options and come to a mutual agreement. Councilmember Wuori stated she felt this was a direction for the City to go, and they should continue their efforts for action by the library board. Councilmember Hankner stated she was not necessarily in opposition to the resolution, but she felt strongly the item should be listed on the agenda, and the issue should be discussed with the other cities, before action is taken. Councilmember Quick stated he is 100 percent behind the library, but that he is just opposed to the mechanics of this resolution.
