Mounds View City Council March 14, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Twelve Park and Rec Director Saarion and Commissioner McCarty filled the Council in on what they know about the issue. Councilmember Quick stated the City is faced with possibly losing a good deal of space at Edgewood, so it would be beneficial for Staff to look into it. Councilmember Blanchard had no report. Councilmember Hankner reported she had recently received a call from a resident who was interested in establishing an environmental quality review task force, and she stated that if there is a group of residents who are willing to devote their time, the City should utilize them. She added they could be a great benefit to the City. Councilmember Wuori had no report. Mayor Linke updated the Council on the progress of the fund raising for the Pinewood playground, reporting that they have raised $30,000 of their $50,000 goal so far. Mayor Linke stated he had received one application for the opening on the Civil Service Commission, which had been advertised in the New Brighton Bulletin. Motion /Second: Linke /Blanchard to appoint Gordon Fedor to the Police Civil Service Commission, to fill the vacancy through December 31, 1990. There was no vote on the motion, as a tabling motion occurred later during discussion. Councilmember Quick stated he feels a position of this importance should be listed as an item on the agenda, and he stated he has had two people express interest in the position. He added that the Council has not interviewed Mr. Fedor, as is normally done. Councilmember Hankner added that she does not like to bring things up of this nature as a motion either, without them appearing on the agenda. Motion /Second: Hankner /Quick to table action on this until March 28, 1988. 5 ayes Councilmember Blanchard Councilmember Hankner Councilmember Wuori Mayor Linke 0 nays Motion Carried
