Mounds View City Council <br />.Regular Meeting <br />Page Thirteen <br />August 9, 1993 <br />Mayor Linke stated that in other areas maintenance such as street <br />sweeping and ditch cleaning will have to be completed and there isn't <br />enough money. <br />Julie Trude asked if the water fund has excess capita and it can be <br />transferred for the expansion of City Hall, why can't it be transferred <br />for these types of things? <br />Mayor Linke asked Ms. Trude to stop in to City Hall and find out what <br />the funds can be used for and how the funds are being used. <br />Julie Trude stated that she would feel better if she could see a list <br />of projects with price tags. <br />Mayor Linke stated that there should be a Storm Water Management Plan <br />at the counter. <br />Ms. Trude indicated that when she was at the hearing she did not see <br />one in City Hall. <br />Rocky Keene, Short-Elliott-Hendrickson went over a list of some of the- <br />. projects and their costs for the Storm Water Management Plan. <br />Peg Mountin, stated that in the Ardan area the builder was given <br />elevations on which to build the homes and the road was built later at <br />higher elevations. Ms. Mountin stated that the businesses should not be <br />responsible for areas where they have no input of surface water runoff. <br />The businesses are not contributors to the problem. <br />Mr. Keene stated that each and every part of the City has some <br />improvements listed in the Plan.. The projects listed in the Plan have <br />come about as a result of previous feasibility studies and were <br />identified prior to the Plan.. <br />Peg Mountin suggested that perhaps the utility be based on Surface <br />Water Management Districts and those persons in the problem areas would <br />be responsible for the financing for those projects in those districts. <br />Mayor Linke stated that the water comes in from Ardan and if it could <br />flow straight through there would be no problem, however, the people <br />north and south of Ardan and in the middle fill, up the pipes. Who does <br />the City assess then? The problem is a system-wide problem. <br />Mayor Linke referred to Chapter 8 of the Home Rule Charter and stated <br />if the City did go through the assessment process in the Ardan area <br />someone from the southern part of the City could bring in a petition <br />against the process and could stop the process. <br />
