Mounds View City Council <br />~egular Meeting <br />• <br />Page Eight <br />August 9, 1993 <br />At a time when the businesses are having problems .the City Council is <br />trying to revoke the sunset clause which was placed on the streetlight <br />utility as a stop gap or check and balance, <br />Mr. Wolens stated that the Council is constantly attempting to increase <br />the cost of doing business in Mounds View. Mr. Wolens stated that it <br />is more costly to do business in Mounds View than it is in Blaine and <br />in many other cities. The City of Mounds View is constantly spending <br />more money. Mr. Wolens stated that if the City continues to do this <br />with the revenue numbers down, there will be an increased number of <br />businesses vacant in the City of Mounds View. Mr. Wolens encouraged <br />the Council. to stop spending money as the businesses cannot afford it. <br />Mayor Linke stated that there is a problem in the City with surface <br />water and that every time it rains there is standing water. Linke <br />asked Mr. Wolens what the City should do, let it stand or let the <br />system back up and don't make any plans to fix it or put any money away <br />for repair of the system. <br />Wolens stated that the major area of concern should be the Highway 10 <br />corridor. Wolens asked if when the County or State turns over part of <br />the highway to .the City, it will be fixed, correct? <br />Mayor Linke explained that when the highway is turned over it will be <br />turned over as is. <br />Wolens stated that the businessmen are paying the majority of .the fees. <br />The Federal government will get 15°s of the business lunches and this <br />will severely affect the restaurants in the area. This type of cause <br />and effect hurts the businesses. Mr. Wolens stated that part of the <br />utility franchise fee is increased overtime for the code enforcement <br />officers. <br />Wolens commented that the business owners in Mounds View will pay the <br />majority of this fee because Mounds View requires them to put in <br />much larger parking lots than does the cities of Blaine or Spring Lake <br />Park. <br />Mayor Linke stated that he deals with those numbers every day. Linke <br />asked Mr. Wolens to propose a way to pay for the repairs of the storm <br />water system. <br />Wolens asked how many problems the City have with surf ace .water runoff. <br />Mayor Linke reported that there were three homes in the Ardan area <br />flooded out during the last heavy rainfall and that there are problems <br />in the entire Ardan area. <br />,7 <br />
