Mounds View City Council <br />,Regular Meeting <br />Page Nine. <br />August 9, 1993 <br />Wolens suggested bulldozing down the three homes, buying the property <br />owners out and relocate them. <br />Mayor Linke asked if all homes in the Ardan drainage district should be <br />bulldozed because there are water problems. <br />Mr. Wolens stated whichever is the most economic way to save money for <br />this community.. <br />Mayor Linke stated that. the City is looking for a Long term way to <br />raise funds to solve the problems.. This would have to be done with <br />property taxes or user fees. <br />Wolens stated that if the City .continues to tax the businesses so heavy <br />businesses will become vacant, real estate taxes will go down, <br />property values will go down and the City will decay. <br />Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, asked how the storm water drainage <br />fund will be incorporated into this utility. <br />Mayor Linke responded that those funds will be placed into the utility <br />• fund. <br />Mr. McCarty asked if future charges for storm water drainage paid by <br />the developers at the time of permitting would be credited so that <br />two charges wouldn't be made to the developers. <br />Mayor Linke stated that the City is 98~ built out. Mayor Linke stated <br />that monies received from developers would not be enough to fund the <br />necessary projects for the future. <br />McCarty asked, if this ordinance would go into affect what happens to <br />the old formula. process under the old Storm Water Drainage charge. <br />Mayor Linke stated that the old formula charge would nvt be negated. <br />The ordinance allows our Council to set up an adjustment or credit for <br />those kinds of cases. Past Surface Water Management Utility charges <br />will be credited against the Surface Water Management charges. Mayor <br />Linke stated the Storm Water Management past and future process will <br />not change for those developments. <br />Mayor Linke stated that this problem has not come up and arrangements <br />could be made for a credit for a future developer. <br />Mayor Linke stated that the Storm Drainage money will go into the same <br />fund. The City needs to find a mechanism to find dollars because there <br />is not enough money in the existing fund to fund work that is going on <br />at this time. <br />
