-2- <br />June 23, 1975 <br />Highway 10 with the name of City of Mounds View with a space for upcoming <br />events or activities to be listed. <br />Mayor Johnson asked how large a fund they are requesting. <br />Mr. Ziebarth said $25 to $50 to be used for communciations expressly postage. <br />Attorney Meyers suggested a Resolution be drawn for this purpose. Mayor <br />Johnson directed Attorney Meyers to prepare the Resolution. <br />Mr. Mike Gupto, 20408 Xavis Street N. W., Anoka, requested a permit to sell <br />beer and concession at a softball tournament they are holding July 19 and <br />20 at the city hall field. <br />Mayor Johnson explained that in the past, organizations such as Jaycees and Lions <br />have applied for similar permits and were granted permits usually without fees <br />because they are community organizations and profits go back into the community. <br />He asked what organization they were with. <br />Mr. Gupto said they were sponsored by White Tail Inn and they belonged to <br />a Mounds View softball league. <br />Councilman Baumgartner asked what the proceeds would be used for. Mr. Gupto <br />indicated that it would be used for team expenses. <br />Council refused the request for permit to sell beer and concessions. <br />Warren Johnson, 7710 Greenwood Drive, asked Council to close the Mounds View <br />Square shopping center until a solution for the water problem could be <br />derived and he reported rain gauge readings obtained from the weather bureau <br />comparing them with the capacity of the holding pond system to hold 50 year <br />floods. <br />Mayor Johnson asked Administrator Achen if Rice Creek Watershed indicated that <br />the shopping center has not been designed as intended. Administrator Achen <br />said they had not been asked that question directly. They have not indicated <br />that the developer has not done what they desired. Mayor Johnson inquired <br />if the file indicated that the project is not designed to take a 50 year <br />rain. <br />Mr. Bock, 7760 Greenwood Drive, hopes Council will help find an answer to <br />the water problem or residents would be forced to take legal action. <br />Nyle Rolfer, 7945 Long Lake Road, said he is experiencing two kinds of water <br />problems. In addition to water in his basement, he has very brown water <br />coming through his pipes. He has had this problem for 4 to 5 years. He <br />has called several times and City replied that it is due to chlorine. <br />Mayor Johnson replied about three years ago State inspectors came out and <br />said the chlorine content of the water was not high enough. More chlorine <br />was added and a few weeks after we received a rash of calls. Several engineers <br />were consulted enabling the City to lower it somewhat and regular flushing pro- <br />grams were started. Complaints have been minimal since that time. <br />Mr. Casey, 7750 Greenwood, did not feet it would be advisable to flush <br />the hydrants with the water situation the way it is. <br />
