June 14, 1976 Page 6 <br />Mr. Gum asked if the basement is subject for a lawsuit as of right <br />now. Atty Meyers answered that we had to spend extra money to <br />make it useable and costs of making the basement useable in the <br />future, as well as what might deter a willing buyer and a willing <br />seller. We have a useable basement only as long as everything <br />is working. <br />Mayor Johnson asked if the City of Mounds View should be concerned <br />about sprinkling its parks with an automatic sprinkler. Mr. Gum <br />stated that nothing is more miserable than to try to put other <br />utilities or improvements in when you have an automatic sprinkler <br />already installed. <br />Robert Bruflodt asked if water from the sump pump could not be <br />used to sprinkle. Mayor Johnson replied that it is too much <br />water for the basement but not enough for sprinkling. Councilman <br />Baumgartner stated that the sprinkling of the city hall park would <br />also include the two ball fields. The sprinkling heads would be <br />removeable. Mr. Ziebarth asked, regarding #4, does this have <br />higher priority than the sprinkling of city hall and is there a <br />need? Councilman Pickar replied that it has been in the development <br />stage for a long time. There is not a ball field or a skating <br />rink at Greenfield Park and they are so far behind the other <br />parks, this is the place to start a sprinklingsystem. <br />MS (Johnson- Hodges) that we submit the Planned Use Report for <br />the Revenue Sharing monies and that it be as follows: <br />1. Public Safety /Environmental Protection - abatement <br />officer /dog control program $6,500 <br />2.

Recreation - finish city hall basement & park dept. offices - <br />$6,800 <br />Councilman Shelquist asked what the Mayor's intent is for all of <br />the remaining items. Mayor Johnson replied that they would be <br />put together in a future improvement budget and completed as <br />future funds become available. <br />A roll call vote was requested. <br />Councilman Baumgartner - aye <br />Councilman Pickar - nay <br />Councilman Shelquist - aye <br />Councilman Hodges - aye <br />Mayor Johnson - aye <br />Motion carried <br />
