September 13, 1976 Page 13 <br />Admin. Achen stated that the City Attorney is checking to see if it <br />is necessary for the Council to canvass the votes after the election. It <br />has been the general practice for the Council to meet and canvass the <br />votes, but Admin. Achen did not see anything in the State Statutes that <br />requires this. Admin. Achen stated that there is a meeting on Thursday <br />anyway at 7:00 p.m. Councilmember Rowley stated that she will be about <br />30 minutes late. Admin. Achen stated that they would be counting the <br />ballots in the Council Chambers and suggested that as many Council members <br />as can should attend. <br />MSP (Pickar- Baumgartner) that the Council have a special meeting on Thursday <br />night, September 16, to canvass the ballots if required by law. 4 ayes <br />ATTORNEY'S REPORT. Atty. Meyers stated that he received a petition to <br />extend Knollwood Drive south of Ardan Avenue. The petition has a number <br />of signatures, but he does not know if they qualify as 35% of the owners <br />for a public improvement hearing. <br />Eng. Hubbard stated that only three of those people would be assessed <br />by the extension of Knollwood so they need four more names on the petition. <br />If the Council is interested in doing this on their own, maybe they should <br />get a feasibility study. <br />Atty. Meyers stated that since the petition does not have 35% on it, the <br />Council does not have to set a public hearing. Councilmember Baumgartner <br />asked if the Council could return the petition to Mr. Payne and ask him <br />to get 35% of the people to sign the petition. Atty. Meyers stated that <br />this could be done. <br />MAYOR PICKAR'S REPORT. Mayor Pickar stated he received a letter from the <br />League of Women Voters of Mounds View and reviewed it for the Council. <br />Mayor Pickar stated the League should be commended for the many hours <br />they put in and for the fine work they did with the registration program. <br />Councilmember Hodges suggested that the Mayor send them a thank you note. <br />Admin. Achen stated he had sent a letter about two weeks ago. <br />Mayor Pickar and Councilmember Rowley reviewed the Lakeside Park meeting. <br />The budget was mentioned but Spring Lake Park had not done anything with <br />it yet. More damage had been done to the building but the girls who <br />wrote their names on it will repaint the building this fall under the <br />supervision of their parents. Mayor Pickar questioned if there would be a <br />water bill. Admin. Achen stated that it is such a small amount of water <br />there is no reason to bring it up. The water is not used for flooding <br />or sprinkling. Mayor Pickar stated that the only major item discussed <br />was the winter skating program. It was suggested that the free skating <br />rink be made larger, they get hockey boards, have music for skating and <br />do advertising. <br />COUNCILMEMBER BAUMGARTNER had no report. <br />COUNCILMEMBER ROWLEY had no report. <br />ENGINEER HUBBARD had no report. <br />
