November 8, 197E Page 3 Councilman Hodges questioned how the municipality knows when a resident moves and his voter registration card should be pulled. Administrator Achen explained that this person, when he registers in his new community, would have to fill out the portion of the registration card that asks if he was registered in a community previously. It would then be up to Ramsey County to notify Mounds View of this. Administrator Achen stated that there are also 1700 new registrants that have to be typed up and sent to the County. The City is allowed to pull registration cards for people that have not voted for four years. This will also be done.

Achen stated that applications are being accepted by the Economic Development Agency beginning November 26, and the City is requesting grant funds totaling $414,000' to put up permanent shelter buildings in seven City parks. These buildings are being designed byWilliams /O'Brien Associates. The City received a letter from the architects confirming that the cost for their assistance in completing the forms will not exceed $500 with no fee for additional work until the City has a commitment they will receive the grant. Engineer Hubbard stated that the architect has asked for a complete agreement, which is a standard archetict agreement, except that it states that this agreement will be null and void if the City does not receive the grant. The architectural fees are 8.3% of the total cost, which Engineer Hubbard stated he feels is a reasonable figure. The project is for seven park sites which now have temporary buildings. The grant includes the construction of park buildings that are 600 square feet in all of the parks except Arden Park which will have an additional picnic shelter and Greenfield Park which will have a building that is 800 square feet. Engineer Hubbard then reviewed the sections of the report and stated that 73 people will be employed by this project. The City could request that as many residents in Mounds View as possible be hired. Construc- tion will start within 90 days from the receipt of notification that the grant is approved. Engineer Hubbard explained that the Attorney will have to certify that the City owns all of the property in the park. Attorney Meyers will also certify that the City was released of the discrimi- natory charges case. Engineer Hubbard then reviewed the plans for the building with the Council and stated that the plans will be more detailed if the grant is approved.
