Mounds View City Council June 24, 2013 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty asked why the gates were being put in place. Public Works Director DeBar <br />stated the City has received complaints and the gates would keep cars from driving along the <br />pathway. City Attorney Riggs stated this was not a public right-of-way and cars traveling along <br />this access point did create a liability issue. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar indicated the City wanted to control the cars using this access <br />point. The two gates would keep cars from going through this area. He commented if residents <br />wanted to access this area the City could open the gate upon request. Further discussion ensued <br />regarding access to the path. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty requested staff investigate further the previously approved limited access that <br />was granted by the City and review this matter in detail with Mr. Kowalik. <br /> <br />6. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS <br /> A. Public Information Meeting for Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar reported a State mandate required the City to hold a public <br />informational meeting for the Stormwater Management Program on a yearly basis. He then <br />reviewed the 2012 stormwater activities in the City of Mounds View in detail with the Council. <br />He explained the requirements within the MS4 permit along with the minimum control measures. <br />He discussed the City’s efforts to educate the public, detect and eliminate illicit discharge, along <br />with reviewing construction site activities to control stormwater runoff. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar stated the Public Works Department would be working to <br />complete Part 2 of the Wellhead Protection Plan. A public meeting would be held upon <br />completion. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty requested further information on Silver View pond. Public Works Director <br />DeBar explained the pond was only 38% full of sediment at this time. He noted the cost to <br />dredge the pond was estimated to be $1-2 million. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller questioned how the City handled tree debris from the recent storm. <br />Public Works Director DeBar indicated tree debris would only be picked up on City property and <br />boulevards. He commented residents would have to take their debris to the Arden Hills compost <br />site. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller asked if this plan worked into the City’s green steps criteria. Public <br />Works Director DeBar anticipated that many of the steps the City had already met through its <br />current practices. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty thanked Public Works Director DeBar for his report this evening. <br /> <br />7. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />A. 7:00 p.m. Public Hearing, Resolution 8113, to Consider Special Assessments <br />for Unpaid Diseased Tree and Administrative Offense Charges.
