Mounds View City Council February 23, 2015 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />City Administrator Ericson read Resolution 8383 aloud for the record. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty asked if there were grants available to meet the needs of smaller communities. <br />He questioned how the transportation bill would be funded. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause commented that if City staff had not devised the street <br />improvement project the City of Mounds View would also be struggling to replace its streets and <br />infrastructure. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller was uncertain how grants were awarded or how the grant program <br />worked. She did not want to see LGA reduced in order to fund additional transportation dollars. <br />She anticipated that a gasoline and motor vehicle tax would assist with funding the bill. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty supported the Resolution on the surface. He still had some concern with how the <br />bill would be funded. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Mueller.
