Police Chief Harder described the numerous ways the proposed community resource <br />vehicle could be used within Mounds View for outreach and on crime scenes. <br />Mayor Mueller questioned how the vehicle would be supported long-term. Police Chief Harder <br />stated he would be open to seeking additional funding from the Police Foundation. He explained <br />he was not looking to further burden the Mounds View tax payers. <br />Mayor Mueller asked why the vehicle was being turned in. Police Chief Harder stated the <br />vehicle had reached its useful life cycle in its current community. <br />Mayor Mueller applauded Police Chief Harder on his efforts and for keeping the safety of <br />Mounds View as his top priority. <br />Interim Public Works Director Peterson provided the Council with an update on the projects <br />occurring in the community and reported Area I was substantially completed. He noted the Met <br />Council restoration project was almost done. Work continues on the Public Works Facility and <br />he was pleased to report the project was currently on schedule. He commented on a potential <br />grant that could assist the Council with covering the expense of the City Hall playground and <br />requested direction on how to proceed. <br />Council Member Gunn asked if Park and Rec had equipment picked out for this playground. <br />Interim Public Works Director Peterson stated this group did have equipment selected. <br />Council Member Gunn supported this project moving forward, even if the equipment had to be <br />stored until it could be installed. The Council consensus was to move forward with the grant <br />application and purchase of the playground equipment for City Hall. <br />Interim Public Works Director Peterson reported staff met with Met Council regarding discharge <br />limits at Water Treatment Plants 2 and 3. He indicated the City had exceeded the discharge <br />limits for copper, mercury and lead. He stated at this time, City staff does not understand why <br />the limits are not being met. He explained staff would be bringing a proposal forward on August <br />28th in order to have AE2S assist in finding a solution to this concern. <br />Mayor Mueller questioned how much the contract would cost the City. Interim Public Works <br />Director Peterson reported the contract was estimated to cost $13,000. He stated he was <br />uncertain how much it would cost the City to correct the problem. <br />
