To Approve Resolution No.5359, a Resolution Accepting <br /> Jurisdictional Transfer of County Road I from West County Line to Silver Lake Road From Ramsey <br /> County. <br /> Ayes—4 Nays—0 (Coughlin) Motion carried. <br /> H. Consideration of Resolution No. 5192,Revoking a Municipal State Aid Street. <br /> This item was discussed in conjunction with the previous item. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney To Approve Resolution No. 5192, a Resolution Revoking <br /> Municipal State Aid Street. <br /> Council Member Quick stated that when these streets were replaced, he would venture that 95 <br /> percent of the people living in Mounds View today would not be there. He stated attitudes, ideas, <br /> and concerns could be greatly altered. <br /> Council Member Stigney stated he agreed. He stated at this point in time, the residents on Spring <br /> Lake Road, and County Road I,preferred to have their road done without MSA standards,however <br /> 25 years from now, this might completely change. He added that this does not lock the City into <br /> anything in his understanding, rather, it allows for the choice. He stated he believed that choice <br /> should be given to the residents at that time. He stated in the meantime,it would accrue a large mass <br /> of money,which can be utilized for maintenance and construction of other roads. <br /> Mayor Coughlin stated for the record, he was opposed to the Municipal State Aid status of Spring <br /> Lake Road. <br /> I. Discussion Regarding the Information Request Policies of the City of Mounds <br /> View. <br /> Mayor Coughlin stated Council had been provided, as an addition to their packet, a staff report in <br /> regard to a set of situations, involving a particular resident and Commission Member requesting <br /> information from the City. He stated this matter had been discussed at a Council Retreat with Carl <br /> Neu. <br /> Mayor Coughlin stated the situation had arisen wherein an individual requested information in a very <br /> hasty manner, and did not like the way the request was handled. He stated,this individual contacted <br /> a Council Member who made the request for them, thereby circumventing a set policy of the City, <br /> which is,in his opinion,wrong. He stated that if a staff member did an"end run" around a policy, <br /> they would be "hung out to dry." He stated he had added this item to the agenda, as he desired to <br /> not only reiterate the present policy,which was essentially to set up some form of order to the City <br /> in regard to the handling of these matters, and who sets the priorities of the City. He stated one of <br /> the elements of his campaign was, in as much as a government entity can be run as a business,he <br /> desired it be run as a business. He stated a person with a title or a resident who demands information <br /> immediately, and goes around set policies for charging for the associated costs, runs the risk of <br /> anarchy at City Hall. <br /> 28 C:\ADMIN\MINUTES\CC\8-9-99.CC <br />
