Mounds View City Council October 11, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 5 City Attorney Riggs had no report. Council Member Thomason stated she had also attended the I-35W Corridor Coalition meeting, and extended her thanks to all the commissioners from the various commissions who had attended. She remarked there was a massive turnout at this meeting, with more representation of the City of Mounds View than any other city present. Council Member Thomason stated she had attended North Heights Lutheran Church for Pastor Carl Vaagenes' passing of the baton, after 38 years of service. She commented she could not pass up this opportunity, as Pastor Vaagenes has been her pastor for the past 20 years. She extended her appreciation to Mayor Coughlin for his attendance, and added that many members of different communities had attended this event, including Mayors and State representatives. She noted that 38 years ago, Pastor Vaagenes began with a congregation of 500 people, which now extends to over 6,800 people, and as he is a shy, introverted Norwegian, this certainly speaks to the testament of God. She expressed her deep appreciation to Pastor Vaagenes for his many years of faithful service. No further reports were considered. 7. CONSENT AGENDA A. Approve Just and Correct Claims. B.
