UNAPPRUVED • <br /> Page 4 <br /> July 28, 1997 <br /> Mounds View City Council <br /> 1 Bill Fritz,8072 Long Lake Road,stated his concern as to the safety at the 118/35W access point. The cut <br /> 2 which was made from the Highway 610 to the Old County Road J has dumped traffic onto Long Lake Road. <br /> 3 Promises were made by MNDOT that this would be taken out if it created problems. Mr.Fritz stated with the <br /> 4 theater development,additional traffic will be generated on Long Lake Road. He would like to see something <br /> 5 done about this. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Jerry Linke,2319 Knollwood Drive,explained that there is a caveat in the approval process whereby if certain <br /> 8 conditions were met,it could constitute removal of the intersection. He encouraged the Council to check with <br /> 9 the Police Departments for Mounds View,Blaine,and the Highway Department to obtain the number of <br /> 10 accidents that have occurred at the site. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Mr.Linke noted the memo of July 25, 1997 to the City Council in regard to proposed re-alignment of <br /> 13 Edgewood as part of the redevelopment project proposed for the south side of Highway 10. He noted that this <br /> 14 would eliminate the soccer field and wondered if the Park&Recreation Department was aware of this <br /> 15 proposal. He stated the city is already short on soccer field space and this would only add to the problem. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Mayor McCarty explained that this is at a very preliminary stage and that he does not believe the city would <br /> 18 intend to eliminate a field without replacing it. He noted that there is still much research to be done to <br /> 19 determine the feasibility and the city intends to fully involve the public in the process. Again,he noted that theIIIP <br /> 20 proposal is in a very preliminary stage. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Mr.Whiting stated that there would never be any decisions made that were not in the best interest of the <br /> 23 community. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 David Jahnke,8428 Eastwood Road,asked for an agenda clarification on the presentation by MSP Real Estate <br /> 26 for the development proposal for the Silver Lake Commons area. Mayor McCarty explained that the Council <br /> 27 would be recessing their meeting at approximately 8:00 p.m.to move to the EDA Meeting for the Public <br /> 28 Hearing in regard to this item. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 PUBLIC HEARINGS: <br /> 31 <br /> 32 There were no Public Hearings scheduled for this meeting. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 COUNCIL BUSINESS: <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Mayor McCarty noted that he would like to have the Council consider Item 11 (C)at this time. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 C. Receive the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,1996. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Jeff Wilson,of Tautges,Redpath presented the Annual Financial Report for the City of Mounds View noting <br /> 41 that this is the first year that the Finance Department has taken 100%responsibility for the report and <br /> 42 acknowledging the excellent job they did in completing it. He proceeded to go through the management letter <br /> 43 with the council. He noted that their recommendations would be to stay on top of the MSA funds and continue <br /> 44 to look at the water and sewer rates,incorporating small increases each year rather than a large increase every <br /> 45 four years. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Mayor McCarty recessed the City Council meeting at 8:15 p.m. <br /> 48 <br />
