Regarding the <br /> 10 membership problems of the EQC, she commented that <br /> 11 participation of members is not something that can be <br /> 12 predicted. There are many different areas involved in the <br /> 13 environment and the Environmental Quality Commission, and the <br /> 14 members have been unable to focus on single issues. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Wuori noted that the EQC members have had their own personal <br /> 17 interests regarding the environment which included the areas <br /> 18 of garbage, recycling, trailways, and wildlife. The members <br /> 19 have not worked together, perhaps due to a lack of leadership <br /> 20 from Council or due to fragmentation of the group itself. <br /> 21 There were always new ideas and new reports but the issues <br /> 22 were not being followed through to completion. There didn't <br /> 23 seem to be the cohesiveness amongst themselves that is found <br /> 24 in the other Commissions. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Wuori said the duties of the EQC could be taken over by the <br /> 27 other Commissions quite easily and the members could bring <br /> 28 their areas of interest to those Commissions. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 MOTION/SECOND: Linke/Wuori to Adopt Ordinance No. 550 <br /> 31 Amending the Municipal Code of Mounds View by Repealing <br /> 32 Chapter 407, Entitled "Environmental Quality Commission" <br /> 33 <br /> 34 ROLL CALL VOTE: <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Mayor Linke - yes <br /> 37 Councilmember Quick - yes <br /> 38 Councilmember Wuori - yes <br /> 39 Councilmember Trude - no <br /> 40 Councilmember Blanchard - yes <br /> 41 <br /> 42 VOTE: 4 ayes 1 nay (Trude) Motion Carried <br /> 43 <br /> 44 C. Consideration of Resolution No. 4667 Approving Transfer of <br /> 45 Funds from Franchise Fee Account for Purchase of Computer <br /> 46 Equipment for Police Department <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Mayor Linke explained that he had met with the Staff Officers <br /> 49 of the Police Department and was informed they only had two <br /> 50 computers, one of which is very old.
