Retention Meetings: • I met with J&W Industries this week. They are a distributor of industrial products of which Honeywell products are their largest client. They are located on Mustang Drive and have been in Mounds View since 1980. They were glad to see a representative from Mounds View visit their facility but did have complaints with regards to their water bill. He felt that commercial and industrial companies, who use the majority of their water for landscaping, should be charged at a lower rate for that portion. He was also very concerned about Old Highway 8 and felt that realigning Old Highway 8 should be a priority for the City before there is a major accident. Maybe we could get a collection of letters from the businesses in the Mounds View Industrial Park off Old Highway 8 to write letters to MnDot or State Representatives on the urgency of improving and realigning Old Highway 8. I would appreciate any thoughts on this by Council or Staff. Cathy PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS: * The engine and clutch and compressor and other stuff is being put in the water truck. It is quite an undertaking that is saving the City money with in-house installation. Hats off to all the Parks and Public Works crews that have spent so much time and expertise on rejuvenating the water truck. It's like a brand new truck. * While Jeff & Steve and others have been working on the truck, Larry and Wally have volunteered to do hose flooding of the rinks. What a great bunch of guys!!! * The furnace guys are holding up our work at the park buildings - its like pulling teeth to get them to finish these two small projects. That's the problem - the jobs are so small that they are doing them when time is available during other larger projects. We gave them the "big" talk and hopefully they will get in there and finish the furnaces. Then the carpenter can finish his work. (The furnaces go under the flooring so they need to be installed when the floor is up - but that joist work has long been done). They all know that we need to be up and running Friday, December 23 - when rinks open!!!
