UNA <br /> Mounds View City Council Page 20 <br /> Regular Meeting June 26, 1995 <br /> 1 Councilmember Trude reported on the Arsenal meeting she <br /> 2 attended where discussion took place regarding the reuse <br /> 3 of approximately 50% of Arsenal property for public and <br /> 4 park purposes. She advised it was determined an American <br /> 5 Indian did not have claim to any of the Arsenal land. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Councilmember Trude reported Congressman Vento has <br /> 8 assured that no gambling operation will be considered for <br /> 9 the Arsenal property, unless a Federal agency were to <br /> 10 authorize that type of use. Also, Alliant Tech was just <br /> 11 awarded $-95 milllon—munitians—contTact which requires <br /> 12 very large safety areas where nothing can be developed. <br /> 13 This includes the area Arden Hills plans to develop into <br /> 14 housing, retail commercial, and manufacturing (adjacent <br /> 15 to Highways 10 and 96) . <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Duane McCarty asked if the Alliant Tech contract will <br /> 18 result in an economic boost for Mounds View. <br /> 19 Councilmember Quick stated it will probably not but it <br /> 20 will keep the current crews working. He advised the <br /> 21 munitions are not loaded at this facility. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Mayor Linke speculated it will take a long time before <br /> 24 this property can be reused, especially since the <br /> 25 contamination must first be addressed and there have been <br /> 26 cutbacks in the Superfund. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Councilmember Trude agreed. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Report of Mayor Linke: <br /> 31 <br /> 32 a.
