Mounds View City Council March 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 4 Council Member Stigney asked for the auction information received last year on the used 1 vehicles that were sold. Chief Sommer indicated that the vehicles are brought to the auction in 2 Arden Hills and they usually bring a very good price. He then said he could provide the auction 3 information to Council. 4 Council Member Stigney asked how many vehicles are in the fleet. Chief Sommer indicated that 5 there are 11 total vehicles and 9 are squads. 6 Council Member Stigney indicated that the City used to replace one vehicle one year, and two the 7 next and he is wondering why the process has been changed. 8 Chief Sommer indicated that the type of use that these vehicles go through justifies replacing 9 them every five years. 10 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7238 11 Approving the Purchase of MVPD Squad Cars. 12 Council Member Stigney asked for the information on the vehicles when they are sent to auction. 13 Mayor Marty commented that it would cost less to get the cars two-toned rather than repainting 14 them later. 15 Chief Sommer indicated that the officers were in favor of the two-toned vehicles. 16 Mayor Marty asked if Council was interested in going with two-tone cars. 17 Council decided not to do so at this time. 18 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 19 C. Resolution 7237 Authorizing Execution of a Zero Dollar Permit for the 20 Trunk Highway 10 Noise Wall Project 21 Public Works Director Lee provided information on the noise wall project for Council. He then 22 noted that Mn/DOT is looking at awarding the contract on May 16, 2008 with construction 23 beginning in June. 24 Council Member Mueller asked if there should be any concern that Mn/DOT would take the land 25 and use it for an additional lane. Director Lee indicated that it does not seem that would be 26 feasible. He then said that there are already three lanes in this location and it is further to the east 27 where they plan to add an additional lane. 28 Council member Mueller asked whether Attorney Riggs reviewed the permit documentation. 29 Interim Clerk Administrator Ericson noted that Attorney Riggs has reviewed this. 30 Mayor Marty indicated that it may take time to transfer land in Arden Park, but, it is of little use 31 to Mn/DOT because it is on the wrong side of the wall that they have already constructed. He 32 then asked that Staff request that a transfer of the Arden Park property be done. 33
