Airport Update <br /> It appears that the Metropolitan Airport Commission is once again pursuing the <br /> expansion of the Anoka Airport. Cathy attended a meeting last week regarding MAC's <br /> implementation of their Master Plan. <br /> Andover Landfill or, if one lawsuit is over, can another be <br /> far behind? <br /> Yep, it's another landfill lawsuit. I received notification from the law firm representing <br /> the PRP group naming the City of Mounds View as a contributor to the landfill. They <br /> maintain that they have trip tickets indicating that the City hauled to the site. They <br /> have--"graciously"-extended-a settlement-offer-of $12,000-to-cover-our-part_of the site <br /> clean-up. Prior to discussing this matter in more depth at the May 2nd Work Session, <br /> I will be requesting copies of their "proof" as well as contacting other cities in the area <br /> to determine if there will be a collective course of action similar to the Oak Grove <br /> settlement. <br /> CDBG Funding for Senior Housing Project <br /> It appears that the City will not be receiving the $155,000 in HUD money for purchase <br /> of the land for the senior housing project. Although the City applied for CDBG <br /> funding, the County arbitrarily shifted the application to the more restrictive Home <br /> Loan Program. The severe restrictions of that program made the project much more <br /> costly, requiring additional funding. It was the opinion of the developer that the <br /> project under the Home Loan program was "undoable" with current City and investor <br /> subsidies. The County has been informed of the City's "displeasure" at the process by <br /> which our application was diverted to another funding source and the lack of <br /> information provided by the County regarding the process by which applications will <br /> be reviewed. Mayor Linke has approached Commissioner Wedell about the inequities <br /> in the process, but it appears that we are not going to see any portion of the money <br /> we requested. <br /> Update on house across from Hardee's <br /> Just to update you I have not been successful in talking with the owner of the <br /> home regarding his willingness to sell his property. I continue to leave messages and <br /> expect that one of these days we will stop playing phone tag. <br /> Samantha <br /> PERSONNEL <br /> Golf Course Superintendent <br /> Mary Saarion and I have gone through all of the Golf Course Superintendent <br /> applications and have separated those that meet the minimum qualifications and <br />
