Mounds View City Council Page Thirteen <br /> Regular Meeting August 9 , 1993 <br /> Mayor Linke stated that in other areas maintenance such as street <br /> sweeping and ditch cleaning will have to be completed and there isn't <br /> enough money. <br /> Julie Trude asked if the water fund has excess capita and it can be <br /> transferred for the expansion of City Hall, why can't it be transferred <br /> for these types of things? <br /> Mayor Linke asked Ms. Trude to stop in to City Hall and find out what <br /> the funds can be used for and how the funds are being used. <br /> Julie Trude stated that she would feel better if she could see a list <br /> of projects with price tags. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that there should be a Storm Water Management Plan <br /> at the counter. <br /> Ms. Trude indicated that when she was at the hearing she did not see <br /> one in City Hall. <br /> Rocky Keene, Short-Elliott-Hendrickson went over a list of some of the <br /> projects and their costs for the Storm Water Management Plan. <br /> • Peg Mountin, stated that in the Ardan area the builder was given <br /> elevations on which to build the homes and the road was built later at <br /> higher elevations. Ms. Mountin stated that the businesses should not be <br /> responsible for areas where they have no input of surface water runoff. <br /> The businesses are not contributors to the problem. <br /> Mr. Keene stated that each and every part of the City has some <br /> improvements listed in the Plan. The projects listed in the Plan have <br /> come about as a result of previous feasibility studies and were <br /> identified prior to the Plan.. <br /> • <br /> Peg Mountin suggested that perhaps the utility be based on Surface <br /> Water Management Districts and those persons in the problem areas would <br /> be responsible for the financing for those projects in those districts. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that the water comes in from Ardan and if it could <br /> flow straight through there would be no problem, however, the people <br /> north and south of Ardan and in the middle fill up the pipes. Who does <br /> the City assess then? The problem is a system-wide problem. <br /> Mayor Linke referred to Chapter 8 of the Home Rule Charter and stated <br /> if the City did go through the assessment process in the Ardan area <br /> someone from the southern part of the City could bring in a petition <br /> against the process and. could stop the process. <br />
