<br />Item #: 2 <br />Meeting Date: May 3, 2010 <br />Type of Business: WS <br />Administrator Review : ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Heidi Steinmetz, Economic Development Specialist <br />Item Title/Subject: Discuss Adding a Name to County Road 10 <br /> <br />Background <br />Adding a name to County Road 10 is an action step that the Mounds View Economic <br />Development Commission (EDC) included in their 2009 and 2010 priorities. On April 16, <br />2010, the EDC made the following recommendations to the City Council: <br /> <br />Commissioner Belting moved and Commissioner Helgemoe seconded a recommendation that the <br />Council fund signage updates in the 2011 budget (and explore using Tax Increment Financing as a <br />funding option) to accommodate a new name for County Road 10 as it passes through Mounds View. <br />Motion Carried: 6 Ayes 0 Nays <br /> <br />Commissioner Helgemoe moved and Vice Chair Wagner-Harkonen seconded a recommendation that <br />the City consider “Mounds View Boulevard” as the additional name for County Road 10. <br />Motion Carried: 6 Ayes 0 Nays <br /> <br />In April 2009, the City Council adopted a brand strategy that included an objective to <br />capitalize on the naming opportunity for County Road 10. The City Council tried to <br />accomplish this naming idea in 2004/2005. That effort, however, had no outcome because <br />Mounds View, Spring Lake Park and Blaine could not agree on a name. Summarized <br />below are those 2004/2005 efforts: <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting Date Meeting Type Topic <br />June 7, 2004 Mounds View City Council Work <br />Session <br />Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance to <br />assign a name to County Rd 10 <br />June 14, 2004 Regular Mounds View City <br />Council Meeting <br />Item 10A - Public Hearing & 1st Reading of Ord. <br />738, an Ordinance Assigning a Name to that Part <br />of County Road 10 passing through Mounds View <br /> <br />The Council tabled this action in order to discuss <br />issue with the Blaine & Spring Lake Park City <br />Councils. <br />July 6, 2004 Mounds View City Council Work <br />Session <br />Item 7 - Update on Cost of Signage to Rename <br />County Road 10 (MnDOT’s costs plus $15-20K for <br />local signs) <br />July 22, 2004 <br /> <br />Joint meeting among Blaine, <br />Mounds View & Spring Lake Park <br />City Councils <br />Councils met at SLP City Hall & brainstormed <br />possible names <br />Mar. 15, 2005 Meeting with reps. from Blaine, <br />Coon Rapids, Mounds View, <br />Spring Lake Park, Anoka County, <br />Ramsey County and two local <br />Chambers <br />Discussed pre-1999 corridor history, 1999 and <br />beyond (confusion with Old 10 and New 10), voted <br />on potential names & discussed next steps
