Mounds View City Council December 11, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br /> <br />Council indicated that they intend to go out and look at it and consider it carefully. 1 <br /> 2 <br />Ms. Schovanec said that she would like to know the actual responses from residents from the 3 <br />survey. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Director Lee explained that the responses from the survey done in April are included in the 6 <br />report. He then reviewed the information from the survey. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Ms. Schovanec asked what she should have said in her response to ensure that the project is shut 9 <br />down. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Council Member Gunn asked whether residents want the street fixed. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Ms. Schovanec indicated that she wants the road fixed but does not want to pay for curb and 14 <br />gutter. She then asked what the petition needs to state. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Director Lee indicated that Staff can provide the proper wording for that for residents. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Ms. Werner asked whether the City is involved in any projects which could be called amenities 19 <br />or projects that could be postponed and the money used for those be applied to this project to 20 <br />lower the assessments for the property owners. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Mayor Marty there are some park buildings but that comes out of the park funds. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Finance Director Beer said that would set a poor precedent for future residents who would not 25 <br />have funds toward their project. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Ms. Werner asked about spending less money on trails or something and put that money into 28 <br />street reconstructions. She then said that there are a lot of older people on fixed incomes. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Ms. Werner asked if this project will be paid for completely or whether there will be bonds sold 31 <br />for this project. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Council indicated there will not be bonding for the project. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Ms. Werner said that she thinks that the City should tighten its belt and not do some of these 36 <br />things that are being done like the Family Center and the Golf Course and she wants Council to 37 <br />use its resources wisely. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Thomas Winiecki of 2748 Sherwood Road said that the longer the project waits the more it costs. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Jim Kavanaugh of 7956 Red Oak Drive said that he is in favor of the project because the streets 42 <br />are bad and it is time to do the project and no one wants to pay for it but it needs to be done. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Mayor Marty closed the public hearing. 45
