Mounds View City Council May 22, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br /> <br />wetland. Mayor Marty read the requirements for that inspection and stated he is encouraged to 1 <br />see it will be monitored so closely. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Councilmember Thomas stated that sometimes she agrees with Councilmember Stigney on TIF 4 <br />use and sometimes she does not. She stated this project is needed because of the company’s 5 <br />growth and these are small alterations to a very good neighbor of Mounds View that allows the 6 <br />entire company to stay and expand in Mounds View. She stated she enjoys having SYSCO in 7 <br />Mounds View and believes they have been a good partner. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Mayor Marty stated his agreement, noting SYSCO has paid off their entire TIF note and the City 10 <br />considering assisting them with $300,000, which is significant to SYSCO. He noted that last 11 <br />year, the City assisted a multi-billion dollar company with $22.9 million in TIF. He stated 12 <br />SYSCO is a good neighbor and business that is growing in Mounds View and helping them out 13 <br />in this respect is totally justifiable. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Councilmember Stigney stated the willows and cottonwood trees are good for wetlands and the 16 <br />site is being altered to put in a driveway. Another concern is that SYSCO may have to further 17 <br />impact the wetland and mitigate off site. Councilmember Stigney stated he believes SYSCO can 18 <br />afford to pay the $300,000 for this project and if not, maybe they should not be in business. He 19 <br />noted that SYSCO is receiving money from two billboards and stated he cannot justify TIF for 20 <br />this project. 21 <br /> 22 <br /> Ayes – 3 Nays – 1 (Stigney) Motion carried. 23 <br /> 24 <br />(2) Public Hearing, Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 761, an 25 <br />Ordinance Rezoning Three Acres of Land Associated with the 26 <br />SYSCO Project (ROLL CALL VOTE) 27 <br /> 28 <br />MOTION/SECOND: THOMAS/MARTY.
