Mounds View City Council March 14, 2005 <br />Regular Meeting Page 10 <br /> <br />year. He stated that they could perhaps do three miles of replacement next year, and, in fact, it’s 1 <br />more efficient to have a larger project. He stated that the red and green areas could be the 2006 2 <br />project. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Mayor Marty stated that if the petition comes in, then this project would be dead, but they should 5 <br />start working on the 2006 project. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Council Member Thomas questioned whether the red section should be put into the 2006 project 8 <br />because there is undeveloped land. She stated she thought they should tackle the places that were 9 <br />already fully developed first. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Mayor Marty stated that at the EDA meeting it had been brought up that there were some 12 <br />developers interested in developing that land there, and why would they want to put in new 13 <br />streets and then have heavy equipment running over it. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Public Works Director Lee stated that they would not allow any hauling on the road for 16 <br />development in the area. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Council Member Thomas stated that if they approve the feasibility report, it doesn’t mean they 19 <br />are approving the project; it only means they can use the report in three years. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Public Works Director Lee stated that approving the report does not make the project official. 22 <br /> 23 <br />MOTION/SECOND.

Resolution 6436 Approving the 2005 Public Works Seasonal Employee 32 <br />Positions 33 <br /> 34 <br />Public Works Director Lee stated that they had been under budgeting for seasonals for the last 35 <br />several years by about $15,000, so they need to do one of two things. Either they need to cut the 36 <br />services and not hire as many seasonals, or they need to adjust the budget to keep the same level 37 <br />of service. He felt that they get a lot of value out of their seasonals and their numbers in the 38 <br />Public Works Department is fairly low in comparison to other cities on a per capita basis. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Council Member Thomas asked for an explanation of why this wasn’t in the budget and hadn’t 41 <br />been caught the years before. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Public Works Director Lee stated he would take responsibility for that, and he hadn’t checked the 44 <br />personnel part of it. 45
