Mounds View City Council June 13, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 9 Mayor Marty asked when the public hearing would take place. 1 2 Public Works Director Lee stated that the public hearing would be scheduled for the second 3 Council meeting on July 25, 2005. 4 5 Mayor Marty suggested submitting a note in the Mounds View Matters that would notify the 6 residents of the project. 7 8 Council Member Stigney stated that they are expecting to take 35-percent from the special 9 project fund and also looking at possibly a Medtronic proposal that would bring in approximately 10 $865,000 to the City and if they have that big project come in or other special projects he would 11 like to see that money added back to the special projects fund. He stated that they need that 12 money for future projects and if they have access to money to replace he would like to see that 13 happen. 14 15 Mayor Marty asked how they would word it if the park dedication fund comes into a windfall, 16 that this could be setup as a potential loan. 17 18 Council Member Thomas suggested stating that in Item 4 that at least 65-percent of the total 19 project cost on the park dedication and up to 35-percent for the special projects noting that it 20 would provide more flexibility. She stated that the whole point is if they have a windfall in the 21 park dedication it is never a pay back situation it comes directly out of that fund. She stated that 22 if they change the wording it makes the percentages more flexible and if the money is not there it 23 stills allows the ability to do this. 24 25 Council Member Stigney expressed concerns that it does not address paying back the special 26 projects fund. 27 28 Mayor Marty stated that he likes Council Member Stigney’s suggestion to make it a 29 reimbursement process. 30 31 Public Works Director Lee suggested removing Items 2 and 4 from the proposed resolution for 32 further review at the public hearing. 33 34 Council Member Gunn asked why they are ordering the public hearing when they are approving 35 the bidding. 36 37 Council Member Thomas explained that the public hearing is for the public input. 38 39 Community Development Director Ericson clarified that the approval of the resolution ordering 40 the project does not mean they are authorizing or awarding the project. He stated that this would 41 provide staff with the time they need to work through the verbiage in time for the public hearing. 42 43
