Mounds View City Council May 10, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6244, a 1 <br />Resolution Establishing Financing for the Mounds View Manufacturing Home Park Second 2 <br />Access Project with Option 1A to Account for the Cities Costs. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Rex Almond of 1046 Monte Claire indicated that he had spoken to the owner and the owner is 5 <br />counting on an amount of $6,000. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Council Member Stigney amended his motion to not exceed $2,000 in City costs. 8 <br /> 9 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn. To Amend the Motion to Proportionately Divide the City’s 10 <br />Costs Not to Exceed $2,000. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Mayor Linke indicated that the motion on the floor is basically the same as Option B adding 13 <br />$2,000 to the amount the Mobile Home Park would pay. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he did his motion the way he did to keep things proportionate 16 <br />which is fair. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Doris Heilman of 3034 Ardmore Avenue reminded Council that when this whole issue came up 19 <br />it was before the Ordinance changed on giving park owners the option of whether they wanted to 20 <br />open this. When this started they were required to do so by ordinance because the City street is 21 <br />not in compliance. She then said that, as she understands it, the grant money was applied for on 22 <br />a proportional basis and it was a joint grant application. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Ms. Heilman asked how much City Staff time was spent planning the development previously 25 <br />discussed and how much of that money will be recovered. She then said that their costs were to 26 <br />be 37% of the cost of the project. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Mayor Li nke indicated he would like to recover the City’s costs from the point when the City and 29 <br />the Park decided to do move forward. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Ms. Heilman noted that would be from January 2004. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Ms. Heilman indicated that opening the back gate benefits other residents in the area and the 34 <br />street is a race track regardless of whether the gate opens or not. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Mayor Linke indicated the complaint was that the people from the mobile home park are using it 37 <br />and they are opposed to that. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Ms. Heilman indicated that not all violators are within the park others use it as well. She then 40 <br />said that the park owner alone pays more taxes than all the people who signed the petition a year 41 <br />ago, not to mention what the individual homeowner’s pay. 42 <br /> 43 <br /> Ayes – 3 Nays – 2(Linke/Quick) Motion carried. 44 <br /> 45
