15 <br />NPDES PHASE II <br />The City has submitted its NPDES Phase II permit, which included the Municipal Separate Storm <br />Sewer permit and the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). As part of the <br />SWPPP, the City has formalized and started to implement forty-eight (48) storm water pollution <br />prevention programs. <br /> <br />As part of the requirements of the NPDES Phase II permit, the City must conduct an annual <br />public informational meeting. This will be scheduled for January of 2005 at a regular City Council <br />meeting. The informational meeting is intended to provide the public with an update on what <br />goals were met that calendar year and to allow an opportunity for the public to comment and <br />provide input on the storm water program. <br /> <br /> <br />TRAFFIC COUNTS <br />Every other year the City of Mounds View is required by the Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation to conduct Traffic Counts at specified locations. In 2003 the City conducted traffic <br />counts at a total of forty-eight (48) locations throughout the City. Thirty-six (36) locations were <br />required by Mn/DOT. Twelve other locations were selected to obtain traffic data related to specific <br />City projects or issues. Public Works will be conducting traffic counts in 2005 at the same number <br />of locations as in 2003. <br /> <br />PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION UPDATE <br />The Parks and Recreation Commission has completed updating and revising the PARKS NEEDS <br />ANALYSIS.

As part of this program, the DNR has dedicated a grant to the Lakeside <br />Lions Park for constructing a floating fishing pier. The pier would be 104 feet in length and have a <br />“T” section on the end. The estimated cost is $22,000. The DNR Grant is for $12,200. The <br />remaining $10,000 was raised from several sources, some of which may include: Spring Lake <br />Park Lions, Fridley Lions, and donations. <br /> <br />This will be installed in the spring of 2005. The DNR will also be stocking the lake this spring with <br />large mouth bass and black crappies. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
