Mounds View City Council July 14, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 13 1 Council Member Quick indicated that concrete is less expensive in the long run and the TIF 2 districts are running out in the near future and he does not plan on voting to extend them. 3 4 Council Member Stigney indicated that concrete is the most expensive for initial cost. 5 6 Ayes – 1(Stigney) Nays – 4 Motion failed. 7 8 MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Marty. To Amend the Motion on the Floor to a Five Foot Wide 9 Sidewalk of Concrete. 10 11 Council Member Gunn indicated that it is possible to contract with New Brighton for the 12 maintenance of the five-foot wide path rather than purchasing new equipment right away. She 13 then said that she feels that the concrete will last longer and save money over time. 14 15 Public Works Director Lee indicated that the City currently has 12.5 miles of paths to maintain 16 and it is estimated that the City will have another 12.5 in the future so the City will eventually 17 need a piece of equipment to maintain trails other than the bobcat. 18 19 Council Member Stigney told residents that it is apparent that they are getting a sidewalk and 20 said he would support this motion for the five foot one because it is less of an impact to the 21 residents. He then said he would like the City to look at contracting with New Brighton to 22 maintain the trail rather than purchasing equipment. 23 24 Mayor Linke indicated that there is a TIF savings to construct five foot versus the six and a half 25 foot but that savings cannot be used for the purchase of equipment so the City would have the 26 full $70,000 expense for that equipment. 27 28 Ayes – 2 Nays – 3(Linke/Marty/Quick) Motion failed. 29 30 Ayes – 3 Nays – 2(Marty/Stigney) Motion carried. 31 32 D.
