Mounds View City Council May 28, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 17 <br /> <br />Council Member Quick commented that he fails to see a problem with a 37% savings versus a <br />17% savings and noted he would have approved the reorganization with a 10% savings. He then <br />said he did not see a reason for all the dialogue other than the fact that it is that time of year <br />again. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated she needed to know if there would be one polling <br />place or two. <br /> <br />Council indicated there would be one polling place. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he had received a letter from a resident expressing concerns <br />about the Highway 10 corridor plan and noted he had copied it to Council and the City <br />Administrator. He then said that he feels the concerns are legitimate and asked that they be <br />reviewed. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he had been given a flier by a resident that had information <br />indicating that the School District had announced that all students located within two miles of the <br />school will be required to walk, find alternate transportation, or pay $200 per student to be <br />bussed. He then said that he finds that to be a safety issue and asked residents to contact the <br />school district directly at 651/639-6208 to discuss the matter. He further asked if any <br />representatives of the City would be attending the meetings scheduled to discuss this matter. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated that Deputy Chief Brennan had been attending the meetings. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if there were any proposals for safety at crosswalks. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated she did not know. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether a representative from public works would be attending <br />the meetings. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated she thought Public Works Director Lee was attending but <br />said she would verify that information. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked Staff to look into whether City Staff is participating in these <br />meetings and then asked residents to call 651/639-6208 to express concerns because he thinks <br />this is a ludicrous proposition. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick asked for a copy of the flier because he had not seen it. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick pointed out that the School District is not going to attempt to have a <br />referendum on a levy increase this year. He then said that if he still had school age children he <br />would be getting involved in the efforts and suggested residents do so. <br />
