Mounds View City Council August 12, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 10 <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated this issue first came up at the time of the dedication of the <br />shelter when there was comment that the air conditioner would be susceptible to vandalism <br />located on the ground. He then said that Public Works Director Lee has said that it would be <br />more cost effective to put it in the roof and the rest of the Park and Recreation Committee agreed <br />with him. <br /> <br />Jerry Linke of 2319 Knoll Drive said he feels the attic is the worst place to put it unless the pan <br />is indestructible. He then said, if the pan deteriorates and leaks, they City will end up replacing <br />the ceiling. He also commented that it is virtually impossible to ventilate it well enough in the <br />attic. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre asked to whom the original plan would have been submitted. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated this happened before he was hired but said he would <br />assume that it came to public works and then to Council for approval. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre commented that the City would have some responsibility for approving the plan. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked Staff to further research whether locating the air conditioner in <br />the attic is a good idea based on the input from Mr. Linke. <br /> <br />Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />H. Resolution 5816 Supporting Ramsey County Library 2003 Initiatives <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5816, a <br />Resolution Supporting Ramsey County Library 2003 Initiatives. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas commented that, since this was brought up at the last regular meeting, <br />she has spent some time thinking about the request for a vote of moral support from the City. <br />She then said that she feels this was a not so subtle request for support for a levy increase County <br />wide and she finds it somewhat disingenuous to approach the City for moral support when this <br />will turn into a levy increase. She further stated that she would determine whether or not to <br />support the County wide levy increase at the time of the election but will not support a request <br />for moral support or any other at this time. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre agreed that the appropriate time to make the decision on support would be on the <br />ballot. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he agreed. <br /> <br />Ayes – 1(Quick) Nays – 4 Motion failed. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre told Staff if the library wanted to bring something more tangible to Council they <br />would be willing to hear that.
