Mounds View City Council October 14, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 17 Mayor Sonterre asked what the City spent on legal fees on this matter. City Administrator Miller indicated she did not have those figures at this time but could look into the matter. Council Member Stigney said the letter from Mr. Halva referenced a telephone conversation with the City Attorney. He then asked what was discussed. City Attorney Riggs indicated there was no discussion of a settlement proposal other than asking if the matter could be resolved. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney. To Table This Matter to the October 28, 2002 Meeting to Allow Time for Staff to Generate More Information. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. Council Member Stigney indicated he would like a legal opinion from the City Attorney, including a valid settlement recommendation. Council Member Marty indicated he had attended the recent rotary meeting where AED was discussed and he would like the City to discuss purchasing another unit to keep at the Community Center. He also indicated that New Brighton is working on a video that would show how to operate the AED in an attempt to alleviate the fear of operation. Council Member Marty indicated the candidates’ speeches would be aired on CTV-15 on October 15, 2002 at 8:00 p.m. and asked if Staff could scroll that information on Channel 16 to inform residents. Council Member Marty indicated he had been approached by residents concerning the property on Woodale where fill is being dumped. He then said that the property contains a berm that has not been leveled out and he is concerned that, even after the leveling, that property would be higher than the neighboring properties. Council Member Thomas asked for a schedule of about when the grading will be completed. Public Works Director Lee indicated some grading had been done and leveled off a month ago but they are continuing to bring in fill periodically and will level it off. He then said that the property would be filled to the street elevation and slope to the north to allow for drainage and noted that no drainage would be allowed to flow from the subject property onto adjacent properties. He also indicated that the City uses the site as a fill location and the budget would need to be adjusted by $3,000 if the City is not able to use that location for depositing sand from street sweeping.
