Mounds View City Council November 25, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked if Staff had any idea when the fencing would be going in at Jakes <br />and whether the plantings would be done in the spring. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated he had spoken with Rob Jacob earlier and <br />they are planning on getting the eight-foot fence up within a week but the wrought iron fence is <br />on order and they are not expecting to install that until next spring along with the landscaping. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty commented that Jakes had lost a lot of parking with the reconstruction of <br />H2. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked if there was a plan for snow removal at the site in order to avoid <br />the types of issues the theatre has had. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated that off the western edge of the new <br />parking there is an open area left un-landscaped for snow storage. He then said that in heavy <br />snow years they would have to remove snow from the site, if necessary. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if the brickwork would be completed on the billboard this year. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated it was his understanding that the brickwork <br />would not be completed this year. He then indicated that Staff is working with Mr. McCarver to <br />finalize the design for the base. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if anything was in the works for the Hardee’s site. He then said <br />that a resident had suggested to him that it would be a good location for a Long John Silvers. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated he had contacted Ken Henks who is the <br />Director of Development for Paster Enterprises concerning the site as the Mayor had given him <br />information on a potential restaurant. He then explained that the lease amount Mr. Henks wishes <br />to get scared the potential restaurant away but they stand by their numbers. He also indicated that <br />Hardee’s is still paying a lease payment so there is not a huge incentive to lease the site. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre asked whether there was any hope that the developers would consider using the <br />name Highway 10 Business Center. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated he had discussed the name of the <br />building with Mr. Carlson and does not feel that the name will be Highway 10 Business Center <br />as he intends to use the Abbey Carpet name. <br /> <br />B. Summary of 2003 Budget Changes and Overview <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen provided a summary of the 2003 budget changes and overview. The <br />first change in reviewing capital outlay requests he found two items in snow and ice control as a <br />division of the general fund that do not meet the definition so he is proposing to move them to a <br />supply item. The second change is in the Cable T.V. budget. After some input from Staff in
