Mounds View City Council Page Four <br /> • Special Meeting August 1, 1994 <br /> Judy restated that she felt the issue was traffic. She wanted good, <br /> safe parks and felt that the neighborhood wouldn't be getting a <br /> good park. She requested that the City provide the neighborhood <br /> with an additional exit to the park. <br /> Cindy Blood asked if the Council had considered how the <br /> neighborhood felt about the park. She was concerned about the <br /> process of deciding on a park in the area. "You never asked us if <br /> we wanted the park. We're not mean people, but it is our <br /> neighborhood" . <br /> Dave Long from the Parks and Recreation Commission stated that the <br /> Commission was sensitive to the concerns of the neighborhood and <br /> will try to improve all parks and work with everyone concerned. <br /> Wuori noted that all the information received last week and tonight <br /> was very valuable. She noted that the grant process required a <br /> rather fast track for a decision. <br /> Mary Saarion commented that the application is only an application <br /> stipulating what it is that the community would like to see <br /> • developed. It is only after the grant is obtained does the planning <br /> process actually begin in regards to specifics. It would be at that <br /> time that the neighborhood could work together to determine the <br /> details of what was desired. <br /> Wuori commented that the grant only starts the process and it is <br /> only specific to the property in question. <br /> Mayor Linke called the question of the vote taken at the July 25th <br /> meeting in regards to the grant application for the proposed <br /> Woodale Park <br /> AYES JulieandGar--y - <br /> NAYS: Phyllis, Diane and Jerry <br /> Patching contract bid <br /> Mike Ulrich explained that the contract provided for the <br /> replacement of 3 driveways and park pathways. Two bids had been <br /> received and bids were opened on August 1, 1994. Mary Saarion <br /> stated that the money for the replacement of the pathways was cut <br /> from this year's budget and that the Parks budget did not have the <br /> money to replace the paths. <br /> Mayor Like suggested that staff research the conditions of the <br /> paths and name a priority path for repaving in 1994. Staff was also <br /> • directed to determine an appropriate funding source. <br />
