<br />Mounds View Planning Commission February 16, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 21 <br /> <br /> <br />Superintendent John Hammerschmidt had indicated that if this matter was delayed, the City <br />would lose $800 per day, and he had wanted to make the Planning Commission aware of this. <br />He stated he did not believe the item should be tabled, adding that he was uncertain why Mr. <br />Hammerschmidt was not present, as he had indicated this was a very important issue. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated he could understand the importance of $800 per day for the next <br />14 days, however, the City could be looking at these signs for the next 15 years. <br /> <br />Mr. Jahnke stated this was correct, however, with this postponement, the item could be delayed <br />for 60 days. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson explained that the item had been tabled until the March 1 meeting of the <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Jahnke stated he had simply wanted to inform the Commission regarding the apparent <br />urgency of this matter.

He stated that everyone was aware of how displeased he is about the bonds at the <br />golf course that must be paid, and this was the money that was to assist in this. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson stated it was good that Mr. Jahnke had brought this point forward, and it <br />needs to be discussed further. He stated he was uncertain that two weeks would make a great <br />deal of difference, because it would take that amount of time to sufficiently resolve the other <br />issues, regardless. <br /> <br />Mr. Jahnke reiterated that he had misunderstood, and had only heard 60 days, adding that $800 <br />per day at 60 days represents a substantial amount of money. He stated the matter must have <br />been tabled as he came down to City Hall, and he had just wanted to bring this information <br />forward. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson stated he would assume there is a formal contract signing at some point, <br />and inquired where the $800 per day fits into the timing of that. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Jopke stated $800 was the amount that Mr. Hammerschmidt <br />estimated the City would lose in revenues, in that every day that the construction of these
