Mounds View City Council January 22, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 7 Ms. Sanbeck noted there may be an issue with allowing the theatre to have overflow parking in the vacant lot as she believes there is an ordinance that does not allow vehicles to park if there is not class five, black top or concrete. Ms. Sanbeck asked City Attorney Riggs if a resident is allowed to ask for salary by position and then to ask for which positions an individual holds within the City. City Attorney Riggs indicated the City would be able to release the information if it was requested by position and then positions held by a certain individual were requested. Dan Lamb of 2305 Sherwood Road stated he is confused by the City’s commitments of publication for the Rice Creek Watershed District meetings. Mr. Lamb stated he believed the City had agreed to expand the mailing list and to make an effort to publicize the issue through the legal newspaper and the cable channel. He then inquired as to whether the City has expanded the mailing list. Mr. Lamb stated he had gotten an e-mail from Mr. Ulrich that said he had invited all residents from the original mailing list but did not make mention of an expanded mailing list. City Administrator Miller stated she was not aware of who was on the original mailing list as it was established prior to her start date with the City. Mayor Sonterre indicated it was his recollection the City had agreed to expand the mailing area three to five blocks beyond the original mailing list parameters. City Administrator Miller indicated she had received an e-mail from someone with an expanded mailing list. It is her understanding that Mr. Ulrich was sending out notices based on an expanded list. The City was also planning to put notice of the meeting on the electronic board in front of City Hall and to publish it in two editions of Focus News. It will also be put on the cable access channel and the City’s website. Mr. Lamb stated for the record the meeting is scheduled for February 8, 2001 at 6:30 p.m. which is only about two weeks away. He questioned when the City intended to get the information out to the public. City Administrator Miller indicated she had not done the mailing so she is unsure if it has been sent out. Mr. Lamb indicated the mailing has gone out as he received a postcard already. His concern is for those residents who may be interested in attending the meeting but are not on the mailing list. There are residents in Mounds View who have expressed interest in assisting the City to get information out to the public as the last thing he wants to see is people not getting to voice their opinion and ending up with problems like the residents here tonight to discuss the problems with the movie theatre.
