Mounds View City Council February 12, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> <br />Humanity, the City and private organizations was purchased and rebuilt and now has a happy <br />mother and two children living in it. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre reported the I-35W corridor meeting was January 25, 2001. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre reported he met with Representative Evans and Senator Chadray on February 12, <br />2001 to discuss upcoming legislation. The most important of which is turnback funds from the <br />state to the county and how this limits what the City can do as far as improvements to the County <br />Highway 10 corridor. Both Representative Evans and Senator Chadray have indicated they will <br />begin work to find a way around the turnback issue in order to allow the City to make <br />improvements to the County Highway 10 corridor. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre reported the cable schedule is now on the City website and will be monitored and <br />maintained. He also reported Focus News has agreed to run a weekly schedule with changes as <br />necessary. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty reported there was a short golf course meeting today. Mr. <br />Hammerschmidt gave a brief update on First Tee and the golf course expansion. Council <br />Member Marty clarified they were just discussing it at this point, not going forward at this time. <br />They did however decide to make application to the First Tee organization. The Committee also <br />discussed having a golf course task force committee made up of residents. This may or may not <br />be a good idea depending on what future course the City takes with the golf course. If the <br />Committee does decide to have a citizen task force the City will let residents know. He also <br />noted the City bulletin board sign was incorrectly displaying the time for the meeting as 5:00 <br />p.m. not 5:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney reported he had attended the Rice Creek Watershed meeting with <br />residents on the ponding issue. He noted it would be nice if other Council could review the tape <br />to make themselves aware of residents’ concerns as there still seems to be a lot of concerns. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre noted there must be a lot of interest in the meeting as both copies of the tape <br />were checked out. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty reported he attended the first meeting of the Community Center last <br />Monday before the work session. There was discussion on developing a plan for emergency <br />procedures for the City. Retired Lieutenant Dave Brick is the emergency coordinator for the City <br />and the City hopes to replace him soon. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre noted the Community Center will be hosting the North Metro Home and Garden <br />Show on Saturday March 3, 2001 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Last year’s home and garden show <br />brought 2500 plus people to the City. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller noted Council had received the golf course feasibility study at the <br />work session and told Council that officials from Springstead would be at the next City Council
