Mounds View City Council April 23, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br />explained he had contacted both the Finance Director and the City Administrator and had been <br />told that part of the reimbursement amount was for a TV/VCR. He then questioned who <br />authorized the purchase of the TV/VCR. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated that City Administrator Miller had authorized the purchase because he <br />had wanted to provide the City Council office with a television set where meetings and tapes <br />could be reviewed. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty stated he did not feel there was a need for the TV/VCR in the Council <br />office as he feels it could be put to better use somewhere else. He then stated he feels there is a <br />need for televisions at the banquet center that are not budgeted for and that he feels the television <br />should be used at the banquet center. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated the television was the City’s television and that he had no problem <br />with it being removed from the Council office if that was the wish of the rest of Council. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas stated she did not feel strongly one way or the other toward the <br />location of the TV/VCR. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney stated he has a strong objection to buying something if there are other <br />ways available to watch the meeting. He then stated he feels purchases such as this should go <br />before Council for discussion and approval. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Marty.

Continuation of Public Hearing, Discussion and Consideration of a <br />Conditional Use Permit and Development Review Request for Pinewood <br />Elementary School, 5500 Quincy Drive. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre reopened the public hearing at 7:31 p.m. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson explained this is a request from ISD 621 to expand <br />the Pinewood Elementary School by adding approximately 10,000 square feet of building space <br />and 42 parking stalls. He noted this matter was before the Planning Commission four times and <br />the Planning Commission adopted a Resolution recommending Council approval. <br /> <br />Director Ericson explained that there is no longer a request for a variance before Council as the <br />parking was reconfigured to stay within the required setbacks. <br />
