Mounds View City Council July 9, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 4 Mr. Lamb thanked Council Member Quick for that clarification. Mr. Lamb commented that the land use has grown by 74 acres for industrial use. He thought that was a strenuous growth on the City. Mayor Sonterre stated that issue is on the agenda for this meeting. Doris Holman, 3034 Ardimore Ave. questioned the availability of information off the web site. She said the agenda is not on the web site for this meeting, and that has happened repeatedly. Also, when the web page was relocated, minutes from the year 2000 disappeared. She stated that if the City is going to promote the use of the web site for city information, then it should be kept up. Mayor Sonterre explained that the City has joined forces with Roseville several months ago. Our city is using their server. Mounds View doesn’t have a dedicated web maintenance individual at the time. Mr. Ericson has spent some time maintaining the web page, but his duties have overtaken the time he could volunteer on the web page. The City is looking for someone to take that job over. Mayor Sonterre offered to check with Patrick about the cabl e portion of the meetings being put on the web site, and suggested Ms. Holman request the agenda be emailed to her for each meeting. Ms. Holman stated she was here four months ago on the one-year anniversary of her stepson’ s death on Highway 10 in front of the City Hall. She was told Highway 10 would be changed. She understood the issue of lowering the speed limit in this area would be on an upcoming agenda and she hasn’ t seen it yet. Mayor Sonterre replied that there is a public open house on that study and other items coming up. Ramsey County completed a study and determined the speed limit of 55 was appropriate. Council Member Marty mentioned that he saw in the City schedule that on Wed., July 11 the Highway 10 Team will meet, and next Monday from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. an open house in the Council Chambers will be held on this issue. There is also a work session planned for Monday, July 16, and suggested Ms. Holman attend the Highway 10 corridor study as well. Steven Berg, 2316 Louisa Ave. asked what exactly is a retreat and what the difference is between that and a study session. Council Member Marty explained a retreat is for the entire Council to meet and discuss how the Council has been performing and how to improve their performance Mr. Berg asked if the City Attorney attended the retreat and if the City paid for his presence. Mayor Sonterre stated an attorney was there. Mr. Berg commented that he agreed that the meetings should always be held at the City Hall and also agreed that Council M ember Thomas’ comments as mentioned earlier were inappropriate.
