Mounds View City Council September 24, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 11 Council Member Marty thanked all the residents who turned out for the community policing meeting that the Deputy Chief and other officers conducted on Tuesday. He then said he felt it was a good presentation that was well received by the residents. Community Development Director Ericson reported that the City would be holding a public meeting on October 15, 2001 at 6:00 p.m. at the Community Center to discuss the Highway 10 redevelopment project. Mayor Sonterre noted that Council feels the redevelopment of Highway 10 is very important to the City and asked residents to attend the meeting to provide input into the project. Council Member Marty concurred that as much resident input as possible is needed to make the project a success. He then noted that he thought there was an informational meeting scheduled for September 25, 20001 on the County Road H2 project. Mr. Pittman indicated he was not sure of the date for the County Road H2 project meeting. Mayor Sonterre noted that, in light of the horrific actions that took place on September 11, 2001, he had made some calls to the Anoka County Airport to inquire as to whether they had increased security. He then indicated that neither the airport nor the representative of the MAC he had spoken to had a report of any improvements in security made to small airports. He further indicated that he would continue to follow up with the airport concerning increased security. Assistant to the Administrator Reed indicated that the City Administrator had received a request from the public works department for reimbursement of the $50.00 fee for the cake for Mr. Decheine’s retirement party. Council Member Marty indicated that he felt that after 31 years of service the City could buy Mr. Decheine a cake. He then said that Mr. Decheine only got a plaque not a gold watch or anything of real value after all those years of service. Council Member Thomas indicated that Council could contribute to the cake fund as persons contributing to another person. Council Member Quick noted he felt the matter should be added to the legislative agenda. Council Member Stigney noted he had asked at the August 27, 2001 meeting whether it was okay for the City to disburse funds for the Mike Ulrich going away party. City Attorney Riggs indicated he remembered the specific question to be if the funds were disbursed in error, who can the City collect from. Council Member Stigney clarified that was not his question and said his question is whether the City should disburse money for the going away party.
