Mounds View City Council Page 15 <br />Regular Meeting June 26, 1995 <br />Ms. Werner questioned whether she would be assessed for a <br />sewer project if it were really needed in another <br />neighborhood, and how staff would determine if her sewer <br />needed work. Mayor Linke reviewed how the sewer lines are <br />televised to determine need for repair based on cracking, <br />pulling sand, breaks, etc., and explained that storm sewers <br />are part of the Storm Water Management Plan. <br />Ms. Werner asked if she would be assessed if her system is <br />rebuilt to improve an area six blocks away. Mayor Linke <br />explained she will be assessed if it is found necessary to <br />replace her system. Ms. Werner reiterated her opinion the <br />information given to the public is not adequate and residents <br />are not convinced whether improvements are necessary. <br />Councilmember Hankner pointed out the City has employees who <br />work with the sewer system on a daily basis and with the <br />cameras and inspections know the status of the system. Also, <br />engineering experts are hired when a project is considered. <br />She suggested Ms. Werner contact staff if she wants to know <br />more about her system. <br />Councilmember Trude stated she understands the resident's <br />concerns and advised the City will provide notice of the <br />public hearing when staff can answer those types of specific <br />questions. <br />Mike McGuen (SP?), 8345 Red Oak Drive, encouraged the Council <br />to table further consideration. He agreed this is a <br />complicated issue but once adopted, the residents will have to <br />live with it. He asserted there are some inconsistencies in <br />the purpose statement and suggested a statement be included <br />indicating one of the Chapters overrides the other. He <br />indicated support for funding sealcoating projects from the <br />General Fund, but questioned whether this would result in <br />residents wanting their road sealcoated more quickly. Mr. <br />McGuen requested further study be done on the percentages <br />charged by different suburbs. <br />Mayor Linke advised Mounds View has already studied that and <br />the information is available to residents in the Public Book. <br />Mr. McGuen asserted that when <br />information, rumors start. He <br />to the Fall to allow adequate <br />would like real rYUmbers on <br />projects and suggested there <br />articles. <br />resident's don't have tangible <br />requested the matter be tabled <br />time for review. He stated he <br />resurfacing and sealcoating <br />also be additional newspaper <br />• <br />
