Mounds View City Council Page 20 Regular Meeting June 26, 1995 Councilmember Trude reported on the Arsenal meeting she attended where discussion took place regarding the reuse of approximately 50% of Arsenal property for public and park purposes. She advised it was determined an American Indian did not have claim to any of the Arsenal land. Councilmember Trude reported Congressman Vento has assured that no gambling operation will be considered for the Arsenal property, unless a Federal agency were to authorize that type of use. Also, Alliant Tech was just awarded a $95 million munitions contract which requires very large safety areas where nothing can be developed. This includes the area Arden Hills plans to develop into housing, retail commercial, and manufacturing (adjacent to Highways 10 and 96). Duane McCarty asked if the Alliant Tech contract will result in an economic boost for Mounds View. Councilmember Quick stated it will probably not but it will keep the current crews working. He advised the munitions are not loaded at this facility. Mayor Linke speculated it will take a long time before • this property can be reused, especially since the contamination must first be addressed and there have been cutbacks in the Superfund. Councilmember Trude agreed. Report of Mayor Linke: a. Reported on a letter received from Ms. Scott dated June 14, 1995, expressing her appreciation to the Mounds View Police Department, in particular Investigator Larry Siluk, for their assistance in resolving a burglary and obtaining restitution. b. Reported on the Jure 24, 1995, opening o'f The Bridges Golf Course and dedication of the Club House to Richard Meyers. He stated this is a deserved acolyte to Mr. Meyers for his great contribution to Mounds View. c. Reported on activities to take place at the July 9, 1995, Festival in the Park, location of parking and times for shuttle services. • Report of Administrator: No report.
