• Ms. Hankner stated she is still inclined to say that she wants to vote fora 0 % <br />levy increase. If there is a lot of support for the bridge, she would vote to <br />have it replace another lute item on the budget as she feels there are a lot of <br />people in the city who cannot afford to have a tax increase. <br />Mayor Linke took this opportunity to read a letter he had received from Mr. <br />Gene Wagner, representing the Silver Lake Woods Homeowners Association, <br />dated October 19, 1995. This letter which was signed by the residents stated <br />that the homeowners in the Silver Lake Woods Association would like to see <br />the pedestrian bridge stopped. <br />Gene Wagner, 2647 Lake Court Circle, asked where the pressure came from <br />to pursue the bridge. It sounds as though there was perhaps a lot of pressure <br />from the trailways people and it has expanded from that to include safety <br />issues, etc. <br />Mayor Linke stated it was put in the budget because the council looked at <br />various ways to finance it and it was decided that a 3 9b levy increase was <br />probably the most feasible way to finance it. <br />Mr. Wagner stated there are a lot of residents who do not feel the need to <br />increase taxes for something that they do not feel is necessary. There aze <br />• lots of other things an increase could be used for before a pedestrian bridge. <br />He has not heard one person stand up at the council meeting in support of the <br />bridge, and in comparison he has heard a lot of opposition. <br />Mayor Linke noted that the budget was based on a 0 % increase. If residents <br />want the pedestrian bridge they will let the council know, likewise if they do <br />not want it they will also make it known. <br />Cliff Ash, 2664 Lake Court Drive, stated he is opposed to the bridge. Based <br />upon his calculations, taxes in his azea (based on a $110,000-$120,000 value) <br />will go up between $60 - $85 per yeaz. A lot of the people in the <br />development are "empty nesters" and are on a limited income. To him it <br />looks like it is a "want", not a "must". There are many other things in the <br />city that the money could be used for. Furthermore, let Fridley build a <br />pedestrian bridge on Highway 65, as they have a bigger problem there than <br />Mounds View. <br />Henry Ruggles, 2629 Lake Court Drive, stated the letter from the Mounds <br />View Planning- Commission dated August 16, 1995 which states the <br />commission's support of the bridge does not include two of the commissioners. <br />One name missing is his as he is not in support of the bridge. He asked what <br />the total dollaz amount is for the project. <br />• <br />
