Page 4 <br />October 29, 1996 <br />Mounds View City Council <br />Mr. Siercks asked if Ms. Trude and the rest of the Council members approved of Ms. Hankner's resignation <br />to avoid the cost of a Special Election. Furthermore, he felt that if Council members run for a four year <br />office, they should stay on for the full term they were elected for. <br />Ms. Trude explained that the Council has followed the City Charter and State Statutes in regard to Ms. <br />Hankner's resignation. Mr. Bob Long, City Attorney provided information in regard to the state laws and <br />city charter requirements for filling the vacancy. <br />Cameron Obert, 8315 Greenwood Drive, stated he was very disappointed that more of the candidates for <br />Council were not present at the City Council meeting. He stated a Council Candidate's first priority <br />should be what is best for Mounds View. <br />Bruce Brasaemle, 5127 Long Lake Road, stated he felt it was unfair that residents were not given an <br />opportunity to file for Ms. Hankner's council position. Ms. Hankner's resignation came in after the filings <br />for office were closed. He felt the Council should have opened a small window to allow for others to file <br />for office after the resignation was accepted. <br />Mr. Long gave a brief statement, describing those areas in both the City Charter and State Statutes which <br />• directly related to this. The Council has followed the correct procedure and if this is an issue that does not <br />appear fair, the Council and Charter Commission should take a closer look at it for future cases. <br />Sandra Gerlach, 2200 Kingsway Lane, Townsedge Park, stated a few years back, residents approached the <br />Council asking for a Park Closing Ordinance at their mobile home park. <br />Mr. Long gave a brief update as to the status of the Ordinance. It was decided that this would be discussed <br />further at the November work session and determine a date for the Public Hearing. <br />PUBLIC HEARINGS: <br />The Public Hearing scheduled for 7:05 p.m. was canceled. <br />COUNCIL BUSINESS: <br />A) Consideration of Adoption of Resolution 5036, Denying a Conditional Use Permit for the New <br />Apostolic Church to Construct a Church Facility at 3025 County Road H, and Resolution No. 5037, <br />Denying a Development Review for the New Apostolic Church to Construct a Church Facility at <br />3025 County Road H. (Please note change from original Agenda. ) <br />Mr. Bob Long, City Attorney, explained that the applicant for the Conditional Use Permit and <br />Development Review was Stahl Construction on behalf of the New Apostolic Church. At this time, they <br />no longer have a legal property interest in the site so they are not an eligible applicant. This was confirmed <br />with both the Church, the construction company, and the Contract-for-Deed Owner. It would be <br />appropriate therefore to deny the requests as the applicant has not withdrawn the applications. <br />• MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Trude to approve Resolution 5036, Denying a Conditional Use Permit for the <br />New Apostolic Church to Construct a Church Facility at 3025 County Road H, and to approve Resolution <br />
