• Page 4 March 24, 1997 Mounds View City Council Mayor McCarty closed the Public Hearing at 7:28 p.m. Carol Muellner, Property Manager of Colonial Village, stated since the Conditional Use Permit was granted, only three new homes have been put in. Therefore, she does not see this as a problem for the residents on Quincy Street. MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Quick to Confirm the Conditional Use Permit Issued for On-Site Mobile Home Sales at 2075 Rustad Lane, with the same stipulations, based on the one-year review as required by the permit. ROLL CALL VOTE: Mayor McCarty aye Council member Koopmeiners aye Council member Trude aye Council member Quick aye Council member Stigney aye Motion Carried (5 - 0) COUNCIL BUSINESS: A. Requesting Approval to transfer $3,490 from Cable Franchise Fund to 1997 Cable TV Fund for the upgrade of audio system for televising City Council Work Sessions. Mary Saarion, Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry, explained that the set up of the Council Chambers does not provide an adequate audio system to allow for the televising of the Council Work Sessions. Three companies were contacted, but only one company, Blumberg Communications was able to come in. The other two companies indicated a two to three month delay. Blumberg Communications put in the existing microphone system in the Council Chambers and did the cabling as well. They submitted a proposal which includes the equipment and installation. Ms. Saarion noted that the Cable TV Commission had requested some additional equipment to further assist in televising the city meetings and programs. She proceeded to go through the additional requests. She noted that funds are available in the Cable TV Franchise fund. Council member Stigney wondered if the city should consider looking at an Eight Input Mixer if they are going to update their technology. He noted that he feels some of the equipment could also be obtained at a lesser cost. Ms. Saarion noted that Blumberg Communications was available to come out immediately and upgrade the system, whereas the other companies indicated a 2 - 3 month delay. Council member Trude stated she feels the P.A. system in the Council Chamber should also be evaluated at the same time as the other upgrades. It was the general consensus of the Council that some of the options be looked at more closely and discussed with Patrick Toth to be reviewed again at the next Council meeting. D. Consideration of a minor subdivision (lot split) for Carol Hoopingarner at 8344 Groveland Road. Mr. Ericson explained that this applicant was requesting approval of a minor subdivision to split her property into two lots. He noted that the applicant has submitted the required documents (with one minor change required) and staff is recommending approval of the subdivision.
