Bill Fritz, 8072 Long Lake Road, asked about the status of the extension of the airport road which was addressed at the Council meeting in July. Mr. Whiting stated he has spoken with staff about this issue and will once again contact the City of Blaine. Mayor McCarty noted that this road was moved to the North and is now in Anoka County so other jurisdictions will need to be involved as well. David Jahnke, 8428 Eastwood Road, wished to let the Council know of the impact that Julie Trude has had in Mounds View and extended his appreciation of her hard work on the behalf of families and small children in the community. Jerry Linke, 2319 Knoll Drive, thanked Julie Trude for her service on the City Council during the time that he served on the Council, stating that her services would truly be missed. Mr. Linke stated on July 28th, the Council discussed the possible sale of public land. At that time he was assured by Mayor McCarty that this was in the very preliminary stages and that the Park & Recreation Department would be notified before any action was taken and that land would be found to replace any park • land sold. He did not attend the following council meeting, however the Agenda for the August 11th meeting included reviewing an exclusive negotiations agreement with a developer for public land.
