He explained that, on behalf of the City of Mounds View, he had asked MAC to delay voting on master plan for the Anoka Airport until an answer could be obtained as to whether or not MAC could proceed with their plan given the court order that exists governing the airport. He stated he feels residents should ask their legislatures to sponsor an amendment to that Section of the law that would make it clear that the airport runway was to stay at a 4,000 foot runway. MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Stigney to authorize Staff to work with the State Representative to develop legislation that would clarify law that would govern the development of the airport. VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Report of City Administrator: Mr. Whiting noted that he had distributed a copy of a memo dated January 8th from the architect on the community center which laid out some issues that will need to be addressed at the next council meeting. He noted that some of the options that the council has been considering for the community center are stretching the discussed budget and these items will need to be discussed further before the bid specifications are put together.. One alternative the council discussed was the heated sidewalk - an item which Mr. Whiting felt the council should talk about. It was the general consensus of the Council to drop the heated sidewalk from the bid specifications. Mr. Whiting provided a brief update on the Spring Lake Road project. He noted that staff will be putting together some type of model for the council to review in regard to MSA and street policies.
