<br /> <br /> <br /> M EMORANDUM <br /> <br />to: Mounds View City Council <br />from: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />re: February 4, 2019 Workshop <br />date: January 31, 2019 <br /> <br />Some background for the workshop Monday night. <br /> <br />Representative Moller: <br />Representative Moller is specifically seeking feedback from the council on <br />what issues are important/critical to you. We have spoken a number of <br />times and I have shared the importance of LGA, Local Control, and <br />Unfunded mandates. I am also meeting with her next Monday to discuss <br />the definition of prosecuting agency with respect to Chapter 307 of the <br />statutes based on the media inquiry we received. That chapter deals with <br />fines levied and used to combat sexual exploitation of youth. <br /> <br />As of this writing Thursday morning she is the Chief Author of 3 bills; <br />House Files 10, 327 and 418 (the latter two just introduced on the 28th). All <br />deal with criminal sexual assault/harassment/conduct. From my 25+ years’ <br />experience down at the capitol, this shows remarkable discipline as most <br />freshman introduced a larger number of bills. Furthermore, this is in her <br />professional field of expertise and clearly a passion. She is co-author on 27 <br />other bills which provides some insight into other areas she supports. <br />Topics range from free public transit on election day, to insulin assistance <br />program, to firefighting issues, to mental health, hands free cell phone when <br />driving, gender equality and more. <br /> <br />Sketch Plans: <br />Both the Long Lake Woods (Harstad proposal) and INH/Crossroad Pointe <br />projects will be before. Staff needs direction on both in order to proceed. <br />Both have gone before the Planning Commission and both have had <br />neighborhood meetings. <br /> <br />Long Lake Woods – In short, we are to the point of go or no go. A go <br />decision is likely to result in the City having to use eminent domain to <br />obtain the final right of way/road dedication on the platted road that exists. <br />This action will be limited to the Doll property as the developer has either <br />the City has acquired or the developer has agreements to acquire. Attorney <br />Riggs will be present.
