Reports of Staff January 16, 2020 Page 2 of 2 C. Mounds View Business Council Meeting The last Mounds View Business Council meeting was held December 11, 2019 from 7:30-9:00 a.m. at City Hall. The topic was the City’s water preservation program that launched January 1, 2020 and includes efforts to upgrade, maintain, protect and conserve the City’s municipal water supplies and reductions in the waste water discharge which the City currently pays over $1 million to the Met Council for treatment. The next meeting will be held at the Mermaid March 11, 2020. All meetings are free and all EDC Members are encouraged to attend. D. Skyline Motel The EDA has completed the demolition of the Skyline Motel and a wetland delineation study. A small wetland was found in the lower depression on the North side of the site. Public Works is getting their street sweeper tailings tested to determine if they can be used to fill the depression and still be able to support a structure. In the meantime, the EDA has heard developer proposals from four developers. The EDA will be hearing two proposals January 6, 2020 and will likely pass a resolution January 13, 2020 to move forward with one of the developers. Buer Welding is cooperating with the City to sell their backlot to the developer that the EDA chooses to move forward with. They won’t sign a Letter of Intent unless the City is also in agreement. Bauer Welding has indicated that they would like to keep a portion of the lot for future expansion slated to begin within two years. Bio Clean is also planning to move forward with their expansion project once the title work on the easement between their lot and the EDA’s lot is cleared up. E.
