Mounds View City Council December 12, 2022 Regular Meeting Page 12 the December 27, 2022 City Council meeting. 1 2 Council Member Bergeron stated he understood this property would develop in the future, but 3 noted the proposed building was too big for the site. With that being said, he wanted to make it 4 clear that he was fully committed to affordable housing in Mounds View. 5 6 Council Member Cermak explained she was opposed to this project due to the location. She noted 7 she moved to the community 37 years ago with five children and four additional children from a 8 previous marriage. She stated she would be viewed as one of those people who were burdening 9 the school district. She indicated she worked hard to put her kids through private school. She 10 encouraged the residents in attendance to not categorize people because not everyone was a burden 11 on the public school system. She stated she was not one of “those” people, but rather was working 12 to make Mounds View a better community. 13 14 Council Member Meehlhause commented the Council met with representatives from the school 15 district at a work session meeting several years ago. He indicated the Council asked if the school 16 district wanted to deal with the challenges of increasing enrollment or declining enrollment and 17 was told they would rather deal with increasing enrollment. He reported Mounds View had the 18 highest number of median priced homes sold last year because people want to be a part of this 19 school district. 20 21 Mayor Mueller asked what action should be taken on Items 8B2 and 8B3.
