Mounds View City Council August 14, 2023 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked how the department handles ghost guns. Police Chief Zender <br />explained these were very difficult and stated he hoped further regulations would be passed down <br />from the federal government to address this growing concern. <br /> <br />Bob King, 7408 Silver Lake Road, commended Police Chief Zender and his officers on how well <br />they do their job. <br /> <br />Sharon Kirscher, 8406 Red Oak Drive, asked how the police department was addressing the guns <br />being made from 3D printers. Police Chief Zender stated the ATF and feds are going to have to <br />further regulate this concern. <br /> <br />7. PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> <br />Bob King, 7408 Silver Lake Road, asked how the City Council defined a public place. He feared <br />that the Council would be putting undue stress on the police department having to patrol public <br />streets and sidewalks. <br /> <br />City Attorney Riggs explained this matter would be further defined and addressed under agenda <br />Item 8I. <br /> <br />Mr. King indicated he did not support organized garbage collection in Mounds View. He requested <br />the Council hold off taking action on this item because residents would be coming forward with a <br />signed petition. <br /> <br />Rene Johnson, 7385 Pleasant View Drive, thanked the Council for communicating the Mounds <br />View fall clean-up day with residents. She expressed concern with the fact the City posted the <br />mayoral candidates in the Vadnais Heights Press versus the Pioneer Press. She recommended the <br />City be consistent with its communication. She commented on a survey residents on Pleasant View <br />Drive received noting the suggested return date was August 4, 2023. She explained she received <br />the survey on July 31, 2023 and residents did not have a reasonable amount of time to review and <br />complete the survey. She urged the City do better when trying to communicate and gather <br />information from the public. <br /> <br />CR Barragan, 7765 Spring Lake Road, thanked Council Member Lindstrom and Acting Mayor <br />Meehlhause for meeting with him. He indicated a three foot fence was discussed instead of a four <br />foot fence. He encouraged the Council to proceed in this manner. He commented on the four foot <br />drop on his property and asked that steps be installed in order allow him to market his property as <br />having lake access. <br /> <br />Sharon Kirscher, 8406 Red Oak Drive, requested the City Council quit using acronyms and use <br />real words in order to better involve residents in packet information and meetings. <br /> <br />Carol Mueller, 8343 Groveland Road, expressed concern regarding an item on the Consent <br />Agenda, Item 5A, Resolution 9800, Approving a Settlement Agreement. She assumed the City <br />reached an agreement with someone and she would like further information as to what this <br />agreement was about.
