Mounds View City Council September 12,2011 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 6 • <br /> available from Ramsey County. <br /> Mayor Flaherty clarified that he did not support the Vikings stadium, the .5% tax increase, an <br /> expansion of the airport or increased traffic levels on 35W. However, he supported the <br /> revitalization of the northern suburbs, the economic development that would occur in the <br /> community and supported the thousands of construction jobs that would be created through the <br /> development. He wanted to see the largest superfund site in the State cleaned, while passing <br /> along enjoyment to the Vikings fans throughout the State. <br /> Council Member Stigney requested the Resolution be redrafted before the Council takes action <br /> on this issue. City Administrator Ericson stated he could make the proposed changes and allow <br /> the Council to take action later this evening, or this item should be deferred to a future meeting. <br /> Council Member Gunn was in favor of taking action this evening. <br /> Council Member Mueller agreed as she wanted the opinion of the City of Mounds View passed <br /> along to the County before it was too late. <br /> Council Member Hull felt that action on the Resolution should be delayed until further <br /> information was available from Ramsey County. <br /> Council Member Stigney did not feel it was proper for the average resident to provide a billion • <br /> dollar stadium for the Minnesota Vikings. <br /> Mayor Flaherty indicated the Resolution of Support would allow for Mounds View issues and <br /> concerns to be voiced. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Mueller.
