Mounds View City Council August 14, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 2 l~ u 6. REPORTS Council Member Stigney commented on his attendance at the National Night Out events and appreciation for resident's interest in that event. With regard to noise and low-flying aircraft complaints on the Anoka County Airport, Council Member Stigney requested residents call Jack Eberlein of MAC Operations at 612-726-5111. He advised that the control tower does not log any complaints. Mayor Coughlin stated it is actually a federal offense to interfere with the operations of the control tower so multiple telephone calls to the control tower could result in a problem. He stated the normal complaint number to call is 612-726-9411 and advised that telephone calls made to that telephone number are tracked and logged. Council Member Stigney noted that Mr. Eberlein also would like to be called with complaints and indicated he would log them as well. Council Member Marty thanked the Police and Fire Departments for their participation at the National Night Out events. He commented on the block party in his neighborhood, which was the first one held, and visitors that attended. Council Member Marty reported on his attendance at a Cable Commission meeting and budget discussions held. He advised they discussed a desire to roll what is not spent into next year's budget. Council Member Marty stated they also talked about cablecasting other City Council meetings on Sundays. He advised that option is not yet decided and will be further discussed. He stated there has been interest in the Springsted Highway 10 study but, at the last work session, the Mayor had mentioned that Highway 10 ticketing was up 25%. Mayor Coughlin stated that is correct, ticketing and other traffic stops are up 25%. Council Member Quick had no report. Council Member Thomason had no report. Mayor Coughlin thanked all who were involved in the 18 group and block parties and stated his appreciation to DARE Officer Tim Brennon who was the main contact for all the block parties. He also stated his thanks to the Mounds View Lions Club who donated ice cream to many block parties, commenting it was very poplar with both kids and "kids at heart" like himself. Acting City Administrator Ulrich reported that the Rice Creek Watershed Director has estimated it would be two months before a preliminary plan for Rice Creek Ponds is available for review.
