Mounds View City Council January 22, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br />Council Member Marty took issue with the last comment by Mr. Lamb as Council Chambers was <br />packed full of residents voicing concerns about the movie theatre. <br />Mr. Lamb indicated he was referring to the comment made that some residents did not speak up <br />when they had their chance and then ended up with a problem. <br />Council Member Thomas suggested Staff check to see if residents in temporary housing and <br />multi-housing received the mailing as in the past it has been policy not to send City mailings to <br />those groups. <br />Mayor Sonterre asked City Administrator Miller to check with Mr. Ulrich to determine which <br />residents were on the mailing list and then respond to Mr. Lamb's inquiries. <br />Mr. Lamb asked if anyone from Council would be attending the Rice Creek Watershed District <br />meeting. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated someone from Council should be at the meeting but indicated there is <br />no formal designation of which Council Member will be attending. <br />Council Member Marty indicated he will be out of town. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated he planned on attending if he did not have a conflict. He also <br />requested the meeting be cable cast as it was not last time. <br />Council Member Thomas indicated she will be attending the meeting. <br />Mr. Lamb stated this issue has been going on for some time even though Council has taken the <br />position there is no plan for it. There was a study done which cost approximately $6,000 which <br />he believes to be a lot of money for a preliminary plan. The City has called it a feasibility study <br />and is now looking into another proposal which will require substantial engineering hours and at <br />a time when the City should be looking into ways to reduce costs he asked how the City can <br />justify the expenditure of even more money on a preliminary plan. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated there will be considerable debate and more definition at the meeting <br />before the issue is brought before Council to determine the appropriate course of action. Mayor <br />Sonterre respectfully requested Mr. Lamb's attendance at the meeting, as this is a very important <br />issue to the City and area residents. <br />10. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />A.
