Mounds View City Council February 12, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 4 • Humanity, the City and private organizations was purchased and rebuilt and now has a happy mother and two children living in it. Mayor Sonterre reported the I-35W corridor meeting was January 25, 2001. Mayor Sonterre reported he met with Representative Evans and Senator Chaudhary on February 12, 2001 to discuss upcoming legislation. The most important of which is turnback funds from the state to the county and how this limits what the City can do as far as improvements to the County Highway 10 corridor. Both Representative Evans and Senator Chaudhary have indicated they will begin work to find a way around the turnback issue in order to allow the City to make improvements to the County Highway 10 corridor. Mayor Sonterre reported the cable schedule is now on the City website and will be monitored and maintained. He also reported Focus News has agreed to run a weekly schedule with changes as necessary. Council Member Marty reported there was a short golf course meeting today. Mr. Hammerschmidt gave a brief update on First Tee and the golf course expansion. Council Member Marty clarified they were just discussing it at this point, not going forward at this time. They did however decide to make application to the First Tee organization. The Committee also discussed having a golf course task force committee made up of residents. This may or may not be a good idea depending on what future course the City takes with the golf course. If the Committee does decide to have a citizen task force the City will let residents know. He also noted the City bulletin board sign was incorrectly displa}nng the time for the meeting as 5:00 p.m. not 5:30 p.m. Council Member Stigney reported he had attended the Rice Creek Watershed meeting with residents on the ponding issue. He noted it would be nice if other Council could review the tape to make themselves aware of residents' concerns as there still seems to be a lot of concerns. Mayor Sonterre noted there must be a lot of interest in the meeting as both copies of the tape were checked out. Council Member Marty reported he attended the first meeting of the Community Center last Monday before the work session. There was discussion on developing a plan for emergency procedures for the City. Retired Lieutenant Dave Brick is the emergency coordinator for the City and the City hopes to replace him soon.
