Mounds View City Council April 9, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br />now. He then stated another revenue source, which is a third option, is to maintain or control <br />operating costs and the additional revenue of the new course could subsidize the existing course. <br />Council Member Stigney questioned why Springsted was using outdated demographic <br />information. <br />The Springsted Representative stated it was the most current data they were able to obtain that <br />they were comfortable with. He stated they would not work with outdated data if there is current <br />available. He further stated there maybe data out there but it is not in the same format. <br />Council Member Marty thanked Springsted for their time, hard work, and research. He also <br />apologized for Springsted having to sit through the entire meeting last time and not be heard. <br />Mr. Hammerschmidt noted the golf course driving range is open and is booked through Friday. <br />He advised that anyone who wanted a tee time for the weekend should call now. <br />Council Member Marty asked if Mounds View was the first course to open. <br />Mr. Hammerschmidt stated Mounds View was the first course to open and that it had nice <br />reviews on WCCO as someone had called in to the station and said The Bridges is open. <br />• B. Greenfield Park Ponding Proposal <br />Mayor Sonterre noted Mr. Ulrich was not able to attend the meeting and City Administrator <br />Miller would present this matter. <br />City Administrator Miller noted representatives from the Rice Creek Watershed District Staff <br />were present to ask Council to approve the ponding project reviewed with Council on a number <br />of occasions and to authorize them to proceed with final plans and specifications. <br />City Administrator Miller explained there were two options for the pond. Option 1 is a pond <br />estimated at approximately 5 acres and option two is a pond estimated at approximately 3.7 <br />acres. She then stated Staff recommends approval of the ponding project. <br />Council Member Marty noted he had been told that approving the ponding project could preclude <br />the City of Mounds View from being requested or required to provide water quality ponds in the <br />future. He then asked Mr. Ericson to explain the situation. <br />Community Development Director Ericson explained there has been an indication from Rice <br />Creek Watershed that if the ponding were approved and built on the proposed site it could <br />eliminate the need to create ponding in other locations during street reconstruction. <br />Council Member Stigney questioned if something was done on Highway 10 how the ponding <br />would come into play. <br />
