Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />1r~ <br />u <br />• <br />Council Member Marty noted he had asked at that meeting if the traffic enforcement issues could <br />be addressed and then asked Chief Clark about the issues raised such as u-turns, speeding, and <br />parking violations. <br />Chief Clark indicated officers were asked to concentrate on the area of the school during school <br />start and release times and randomly the rest of the day. He noted residents had called him to <br />thank him for the enforcement as it was very noticeable. He then explained that the area was hit <br />heavy for four days and will continue to be randomly patrolled. He further explained that very <br />few citations for violations were issued as the extra patrol in the area was a deterrent. <br />Council Member Marty asked Chief Clark to report back in two weeks to see if the extra patrol is <br />still making a difference in the area. <br />Council Member Quick noted that at the last meeting Council had asked for an environmental <br />impact study for the Greenfield pond. He then noted, for Council information, the study will cost <br />taxpayers between $5,000 and $10,000. <br />Council Member Marty asked if Assistant to the City Administrator Reed was aware of any <br />discussions concerning the ponding issue with Rice Creek Watershed District. <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Reed indicated she was not aware of any discussions <br />concerning the ponding issue. <br />Council Member Stigney stated it was his understanding that Rice Creek Watershed District <br />would pay to conduct the study. <br />Council Member Quick acknowledged that Rice Creek Watershed District would pay for the <br />study but clarified taxpayers would still be funding the study. <br />6.
