Mounds View City Council June 24, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 10 <br />Mayor Sonterre said that Mr. Ericson is an absolute picture of public service and thanked him for <br />the information. <br />Mayor Sonterre commented that there is a catch basin that is at an elevation that would take a <br />fantastic flood and asked if there was a necessity to revisit that and lower it so it would be of <br />value. And, where would the water lead to and what is the impact of that water being distributed <br />someplace else. <br />Director Ericson indicated that all the options are being looked at. He then said Public Works is <br />looking at whether the outlet was put in too high and where water would go if it was lowered <br />enough to be utilized. <br />Mayor Sonterre asked if there should be a barricade or flasher to keep someone from running into <br />the tree at the end of the trailway. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that Staff would install a barricade. <br />Mayor Sonterre asked for the numbers of citations that Jeremiah has handed out and whether the <br />situations had been remedied. <br />Director Ericson indicated he did not have that information in front of him but could provide it. <br />He then said that the issue with giving out citations is that when it gets to that level it usually <br />means the resident is not willing to cooperate and the process is slow. <br />Mayor Sonterre asked for the number of identified violations and those that have not been <br />remedied. <br />Mayor Sonterre asked if any audience members had questions for Mr. Ericson. <br />C. Public Works Department Quarterly Report <br />Public Works Director Lee gave an overview of his quarterly report. <br />Director Lee gave an overview of the projects pending within the City. <br />Director Lee indicated the H2 schedule had changed and the contract will be awarded on July 22, <br />2002 with construction to begin in early to mid-August. <br />Director Lee indicated he has been working on obtaining two permanent easements for a trailway <br />on the far east end from Jake's Sports Cafe and the property to the west of that. <br />Director Lee indicated that parking could be added to the H2 project with 10 parallel spaces at a <br />cost of $6,000. He then said Council had decided to prohibit parking and asked for direction on <br />the matter. <br />
