Mounds View City Council June 24, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 12 Director Lee indicated it would be on the south side. Director Lee indicated that Pinewood Elementary is looking into signing at Quincy and County Road I which will be brought to the work session for discussion. Director Lee indicated the schools would be restriping all of the pavement crossings. Council Member Stigney asked if the critical crossings had been identified not just at the school. Director Lee indicated that it was his recommendation that the School develop a plan for getting pedestrians to school and MNDOT recommends that schools develop a crossing plan to show where those students would cross. He then said the school is working on the plan to designate certain intersections for crossing. Director Lee indicated the Park and Recreation Committee would like to discuss a skate park within the City. Director Lee indicated the Hillview warming house grand opening was held on May 23, 2002. He then publicly thanked Tim Sandquist who chose this project as his project to earn his Eagle Scout badge. He also indicated that the air-conditioning at Hillview was designed to be on the outside of the building at ground level and Staff is looking at relocating that to avoid vandalism. Director Lee noted that the public works open house for the first through third grade was held on May 24, and May 31, 2002. Director Lee indicated public works has hired 10 seasonal employees which helps with the workload and can serve as an apprenticeship for those interested in a career with public works. Director Lee reviewed the department's goals for Council. Director Lee recognized several employees for earning class c water license and acknowledge Mr. Dazenski for the letter of thanks. Council Member Marty commented that he felt the City should stick to the no parking on H2 because with the traffic study of 4,400 cars per day it would be too dangerous to have cars parked and doors opening along that stretch of road. He then suggested contacting the theatre property owner to request that more parking be provided. Council Member Marty expressed concern with using the water from Well Number 4 and said he would not want that water in the drinking water system or mixed with water from the other wells. Director Lee indicated a report would be provided to Council spelling out various options for Well Number 4 when the testing is completed. He then said that the substance in question is naturally occurring in all ground water but in this well the level is too high to meet the Department of Health standards.
