Mounds View City Council June 24, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 15 <br />Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated that is a contract issue that was not discussed. <br />Mayor Sonterre asked whether it would be possible to include the kids from Sunnyside in the <br />open house for public works in the future. He then commented that residents on that side of <br />Highway 10 feel left out of the loop at times. <br />David Jahnke of 8428 Eastwood Road asked if there were people appointed to commissions <br />within the City that do not reside in the City. He then asked if there were applicants that have <br />applied to the commissions that have not been appointed. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated that a past Council had granted an individual a special condition to sit <br />on the Police Civil Service Commission because he worked with the school district but did not <br />live in the City. He then indicated that the City Attorney has said that is not appropriate and <br />someone will be appointed shortly. He also indicated that there are other circumstances where <br />non-residents are on commissions but that is because they are business owners within the City. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated he has no applications for the vacant Planning Commission seat and <br />noted there is one seat on the Airports Committee and the Police Civil Service Commission. He <br />then noted he had three applications and had spoken to two of the candidates and will soon <br />contact the third. <br />8. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS <br />None. <br />9. REPORTS <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman handed out information to Council. <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman provided a brief overview of the events of the <br />EDA for the last six months. <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated he had met with 30 businesses <br />consisting of 42 meetings. <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated he had met with a New Brighton <br />business that is interested in relocating along Highway 10. <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated he had met with someone interested in <br />putting in a Laundromat but said it is a Laundromat that is vastly different from a standard <br />Laundromat as it includes a coffee shop and uses cards rather than coins. He also noted it would <br />be a 4,000 square foot building and there would be at least 300,000 worth of contractor <br />• improvements and the City has been contacted concerning permits. <br />
