Mounds View City Council April 28, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 9 • MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Quick. To Waive the Reading, Introduce the First Reading and Approve Ordinance 714, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 405 of the Mounds View Municipal Code Pertaining to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. G. Consideration of Resolution 6005, a Resolution Approving a Settlement Agreement with the Attorney General's Office Regarding the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) Notice of Noncompliance.

He then said that the Resolution attached states that the City at no time intended to willfully disregard the TIF statutes and there is no recognition of blame or wrongdoing on behalf of the City. He further commented that the penalty for failure to identify parcels is that in the future, the City will identify them and will not be allowed to form any new TIF districts for three months.
