Mounds View City Council May 12, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated he would hold off but informed Council that the delay would <br />mean the City will have a binder rather than a policy and that means Council will not have policy <br />information and numbers for the budget discussions in August. <br />Council Member Quick suggested directing Staff to insure the bus and the beach in order to <br />ensure that timeframes are met. <br />Mayor Linke indicated he spoke with the Mayor of Spring Lake Park and he had information that <br />only 30 people, on average, use the beach itself and they do not think that few people justifies the <br />costs involved with keeping it open. He further commented that the City of Fridley has over 100 <br />people per day at Moore Lake Beach and they are closing it as a cost saving measure. <br />Council Member Quick asked how much it costs the City for the beach. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that Spring Lake Park is proposing to cut $8,000 from their <br />budget for Lakeside Park but some of that was for things like the Satellite so he estimates a <br />savings of about $7,000 from the beach. <br />Council Member Gunn commented that the beach is often closed due to Swimmer's Itch. <br />Council Member Quick suggested dropping the beach and continuing coverage on the bus. <br />Council Member Stigney asked that the bus be added on the bottom line and tell them it may fall <br />off of the list depending upon the Lions. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated that the timing of the decision would determine whether it <br />was too late to remove the bus from the policy. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn. To Direct Staff to Drop the Insurance on the Beach and <br />Inform Spring Lake Park that Mounds View Agrees to Close the Beach and to Direct Staff to <br />Continue Insurance Coverage on the Bus. <br />Council Member Stigney commented that he feels this is "cart before the horse." <br />Council Member Marty indicated the City may need the bus if it decides to take over the <br />Community Center due to ADA requirements. <br />Ayes - 4 Nays -1(Stigney) Motion carried. <br />8.
