Mounds View City Council June 9, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />~1 <br />2 Council Member Stigney indicated he understood why Mr. Hall did not want to contact her but <br />3 asked if he had contacted Mr. Ericson who is her boss. <br />5 Mr. Hall indicated he spoke with Mr. Ericson but was told that this is Kathy's job and was to get <br />6 back to him with more information and he has not done that. <br />8 Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated there are building code issues and fire code issues. <br />9 He then indicated that Mr. Hall was made aware of the proper procedure for appealing building <br />1o code issues and fire code issues but the response was that he did not feel he would be given a fair <br />11 shake at that hearing. He further commented that the fire code issues are out of the City's hands. <br />12 <br />13 Council Member Marty indicated that the City needs to find out what is going on and determine <br />14 what the actual requirements are. <br />15 <br />16 Mayor Linke indicated that Mr. Hall called him last week to discuss it and he met with him at the <br />17 Mermaid and provided the information to him. He then indicated he is doing some research and <br />18 will continue working on it. <br />19 <br />20 Mr. Hall also asked for clarification on how often and for how long the tent can be used because <br />he is receiving mixed information from Kathy. He then said that it seems that Kathy is <br />interpreting the Code to the most severe complicated way possible for him and he does not feel <br />23 that is good for the City or for him. <br />24 <br />25 Mayor Linke indicated that he and Mr. Ericson would work on the matter. <br />26 <br />27 David Jahnke of 8428 Eastwood Road indicated he has the book, Death of Common Sense at <br />28 home and suggested someone maybe could use it. He then said that something should be done <br />29 about that situation and moved on to comment that with all the budget cuts from the state he has <br />3o not seen this City make any attempts at cutting or looking at ways to reduce the budget. <br />31 <br />32 Mayor Linke indicated that Council has not worked on next years budget. <br />33 <br />34 Mr. Jahnke indicated he watches the work sessions and has seen nothing yet for cutting and, at <br />35 the same time, raises were given. He then said that other cities are freezing wages and making <br />36 cuts and he sees this City doing nothing to deal with the budget issues before it. <br />37 <br />38 Mr. Jahnke asked if anyone had seen what New Brighton did because they have made some <br />39 drastic moves in an attempt to make up their budget deficit. <br />40 <br />41 6.
