Mounds View City Council December 8, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 12 • Director Lee indicated that Staff would review and make a recommendation on the funding. Mayor Linke indicated he had a meeting with the City Administrator and two representatives from the 35W corridor bringing him up to date on what is going on. He then indicated he learned that MNDOT is trying to figure out a way to reconfigure access onto 35W on this end of the City and one of the proposals is to close the access on County Road I and upgrade the one on H putting a frontage road on the arsenal side of the road which concerns him greatly because other than access at Long Lake or Red Oak that would eliminate access to 35 from this part of town. Council Member Marty indicated that is a bad entrance. Mayor Linke indicated the City should not suffer for MNDOT's lack of planning. He then indicated that he would contact the Mayor of Arden Hills to discuss the matter. B. Staff City Administrator Ulrich indicated he would follow up with Arden Hills Staff on the redevelopment of the TCAAP site and how that impacts Mounds View. Finance Director Hansen indicated there was an accident on March 25, 2002 between a city pickup and another vehicle at the light on Edgewood Drive and County Highway 10 and each driver claimed they had the green light. The matter was in dispute through the League of Minnesota Cites trust and the City settled the claim for the cost of the deductible $10,000. He then indicated that the matter has been negotiated between the insurance companies and he has a proposed settlement agreement whereby the City would receive $12,000 dollars and that is the amount of the deductible plus some workers compensation costs. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn. To Approve the Proposed Insurance Settlement. Council Member Stigney commented that the City's deductible was paid. Finance Director Hansen indicated that the settlement is a ruling in the City's favor. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. C. City Attorney City Attorney Riggs indicated that he has been looking into the questions raised at the November 24, 2003 meeting and has been unable to locate the original petition. He then said that once it is determined whether the original number was listed on the petition the interpretation would follow from there. Mayor Linke indicated his concern is that this was done without notification to the public or . Council and, if the Charter Commission could not get the judge to appoint people, Council should have done that and this Council was not notified that there was such an issue.
