Mounds View City Council January 12, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />MS. Hammond asked whose responsibility it is to keep the back gate free of snow. <br />Mayor Linke directed Staff to look into snow removal at the back gate to determine whether it is <br />the responsibility of the park or the City. <br />Ms. Hammond expressed concern that the back gate that is supposed to be the secondary <br />emergency access is locked and has no snow removal. <br />David Jahnke of 8428 Eastwood Road asked how residents can keep track of the loans given to <br />the golf course. <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated the loans are listed in the City's annual financial reports and <br />the funds come partly from the water fund and partly from the vehicle and special projects fund. <br />He further commented that there is no secret to the loans and last year the total was just over <br />$1,000,000 and he anticipates the results to be similar this year as to 2002, which means there <br />would need to be an additional loan to the golf course. <br />Mr. Jahnke thanked Staff for the information and said he wanted to know where to find the <br />information. He then said that he is concerned that the course cannot even break even with the <br />billboards and asked Council to look into it. <br />Eric of 3038 Ardmore Avenue indicated that the curve from Program Avenue to H2 where <br />the speed limit is 20 m.p.h. is an issue because there have been numerous times where people hit <br />the wall. He then asked if they could get a guardrail and said that right now there is plywood <br />patching the hole from the last time a vehicle hit it. He also indicated he is concerned with <br />35Wsouthbound because of the potential issue with vehicles hitting the sound wall. <br />Mayor Linke indicated that MNDOT may not agree to a guardrail but said the City would look <br />into whether anything could be done. <br />6.
