Mounds View City Council August 23, 2004 Regular Meeting Page 8 • Council Member Quick asked where the money is coming from, and Public Works Director Lee stated it is coming from the park dedication funds. Council Member Quick asked if that fund was used for anything besides parks, and Public Works Director Lee stated that parks is the only thing it is used for. Council Member Marty asked what source of income they had for the park dedication funds. Public Works Director Lee stated that with Mounds View being built out, there is not a whole lot of income coming from it. Council Member Marty asked once that's exhausted, what options did they have. Public Works Director Lee stated that they would then not have any other sources. Mayor Linke stated that if they don't keep the buildings up, there won't be any buildings and no place for the kids to go. MOTION/SECOND. Gunn/Quick. To approve Resolution 6333 Authorizing the Publication of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Work Associated with the Preparation of a Site Plan, Construction Plans, and Specifications for the Groveland Park Building Replacement Project. • Council Member Stigney stated he has concerns about the amount of money to be expended on this building as well. He stated that this is just an RFP, so they didn't know what the final dollars would be, and once they find out the dollars, if it is still Park and Recreation's recommendation, they can address it at that time. Council Member Gunn stated that this is the result of the Council telling them that they aren't happy with spending that amount of money on the building that they have over at Hillview, and that they needed to go back out and look at it. Council Member Quick asked whether the one on Hillview was approved by the City Council, and Council Member Gunn stated that it was. Ayes-4 Nays-1(Marty) Motion carried. 10.
