Mounds View City Council November 9, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br />stated instructions are included on the form for the person submitting the request. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller noted that the list of organizations should show the senior housing <br />facilities in parentheses so it is clear they are examples. Economic Development Specialist <br />Steinmetz stated that is a good suggestion and she will make that clarification. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller asked how staff would respond to an applicant if the advertisement <br />cannot be accommodated. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated Receptionist <br />Mary Springer has offered to handle that communication in a timely manner. Community <br />Development Director Roberts stated the applicant would either be called or sent an e-mail. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked if the League of Minnesota Cities or other cities were contacted <br />for suggestions. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated City staff prepared this <br />document on its own without examples. Council Member Stigney stated the City pays League <br />dues so it would be good to work with them. He asked about repeat requests and if there is a <br />time frame for priority. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated that staff had not <br />discussed repeat requests. Council Member Stigney asked if senior housing can advertise a sale <br />or vacancy. Economic Development Specialist Steinmetz stated that the City has advertised bake <br />sales in the past but the City should not advertise vacancies. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7524, <br />Approving Mounds View Public Announcement Policy. <br /> <br />Council Member Stigney asked staff to touch base with the League and other entities to assure <br />nothing is missed in this policy. Council Member Mueller concurred and noted that, perhaps, the <br />City’s electronic sign should be used only for City events. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty stated Council Member Stigney makes a good point that advertisements for <br />senior housing vacancies should not be allowed. He agreed with the need for a policy, which is a <br />working document. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />G. Resolution 7525, A Resolution in Support of Community Access Legislation <br />(HR 3745) <br /> <br />Clerk-Administrator Ericson reviewed that at the November Work Session, Executive Director of <br />NSCC/CTV Cor Wilson and Cable Committee Chair Barbara Hakke made a presentation <br />regarding the Community Access Preservation Act (CAP) being introduced in Congress. He <br />explained that the draft resolution in support of CAP would preserve the right and opportunity <br />for communities to enter into agreements with cable providers to have programming available. It <br />would also maintain that control at the local level rather than being dictated by the State or other <br />entity. Following discussion, it had been the Council’s consensus to pass a resolution of support <br />for the CAP and if adopted, it will be forwarded to the City’s legislative representatives. <br />
