Mounds View City Council May 22, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br />• wetland. Mayor Marty read the requirements for that inspection and stated he is encouraged to <br />see it will be monitored so closely. <br />Councilmember Thomas stated that sometimes she agrees with Councilmember Stigney on TIF <br />use and sometimes she does not. She stated this project is needed because of the company's <br />growth and these are small alterations to a very good neighbor of Mounds View that allows the <br />entire company to stay and expand in Mounds View. She stated she enjoys having SYSCO in <br />Mounds View and believes they have been a good partner. <br />Mayor Marty stated his agreement, noting SYSCO has paid off their entire TIF note and the City <br />considering assisting them with $300,000, which is significant to SYSCO. He noted that last <br />year, the City assisted amulti-billion dollar company with $22.9 million in TIF. He stated <br />SYSCO is a good neighbor and business that is growing in Mounds View and helping them out <br />in this respect is totally justifiable. <br />Councilmember Stigney stated the willows and cottonwood trees are good for wetlands and the <br />site is being altered to put in a driveway. Another concern is that SYSCO may have to further <br />impact the wetland and mitigate off site. Councilmember Stigney stated he believes SYSCO can <br />afford to pay the $300,000 for this project and if not, maybe they should not be in business. He <br />noted that SYSCO is receiving money from two billboards and stated he cannot justify TIF for <br />this project. <br />• Ayes - 3 Nays - 1 (Stigney) Motion carried. <br />(2) Public Hearing, Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 761, an <br />Ordinance Rezoning Three Acres of Land Associated with the <br />SYSCO Project (ROLL CALL VOTE) <br />MOTION/SECOND: THOMAS/MARTY.
