Mounds View City Council August 28, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 19 <br /> <br />to complete all of the projects. He stated staff is seeking Council direction and/or approval for <br />these projects. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomason/Marty. To Authorize staff to pursue the purchase of equipment <br />for the Woodcrest Park at a cost of approximately $12,000 to $18,000 (which includes structure, <br />border and surrounding fill), to replace the Hillview hockey boards prior to the 2000-2001 winter <br />season at a cost of approximately $21,400.00 (which includes new posts, boards and fencing); <br />and to authorize the resurfacing of the Hillview rink pavement at a cost of approximately <br />$10,000 with funding to be from the Park Dedication Fund. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked about the wetland area at Woodcrest and how it was to be <br />constructed. Acting City Manager Ulrich stated it is constructed according to plan and explained <br />how wetlands are restored. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty expressed concern about the park improvements in the north area and <br />whether it would be maintained and used. Acting City Manager Ulrich stated it is on the <br />schedule at least three times a year for rough cut mowing and once the playground equipment is <br />installed, better turf will be established. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked when the play equipment can be put in and when the hockey rink <br />can be started. Acting City Manager Ulrich estimated one to two weeks for the hockey rink and <br />staff would get quotes this week on the purchase of equipment and installation. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Stigney stated the Council took action to only spend interest off the Park Fund, <br />noting this cost is in excess of that amount. He asked if that negates what the Council approved. <br /> <br />Acting City Manager Ulrich stated in a way it does and explained that the Council could place a <br />condition that the interest for next year not be spent. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomason stated after the Council voted to go ahead with the Woodcrest <br />project and not specify the fund, Park and Recreation decided to use the money they had <br />dedicated into the interest bearing account but there as an additional Park Dedication Fund that <br />was not assigned to this interest bearing account. That additional fund was to remain liquid but <br />was inadvertently placed in the interest bearing fund. Council Member Thomason stated that <br />was brought to her attention so she said she would speak to that matter before the Council. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Stigney explained the City is trying to maintain a fixed level in this fund so <br />interest can be used in the future. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin was not present for the vote. <br /> <br />11.
