Mounds View City Council March 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 3 Public Works Director Lee provided an overview of the proposed Street Maintenance Project for 2008, noting it is entirely aseal-coating project. Valerie Amundson of 3048 Wooddale Drive noted that there are some fairly new streets being proposed for seal coating, and she thought that seal coating was done only every 6 years. Director Lee indicated that H2 was constructed in 2002 so that is 6 years old and, the other is only 4 years old. However, the parking lots are way over due so they are being lumped all together for one seal coat project. He further explained that this would be the last seal coat until the new streets to be constructed reach six years of age. Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Marty closed the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. Council Member Flaherty asked for cost share information on the two joint projects with Spring Lake Park. Director Lee provided an explanation of the cost sharing with Spring Lake Park. Mayor Marty said that he thought that the parking lot at City Hall has been seal coated before. Council Member Flaherty said that he thought it was scheduled a year or two ago to seal coat the City Hall parking lot, but that was postponed. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull.
