Mounds View City Council March 10, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />• Council Member Stigney asked for the auction information received last year on the used <br />vehicles that were sold. Chief Sommer indicated that the vehicles are brought to the auction in <br />Arden Hills and they usually bring a very good price. He then said he could provide the auction <br />information to Council. <br />Council Member Stigney asked how many vehicles are in the fleet. Chief Sommer indicated that <br />there are 11 total vehicles and 9 are squads. <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that the City used to replace one vehicle one year, and two the <br />next and he is wondering why the process has been changed. <br />Chief Sommer indicated that the type of use that these vehicles go through justifies replacing <br />them every five years. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7238 <br />Approving the Purchase of MVPD Squad Cars. <br />Council Member Stigney asked for the information on the vehicles when they are sent to auction. <br />Mayor Marty commented that it would cost less to get the cars two-toned rather than repainting <br />them later. <br />Chief Sommer indicated that the officers were in favor of the two-toned vehicles. <br />Mayor Marty asked if Council was interested in going with two-tone cars. <br />Council decided not to do so at this time. <br />Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />C. Resolution 7237 Authorizing Execution of a Zero Dollar Permit for the <br />Trunk Highway 10 Noise Wall Project <br />Public Works Director Lee provided information on the noise wall project for Council. He then <br />noted that Mn/DOT is looking at awarding the contract on May 16, 2008 with construction <br />beginning in June. <br />Council Member Mueller asked if there should be any concern that Mn/DOT would take the land <br />and use it for an additional lane. Director Lee indicated that it does not seem that would be <br />feasible. He then said that there are already three lanes in this location and it is further to the east <br />where they plan to add an additional lane. <br />Council member Mueller asked whether Attorney Riggs reviewed the permit documentation. <br />Interim Clerk Administrator Ericson noted that Attorney Riggs has reviewed this. <br />Mayor Marty indicated that it may take time to transfer land in Arden Park, but, it is of little use <br />to Mn/DOT because it is on the wrong side of the wall that they have already constructed. He <br />• then asked that Staff request that a transfer of the Arden Park property be done. <br />
