IRMLO <br />!IM,.AKI <br />Mounds View City Council March 24, 1986 <br />Regular Meeting Page Five <br />------------------------------------------------------------ <br />Councilmember Hankner stated they must <br />first determine whether a movement of 2500' <br />would have any adverse affect on the City, <br />which they should be able to determine through <br />the EIS. <br />Alice Frits asked when the meeting with MAC was held, <br />how long it lasted, and what will happen with the run- <br />way that is torn up. <br />Councilmember Hankner replied the meeting was an <br />executive session, attended by the previously <br />appointed members of the Council. She added the City <br />does not know yet what MAC will be doing with the run- <br />way pavement that is torn up. <br />Mayor Linke stated the meeting was held on March 13 <br />at the State Capital, and lasted approximately one hour. <br />Duane McCarty stated many meetings were held before the <br />lawsuit with MAC, but that no progress was made at that <br />time. <br />Mayor Links read a letter the City had sent requesting <br />the EIS amendment. <br />Councilmember Hankner stated she also does not like the <br />format of the agenda sessions, in that the puboic does <br />not attend them and then is not informed. Sha stated <br />she would prefer having regular meetings throughout <br />the month rnd foregoing the age.ida sessions. <br />Mayor Linke states he feels the agenda sessions serve <br />a purpose, and he has had input from citizens, stating <br />they prefer to deal with the Council on a more informal <br />basis at agenda ;sessions, rather than at the formal <br />meetings. <br />Councilmember Haake stated she could agree that many <br />people are more comfortable in talking to the Council <br />at agenda sessions, but the public in general does not <br />turn out for them. She added she has no problem with <br />the regular meetings lasting until 11 PM or midnight, <br />if necessary, to cover all the business. <br />Mayor Linke asked that the people who are last on the <br />agenda be remembered, as they do not want to wait <br />until after midnight to be heard, and the Council is <br />not fresh at that late hour. <br />Councilmember Hankner suggested onsidering going to <br />four regular meetings a month, which should alleviate <br />the late hour yet still allow the citizens to be <br />informed. <br />Councilmember Haake stated she agreed that the solution <br />may be to �n four ren^'• -p etings per rr, 'h. <br />
