<br /> <br />Tony Presiado, 8217 Long Lake Road, addressed the Council regarding the abatement process. He supported the community being a part of the solution versus being part of the problem. He <br /> believed it was in poor taste that the Council supported abating a property in Mounds View because this came at a cost and could force a homeowner out of their home. He noted he spoke <br /> with Jeremiah about the assistance he could provide with this situation and noted he never heard back from Jeremiah or Don. He supported residents of Mounds View being a part of the <br /> solution going forward. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom thanked all of the members of the community that showed up to help with the abatement work. He explained he also thanked the regional manager at Ace Solid Waste for donating <br /> a dumpster to assist the City with the cleanup efforts. He explained Ace may be willing to donate another dumpster to assist with the cleanup of this property. <br /> <br />8.
