Victor Loeffler, 5135 Greenwood Drive, stated he has
two lots up for sale at 81st and Laport, and he has
just found out they are part of the wetland
area, and asked what their status was.
Director Johnson explained that he had spoken with
Mr. and Mrs. Loeffler, and had explained the procedure
for obtaining a building permit, and getting a wetland
alteration permit. He also explained the problem
with the two lots, stating that the street is also
within the wetland, and the two lots are controlled
by both the flood plain and wetlands ordinances.
Attorney Meyers stated that Mr. Loeffler would have
to go through the process of applying for a permit,
and that there are several ordinances that regulate
the use of this land. He also advised that if a
permit cannot be issued, there is no provision for
reimbursement by the City.

applied for two grants, and has just been informed
that she needs an official government sponsor. She
explained the purpose of the two grants and stated
that she does have a letter of endorsement from the
Youth Service Bureau, which she knows the City works
with. Ms. Seidenkranz emphasized that she does not
need any money from the City, just their sponsorship.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley advised that the school
district will take care of all the details, financial
records, and so forth, and the City's only obligation
would be to be the official sponsor. Ms. Seidenkranz
added that the City's responsibility would be to give
it's endorsement, and then, if the grants were forth-
coming, the City would receive the checks and turn
them over to the school district. She provided the
Council with copies of the grant applications, for
their review.
Councilmember Hankner stated that she has worked with
Ms. Seidenkranz, and feels she does an excellent job.
She stated that she would have no problem in sponsoring
the grant application.
Mayor Me.arty expressed concern with not knowing if any
funding would be available after the year was up, to
continue any programs that were started, and to continue
the salary of the two assistants who are to be hired.
Councilmember Hankner replied that that is always the
case with federal grants, that there is no guarantee
they will be continued.
Ms. Seidenkranz explained that none of the proposed
programs are new, and the assistants would help her
carry out existing programs.
Mayor McCarty questioned if the Youth Service Bureau
would step in at the end of the year, if further
funding was not available. Ms. Seidenkranz replied
that her job is short term, in that she provides
crisis intervention counseling, and refers anyone
on to the Youth Service Bureau who needs further
help.
Motion /Second: McCarty /Hankner to approve the City
of Mounds View as the sponsoring government unit for
the grant applications from the State of Minnesota,
for $1,000 and $33,000, naming Carol Seidenkranz as
the contact person at the Edgewood Community

regarding Item C, she and her husband are in opposition

the block are up for sale, and she does not wart her
taxes raised again by paying for the power for another
street light. She added that she already has the phone
box and electrical box and fire hydrant in her yard
