Director Johnson reported he had appeared before
the Unencumbered Construction Funds Subcommittee
on August 17 to explain why Mounds View had not
spent it's MSA construction money. He explained
that if the City does not use any of the money,
the 1984 MSA account will be reduced approximately
$25,000, and if nothing is done in 1985, the fund
will be reduced at least $50,000. He explained
that in order to prevent any reduction, a project
of at least $60,000 needs :o be awarded in 1983,
which could be achieved by resurfacing song of
the streets in the City.
Director Johnson stated he has inspected the streets
in question and determined that they are resurfacable,
but that the engineer from the central office does
not agree, and feels the streets should be torn up
and rebuilt. Director Johnson asked for authoriza-
tion from the Council to obtain an expert opinion.
with the cost to be approximately $2,000, to be
funded from the revenue sharing account for street
maintenance study. He added he hopes to have a
proposal ready for the Council by their September

teristics due to variances in hydrologic cycles and
existing man -made features, and recommend to the

conjunction with the Miller Industrial Park, with the
cost not to exceed $5,000, with the funds to come
from the SF4M fund.

There was discussion among the Council as to the
intent of the SWM fund, anti Councilmember Linke
pointed out that the money in the SWM funds was
from developers such as Mr. Miller, and not the
general taxpayer. It was felt that the hiring
of a consultant would be a justifiable use of
the funds, considering the time constraints that
are involved.

Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained that Tammy
Turnacliff, the present receptionist, graduated
this past June, and since the City does not wish
to make her position permanent, it is felt that
it would be in her best interests, and that of
the City's, to terminate her employment with
the City and hire another high school student
part -time.
Motion /Second: Hankner /Doty to authorize Staff to
notify Tammy Turnacliff of the decision to terminate
her employment on September 9, 1983 due to the stated
intent of the position to provide training under
the Office Education Program, and authorize the
hiring of Michelle Bednorz as the part -time

Director Johnson reported that the new treatment
equipment in Wells #5 and #6 was put into opera-
tion on August 19 and seems to be working well.

which is part of the overall trend of tightening
up.
Councilmember Doty stated that due to the problems 21. Reports of
the Mary Anderson development is running into Councilmembers
with the new requirement for sprinklers in their
townhouses, such as the services in the street
not being adequate, and the buildings not being
designed with sprinklers in mind, the City should
take into consideration excluding this type of
structure from the ordinance. He pointed out
that the type of construction Mary Anderson is
doing is much better than what is normally used.
He asked Attorney Meyers to do some investigating
into changing the ordinance and making some type
of adjustment.
Attorney Meyers replied that he was already directed
by Staff to research the question, and he has met
with Mary Anderson. He added that he has asked for
an interpretation from the State Building Official
office. He pointed out the code refers specifically
to apartments, hotels and motels. He stated he will
continue to research the problem, and that it may
require a repeal of the code.

Councilmember Hankner reported she had received some
calls from residents on the north side of the City,
concerned with access to Silver View Park, and spe-
cifically concerned with crossing Highway 10.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied that if side-
walks were installed along County Road I, there
would be a good opportunity to have "walk" and
"don't walk" signals installed at the intersection
of Highway 10 and County Road I. He added that
another option would be an overhead crosswalk.
Director Johnson advised that an overhead crosswalk
would be extremely costly, and other cities had
found that the children still do not use them, but
rather cut across the highway, even climbing fences
to do so.
Councilmember Hankner reported she will be attending
the goal setting seminar on August 31 and September 1,
and that on September 8 she will be attending a
Community Development Block Grant Workshop, and that
on September 29 she will be attending the League of
Minnesota Cities regional meeting.
Acting Mayor Blanchard reported that there had been
considerable discussion at the Planning Commission
meeting regarding when a conditional use permit is
granted for a building in the flood plain and
wetland, as to what type of maintenance is to be done.
Director Johnson replied that there are proposals
in the review process now for which the code does
not address routine maintenance.
Attorney Meyers advised that the restrictions be
set out in the development agreement.
Acting Mayor Blanchard reported the Planning
Commission had authorized Staff to send a letter
to Northeast Marine regarding their used car
sales, and that Staff will be checking up on
others who are selling cars in the City, such
as at Highway 10 and Groveland Road, and Red
Oak Drive and Highway 10, on the vacant lot,
and they should notify them that it is not
allowed.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley advised that the first
meeting with Fire Chief Fagerstrom will be at
2 PM on August 23, and that the Staff's of the
three cities seem to be united, and he urged the
Councilmembers to lobby the other Councils for
their support.
