Regular Meeting Page Three
City Planner Herman reviewed previous discussions that
had occurred on the possibility of purchasing 8100
Groveland Road, to allow for the future extension of
Knollwood Drive from Ardan Avenue to Sherwood Road.
She stated the Planning Commission has reviewed it and
recommends purchasing the property and holding it
for future development. She also explained the
process of tax increment financing and how it could
be used for the purchase of this property.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated he would advise
against tax increment financing as he felt it would
be a misuse of the funds and an abuse of the law.
Councilmember Hankner pointed out that new laws are
pending on this issue.
City Planner Herman explained tax increment financing
is used in many ways.
Councilmember Hankner stated she would not be in
favor of using tax increment financing as a method of
purchasing this property. She noted the purchase of
the property is the main issue, but without the money
to purchase it, she questioned what could be done.
She added that she is not willing to mortgage too far
0 into the future, or take money from the general fund.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she is opposed to
purchasing the property, as she does not feel it is
up to the City to go into the real estate business,
and the involved property owners do not appear to
want the road, and there are other options available
if the people decide to develop in the future. She
also noted there is a water problem in that area, which
would add to the cost of development. She stated she
is against the City buying the property on a maybe.
Councilmember Wuori stated there is a very long list
of pros and cons, and they must remember good planning
practices, and she questioned whether the City could
afford to do something about purchasing it now anyway.
Councilmember Hankner stated that while the money could
be taken out of the general fund, she does not want to
take it out of there.
Mayor Linke stated a large amount of money was placed in
the fund several years ago, which could possibly be used.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained the funds are
available, however the ordinance adopted at the time of
defesence would prohibit this, and it would require a
4/5 vote to declare an emergency to use the fund for
this.
Mounds View City Council March 28, 1988
Regular Meeting Page Four
Councilmember Quick asked if a loan could be floated
from the sewer and water fund.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied it could, and
would have to be repaid with interest at the time
development occurs. He further explained why the
City is even considering purchasing the property, so
as not to land -lock property that owners may want to
develop in the future.
Councilmember Quick stated he wonders if the residents
in the area know the value of the property that is
currently their back yards.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated that lots of 11,000
square feet are going for anywhere from $20,000 to
$30,000 per lot, depending on how wooded they are.
Mayor Linke stated that whether they would borrow
from another fund or go with tax increment financing,
they would be borrowing from the future, and he has
not made up his mind yet, hoping that there will be
a better option.
Councilmember Quick pointed out that if the property
is bought now, it will cost less than it would later.
Councilmember Hankner stated she has problems with
the options that have been suggested so far for funding.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she would have a problem
with borrowing from the water fund, as it was not
established for this purpose, and the funds would then
be tied up and not available for sewer and water work
which may be necessary within the City.
Motion /Second: Quick /Wuori to table this item and
direct Staff to lay out some financing options to
be discussed, and table until April 11, 1988.

Mayor Linke reported there are now four applications
for the Civil Service Commission, and it is the job of
the Mayor to make a recommendation to fill the vacancy,
and at this point, after reading the applications, he
could now make a recommendation to the Council, or have
