Residents Requests and Comments from the Floor
Robert Engwer, Business Manager of the Mounds View School District, notified the
Council that Red Oak School is overcrowded and School District officials are
seeking a solution to the problem. Probable solutions being discussed are either
a portable or mobile unit similar to a two section mobile home. As yet, the
district has made no decision but will reappear before the Council whenever they
reach an agreement amongst themselves. He added that a task force is presently
researching the long range problem of overcrowding.
William Biem, of P.B.K. Investment Company requested that the assessment placed
on the Mounds View Industrial Park in July 1973 be reapportioned. He stated that
he was out of the country when the hearing was held. Mr. Biem also questioned
the high cost per acre of the assessment.
Attorney Meyers explained under what conditions the Council may reassess improvements
noting also that the appeal time has elapsed.
Clerk Zylla stated that there may be a question of benefit on at least nine acres
of Lot No. 3 since the Ramsey County Open Space Commission feels that nine acres
are wet land and as such possibly only 20% may be filled. He also noted that
Ramsey County's cut -off date for recertification is October 10, 1973.
The Council was advised by Attorney Meyers, in discussing the benefits for the
property if it was reapportioned and additional assessments were later placed on
Lot No. 3, that the test of benefit is increase in market value.
Because of the question of future benefit if new assessments are necessary and a
possible appeal, the Council informed Mr. Biem that the assessment would stand.
MSP (Hodges- Johnson) To recess the regular meeting at 8:35 P.M. 5 Ayes
