Carol Baumgartner reported on the League of Women Voter's study of the proper
spelling of the name Mounds View. She presented examples from newspapers, legal
petitions, business advertisements, and various documents showing conflicting
spelling; sometimes spelled as one word and sometimes two words. She cited
the petition to incorporate the Village of Mounds View which used the two -word
spelling, and she recommended that the Council make a definite decision one
way or the other. Her preference is the two -word spelling.
Mayor Neisen stated that the attorney's opinion is that, based upon the papers
for incorporation, the proper spelling is two words. Mayor Neisen noted that
the word City should now be used in place of Village.
MSP (Hodges- Johnson) To officially adopt the spelling, City of Mounds View,
and to direct the city administrator to change all signs, labels, and seals
on equipment and buildings to so read.
Mayor Neisen read a letter from Mark Achen accepting the position of Clerk -
Administrator.
