MS (Johnson- Hodges) to grant issuance of the liquor license subject to obtaining
good references and background check on Mr. Bell.
Councilman Baumgartner stated that through the presentation of Mounds View
Shopping Center Mr. Paster expressed ideas about having art fairs, and other
civic affairs in the mall. There is a safety point to consider when there are
children in the area.
Mr. Paster said liquor is a part of our life as far as having promotions in the
center. He said he has a background of managing six other shopping centers,
those centers also have liquor stores where children are around. Every one
of his centers is community oriented, and he still intends to have civic affairs,
junior high art programs. He said the liquor store would not have displays in the
mall. He said the Northtown Center is active in civic affairs, and they have a
liquor store. He said Mounds View Square is one of the finest shopping centers
in the Twin City area and because of Rice Creek Watershed, the Highway Department
and Planning Commission cooperation, they have the best utilization of the site
and therefore have to give the ultimate consumer the product they want.
Mr. Bell said he would be the manager of the store himself and would be willing
to supply Council with any information personal or otherwise they request.
Mr. Paster said this was a very desired location and had in fact chosen Mr. Bell
from 15 applicants who wished to establish a liquor store in the shopping center.

Councilman Shelquist requested that the agenda include whether the license
applications are new or renewals.
Administrator Achen presented proposed revision of the floor plan for the police
department in the new city hall. The plans call for drywall type construction
5/8 chipboard, soundproofing in between them at a cost of $562.00 which is for
mechanical and electrical but doesn't include altering the brick facing. We would
either have to have brick facing altered or drywall construction angled out to
widen the chief and juvenile offices one foot. A change order regarding radiant
heating in the two stairwells which the architect recommends removing was discussed.
