Mr. Gum asked if the basement is subject for a lawsuit as of right
now. Atty Meyers answered that we had to spend extra money to
make it useable and costs of making the basement useable in the
future, as well as what might deter a willing buyer and a willing
seller. We have a useable basement only as long as everything
is working.
Mayor Johnson asked if the City of Mounds View should be concerned
about sprinkling its parks with an automatic sprinkler. Mr. Gum
stated that nothing is more miserable than to try to put other
utilities or improvements in when you have an automatic sprinkler
already installed.
Robert Bruflodt asked if water from the sump pump could not be
used to sprinkle. Mayor Johnson replied that it is too much
water for the basement but not enough for sprinkling. Councilman
Baumgartner stated that the sprinkling of the city hall park would
also include the two ball fields. The sprinkling heads would be
removeable. Mr. Ziebarth asked, regarding #4, does this have
higher priority than the sprinkling of city hall and is there a
need? Councilman Pickar replied that it has been in the development
stage for a long time. There is not a ball field or a skating
rink at Greenfield Park and they are so far behind the other
parks, this is the place to start a sprinklingsystem.
