Admin. Achen stated that the City Attorney is checking to see if it
is necessary for the Council to canvass the votes after the election. It
has been the general practice for the Council to meet and canvass the
votes, but Admin. Achen did not see anything in the State Statutes that
requires this. Admin. Achen stated that there is a meeting on Thursday
anyway at 7:00 p.m. Councilmember Rowley stated that she will be about
30 minutes late. Admin. Achen stated that they would be counting the
ballots in the Council Chambers and suggested that as many Council members
as can should attend.
MSP (Pickar- Baumgartner) that the Council have a special meeting on Thursday
night, September 16, to canvass the ballots if required by law. 4 ayes
ATTORNEY'S REPORT. Atty. Meyers stated that he received a petition to
extend Knollwood Drive south of Ardan Avenue. The petition has a number
of signatures, but he does not know if they qualify as 35% of the owners
for a public improvement hearing.
Eng. Hubbard stated that only three of those people would be assessed
by the extension of Knollwood so they need four more names on the petition.
If the Council is interested in doing this on their own, maybe they should
get a feasibility study.
Atty. Meyers stated that since the petition does not have 35% on it, the
Council does not have to set a public hearing. Councilmember Baumgartner
asked if the Council could return the petition to Mr. Payne and ask him
to get 35% of the people to sign the petition. Atty. Meyers stated that
this could be done.
MAYOR PICKAR'S REPORT. Mayor Pickar stated he received a letter from the
League of Women Voters of Mounds View and reviewed it for the Council.
Mayor Pickar stated the League should be commended for the many hours
they put in and for the fine work they did with the registration program.
Councilmember Hodges suggested that the Mayor send them a thank you note.
Admin. Achen stated he had sent a letter about two weeks ago.
Mayor Pickar and Councilmember Rowley reviewed the Lakeside Park meeting.
The budget was mentioned but Spring Lake Park had not done anything with
it yet. More damage had been done to the building but the girls who
wrote their names on it will repaint the building this fall under the
supervision of their parents. Mayor Pickar questioned if there would be a
water bill. Admin. Achen stated that it is such a small amount of water
there is no reason to bring it up. The water is not used for flooding
or sprinkling. Mayor Pickar stated that the only major item discussed
was the winter skating program. It was suggested that the free skating
rink be made larger, they get hockey boards, have music for skating and
do advertising.
