Councilmember Baumgartner asked who would make the determination
about which type of tie down system is acceptable for a particular
soil. Mr. Hauck stated that the soil condition, which is probably
the same throughout Mounds View, is sand. Mr. Hauck explained that
if the park has been in place for some time so the soil is relatively
undisturbed, most of the anchors will work quite well. He then
explained how the expanding plate auger works.
Councilmember Baumgartner stated that there will probably be a
problem with the people buying the lower priced auger whether it
works in this soil or not. Mr. Hauck stated that test data has
been sumbitted on which anchors will work in certain soils.
Councilmember Baumgartner suggested that this information be
given to the home owner before he buys the anchors. Mr. Hauck
told the Council about a test they ran on an auger type of support.
Mayor Pickar thanked Mr. Hauck for attending the meeting and stated
he hoped the State will get involved in giving the City more
authority with mobile homes.
Mr. Hauck stated that the State Board of Health licenses mobile
homes and his department just registers installers. He stated
the legislature will probably look at this after January 1, 1977.
Administrator Achen thanked Mr. Hauck for responding on such short
notice.
REVIEW COUNCIL WORK PROGRAM AND GOALS
Mayor Pickar stated he talked about this with Admin. Achen since
it has been a while since the Council looked at long range goals.
Mayor Pickar reviewed the following suggestions to keep in mind:
1. Planing District 2 formal street plan and
improvement project.
2. Long range capital improvements program
3. Water and sewer rate study
4. Revise Chapter 6, Personnel, and bring into
compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity
Act (affirmative action plan) and Minnesota
Fair Labor Standards Act.
5. Storm water drainage assessment policy
6. Debt management plan including update of 1973
Ehlers debt study
7. Update civil defense Emergency Plan
Mayor Pickar stated that the long range capital improvements program
needs to be reviewed again and updated. Mayor Pickar stated that
these are some of the items he hoped to get involved in. Unless
the Council establishes some criteria for long range plans they
just go from month to month. Mayor Pickar said he would like some
input from the public and would appreciate any comments.
