CITIZEN COMMENTS AND REQUESTS
Philip Johnson, 7474 Groveland Road, requested that the City
put up two street lights, one at the intersection of Silver Lake
Road and Bronson Drive and one at the intersection of Bronson Drive
and Groveland Road, since those areas are not presently lit by
street lights. Mr. Johnson presented a petition from area residents.
Eng. Hubbard stated that NSP is compiling a study of all street lights
in the City and he suggested that any action be postponed until the
study was completed. Mr. Johnson asked if the two intersections he
had mentioned would receive any extra consideration. Mayor Pickar
replied that they might, but he would have to wait until the NSP
study was released before taking any action.
Margaret Mountin, 8287 Red Oak Drive, stated that she had recently
attended a public participation meeting on state transportation plan-
ning and that the City of Mounds View had not participated and ques-
tioned the Council on its absence. She brought along pamphlets which
were distributed at the meeting and Mayor Pickar stated he did not
recall receiving any booklets in the mail on the meeting. A May 9
deadline has been established for cataloging all the input and ideas
for transportation planning. Admin. Achen stated that MNDOT was
duplicating to some extent what the Metro Council has been working
on, and the City is active with the Metro Council.
Councilmember Hodges recognized Ronald Olson, President of the
Mounds View Lions Club, present at the City Council meeting and
requested that the Council consider the request by the Lions Club
for permission to conduct a used car flea market and advertise such
on a single sign, as they did last year. Last year the Council
limited the market to Saturdays from the hours of 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
It was stipulated that all cars were to be removed from the Launch-
ing Pad parking lot no later than 6:00 PM each day of the sale and
the display of six small BURMA SHAVE TYPE signs were authorized for
the day of the sale only.
