CITIZEN COMMENTS AND REQUESTS
Charles Wilken, 2283 Knoll Dr. stated that he would like some areas
cleared on the storm sewer project and stated that he did not feel
the problem was as bad as some people were claiming. He stated that
Mayor Pickar had stated at the public hearing that he had had water
in his basement, and that he did not feel it was possible for the
Mayor to have had water at any time since he was a neighbor of the
mayors and had never had trouble.
Administrator Achen replied that he did not recall Mayor Pickar stating
that he had personally had a water problem.
Paul Pashiban, of Rainbow Lane stated that he felt the letter the City
had sent to the residents was very informative but that he still had
questions, such as how many people were adversely affected by the
water and could those problems be alleviated in some other way, on an
individual basis, and if any industries other than the airport were
seeking to locate in Mounds View that would help the tax situation,
and if the existing apartment complexes had contributed to the problem
or reduced the tax load, and suggested that perhaps the surrounding
communities could be benefited by the project and help pay for it.
Mr. Pashiban also stated that he would like to see a vote on the issue,
with a six month moritorium so that the citizens would have time to
study the issue.
