Motion Carried
Debbie Jones, 7405 Parkview Drive, expressed dis-
satisfaction to the Council concerning plantings
that were put in around the path at Silver View
Park. She explained she had been present at the
agenda session last week where a memo was reviewed
but copies not given out. concerning the placement
of plantings. It was stated the residents were to
have input into the placement. However, she received
a certified letter from Rick Wriskey last Thursday,
upon arriving home at the end of the days stating he
could be contacted Tuesdays or Thursdays only. -Her
first opportunity to reach him would then be
tomorrow, September 12, but she arrived home today
to find the plantings already in, and they are not
where she wants them by her property. She stated
the placement of the plantings actually directs
• people through her property, and they are only 16"
from the property line whereas she has been told by
a landscape architect they should be 2-3'~ to allow
for growth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mayor Hankner apologized, stating she wasn't aware the
plantings were going in so soon.
Park Director Saarion stated the residents could re-
spond at any time. The Forester was given the order
to go ahead last Tuesday.
Ms. Jones noted the letter was dated August 29, but
not postmarked until September 6, which is very
deceptive.
Ms. Saarion stated that was in error, and while the
letter was written for the agenda session, the date
should have been updated before it was set out.
Carol Golden, no address given, stated she agreed
with Ms. Jones comments, and she was also very
upset to find the plantings had already gone in.
Mayor Hankner stated the Council would discuss the
situation with Staff, and she directed Ms. Saarion
to call Mr. Wriskey tomorrow and make him aware of
the problem. A resolution should be found and Mr.
Wriskey should come in to the agenda session next
week to meet with the Council.
• MotiorySecond: Quick/Paone to approve the consent
agenda, as presented, and waive the reading of
the resolutions.

Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained this had been
discussed at the last agenda session. The County
and Staff have discussed methods of responding to
the six items stipulated by the Council in their
resolution.
Mayor Hankner .explained the Council's position has
not changed since the motion was adopted in June,
and resolutions have been received from the County
in support of the items that Mounds View has raised.
The County has stated they will be able to construct
the four lanes within the existing right of way.
The action required by the Council is
on the study report completed by the
the contingencies that were discussed
weeks ago. She noted the County owns
• already, so the City cannot stop them

to sign the County Road J reconstruction study report

Vince Meyers explained he needs a temporary okay
from the Council to raise racing pigeons in the
City. He is currently living in Mounds View and is
buying a home in the City. He explained there are
eight clubs in the Twin City area and reviewed the
raising and racing of pigeons. He noted other areas
have changed their laws to support this sport, and
he gave a copy of recent legislation in Illinois to
the Clerk/Administrator.
Mayor Hankner explained the City ordinance governing
this area has just been revised, and they did not
anticipate pigeons would be requested at the time
it was done.
• Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the ordinance
currently allows two animals. The Council would
have the option of amending the Code to allow the
raising of more than two animals, and would possibly
require the approval of abutting property owners.
Attorney Karney stated if changes are made, the
abutting property owners should be allowed to give
their input. He added they should look at fowl in
general, not. just pigeons. He also advised the
Council is just considering a change and they should
give na hint if the ordinance might be changed,
as that could result in legal liabilities. If they
consider the matter further, a formal public hearing
would be held.
Mr. Meyers stated he had approval of all but one
property owner in the area.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley noted the City has
received one phone call and one letter against
this. He also noted that if the Council adopts an
ordinance change, the Charter allows for a refer-
endum, and this could ultimately be voted down
by the residents.
• Mayor Hankner explained the Council must listen
to the majority of the people, and they are looking
at three months minimum for an ordinance change,
with no guarantees.

for the construction of the shelter and nothing
else. He added he would not be voting on the
motion, as he is a member of the Lions Club.

plan from the task force appointed by the Council,

cations, let it out for bids, and give them the
