These restrictions would not be applied to newly sodded lawns, root feeders (or bubblers) for trees, IdripI irrigation systems, or filling of small wading pools (8 foot diameter or less and less than 1 foot deep). A permit for use of water not covered above could be obtained by request to the Public Works Director and would be subject to conditions as imposed by the Director. There would be no fee for E' the permit; however, the permit could be denied if there were previously approved permits which would result 20,000 gallons of estimated use. The Public Works Director would retain authority to modify these restrictions if conditions of water use and pumping capacity dictated the need. Additional restrictions would take effect as soon as publicized on the City Bulletin Board and on cable television and approved by the mayor and clerk -administrator. I recommend adoption of the attached resolution.

Mounds view City Council April 10, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Six Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, asked for a clarification of the charge for impounding animals. Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the cost of the daily boarding fee would be the same as what is charged to the City. Mr. Frits stated he felt that would be allowing someone else to set rates, which in essence would write a blank check for someone and also give someone the license to steal. Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained there are not many operators for boarding animals in this area, and the city's position is to keep this as close as possible, as it takes time for the Police to take animals to the boarding places, and if these places are too far away, the owners may not retrieve their animals, which would represent an additional cost to the City for both the boarding and destruction of the animals. Mr. Frits stated he could understand that, but felt it should be a fixed rate in the ordinance. Mayor Hankner suggested having a schedule of impounding fees, beginning on the first of the year, which would become part of the ordinance. She added they could work on the language in the next two weeks. Motion/Second: Quick/Wuori to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 460, amending the Municipal Code of Mounds View by repealing Chapter 91, entitled "Animais" and adopting a new Chapter 91, entitled "Animals", and waive the reading. 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Mayor Hankner reported she had received a call from a resident concerning the change on the bus route on Ardan Avenue, who was not aware of the change being proposed by the MTC.

Commission and City Council have been working with a consultant on an update to the City's comprehensive land use plan, and the Planning Commission and Council are working together to rewrite the plan to incorpo- rate the changes and they are recommending a moritorium of any further development along Highway 10 from County Road I to the western border of the City, until the final charges have been made and adopted. He explained Attorney Karney had prepared proposed Ordinance No. 466, which places development restric- tions for that area for 12 months, which could be extended for an additional 6 months if necessary. He explained this would prevent any new development pro- posals as well as the issuance of building permits along that section of Highway 10. Mayor Hankner explained the Planning commission and City Council have been meeting regularly, to review the comp plan. They have focused on the Highway 10 corridor and are looking for a more reasonable way to allow for development.

Councilmember Blanchard had no report Councilmember Wuori reported she had also received e phone call from someone concerned about not knowing of the change of bus route on Arden Avenue. She stated she did not know how to answer this, as the Council does everything possible to notify people, short of walking the blocks and agoing door to door. Mayor Hankner questioned whether the City reserved the right to reopen the lawsuit on the airport, if the issue warrants it, if the MAC or Met Council does not keep their end of the bargain. Attorney Meyers advised the City would not be barred from taking any appropriate action, nor would any individual be barred. Mayor Hankner stated they must be forever watchful „ of what is going on. Mayor Hankner stated she had received letters and phone calls concerning junk in peoples yards and what can be done to remove it. It was suggested to her that she write a letter to the editor of the paper, asking people to be mindful of values. She stated the City needs to be prepared anJ be able to enforce this Sy ordinance.

The market still is at $0 per ton of newsprint and very contracted. Pioneer Paper does not expect to begin accepting newsprint from anyone until June at the earliest and Waldorf Paper is accepting only about 500 tons per month from Super Cycle and a small amount from one other recycler. Today, we are collecting about 1,200 tons per month of newsprint for which we have no viable markets. Unfortunately, we have been forced to burn and landfill some of the newsprint collected in the last couple weeks. We have stored as much as we can on our lot and have arranged for some spot sales. Long-term storage of the newsprint, however, is not an alternative for Super Cycle, either economically or realistically. In the long run, it would only increase the depressed market problem. Ramsey County staff and Super Cycle have been working very closely to fired a solution to the ewspaper market problem. The Ramsey County Staff presented the problem and solution to the Ramsey County Board on April 18 and an interim solution has been worked out. Ramsey County in coordination with Washington County will support the processing of newspaper at Newport and burning at NSP. The Ramsey County staff is to be commended for their support and quick action. Super Cycle will continue to aggressively Pursue newspaper markets along with expanding current outlets for newspaper. We are going to be collecting all material as usual arid are asking the cities to cut back on any public relations planneu during the nest three months. We appreciutrr your patience and willingriess to help us weather Lhe storm. Pleas.: call me if you have any yuest:ons or if I can be of .isnis:,aucc.

MINNESOTA 55113 • (612)646.8172 DATE: April 3, 1989 TO: Jerry Skelly p FROM: Sootsie Anderson RE: Access Transfer of Responsibility On December 18, 1987 NCTV presented cable administrators with an offer to transfer all Access equipment and staff. That offer would discontinue the current required level of financial support, as required by the franchise and replace it with a 45c per subscriber annual support dollars. This comes to about $95,000.00 a ,year versus 04 required support amount s- per the franchise, of approximately S822,000.00 in 1989. In January through June 1988 the cable commission worked to develop an outline of how the North Suburban Access structure should work for the benefit of area residents. That report, a New Structure for Community Television in the North Suburbs, was issued to the cities in August of 1988. Early in the month of November the commission engaged the services of Communication. Technologies, Inc. to perform an inventory of the quantity and physical condition of the public access equipment housed at the Roseville studio and the Edgewood Community Center studio. This aduit produced a concise, item by item evaluation of its current condition, anticipated replacement time and ..oRt. The information gained from chls report will aid in the inevitable replacement schedule and design of new equipment. As a result of these reports, the commission retained George M. Hansen Co., P.A. I to audit the financial records of NCTV to better understand if NCTV was under some sort of financial pressure that would force it to ask for a modification of its financial obligations to support community television.

Additionally, the report showed that NCTV had under supportetd community television for 1987 and 1988. With chis additismal information at hand, the commission appointed a negotiating committee. This committee met for the first time in December 1988 and by mid January 1989 was ready to present NCTV with a response to the original proposal. On February 1, 1989 the committee met with Mr. Johr Eddy of NCTV to discuss the proposal. At that time NCTV agreed to respond within a few days. To this date. no response has been received. During this period, NCTV announced that all its holdings were "up for sale". After about 6 weeks, NCTV ties announced that it has sold the Northwest system,Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Osseo, P.obbinsdale, etc. The North Central systems were to be withdrawn from the market.
