MEMO TC: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL \�
FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATOR/PARK AND RECREATION DIRECTOR
DATE: AUGUST 31, 1989
SUBJECT: AUGUST 11, 1989 LETTER OF DEBORAH JONES, 7405
PARK VIEW DRIVE
At the August 14, 1989 Council Meeting Mayor Hankner
presented the attached letter she had received from
Mrs. Deborah Jones. Staff was directed to distribute copies
Of the letter to Council, which was done, and respond to the
points contained in the letter.
The issue of extending the Silver View Park trail has been
before the City for the past few years and, as you well
know, fought with controversy. In preparing a response,
staff has reviewed City records and drawn upon the
recollection of various individuals involved in the
development of the park and trail. One of the difficulties
we encountered is the fact that in some cases City records
are contradictory and memories have faded. We have made an
honest attempt to accurately reflect the facts.
1. It is true that the Kraus -Anderson or Mary Anderson
Homes salespeople displayed copies of the Saunders and
Thalden prepared Master Plan for the park and that the
i plan showed a bridge at the narrows and no extension
of the trail to the west. What apparently did not come
out during the sales presentation is that it was a plan
prepared in an effort to obtain additional funding for
parks development through LAWCON grants and park bond
referendums. The City did not succeed in obtaining the
LAWCON grant nor were we successful in our attepts to
receive voter approval of bond referendums.
As a result of the City's inability to secure the
necessary capital, the Master Plan for Silver View and
the other City's parks became a guide used by the Park
and Recreation Commission rather than a binding
document, The Commission established the goal of making
use of available park dedication funds to improve the
Parks recognizing that those funds would not be adequate
to accomplish all of the improvements shown in the
Master Plans.
2. On May 27, 1988 an on -site meeting was held with Dan
Boxrud, Council, residents and staff present. The path
route had been staked prior to the meeting and
Mr. Boxrud reviewed the plan, copy attached, he had
prepared.
' 3. Forester Wriskey has not prepared a formal landscaping
�-' Dlan for the trail. Instead, he has discussed a
conceptual plan with them which included a suggestion
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

15. The 1981 Master Plan does not show a path to the west,
but Dan Boxrud's plans indicate that the extension is
feasible.
16. It is true that no cost estimate has been made for the
maintenance of the trail extension. Estimates have been
made for the materials and manpower needed tc constcuct
the extension with those numbers being provided at
various times and not summarized in one report.

Ms. Susan Hankner
Mayor
City of Mound View
2401 Highway 10
Mounds View, MN 55112
Dear Sue:
August 11. 1989
I would like to take this opportunity to summarize some of the events that have led to our
frustration with the Silver View Park path extension.
1. In November 1985, I purchased my home at 7405 Park View Drive. At that time, the
builder briefly discussed the future plans of Silver View Park including a bridge at the
narrows.
2. In the spring of 1988, I met with other residents,
then mayor Jerry Linke,
and
Mary
Saarion at the path site where we expressed our concerns and objections to
the
path
extension. One of our specific objections had been its proximity to our lot line.
We
were
told at that time that before anything was decided, a
plan would be done showing the
exact location of the path. The residents would have
an opportunity to review
the
plan
before any decision was reached.
3.
A meeting was later held with the
forrester where planting
options were discussed. I
was
unable to attend
this meeting, but 1
have been informed that
a plan for the path was
not
available for the
residents to review.
r..
4.
In June 1989, 1
attended a Park
& Recreation meeting
where I was told by the
commission that the
copy of the Silver View Park master
plan blueprint that I had
recently
sera, which
included a bridge
at the narrows and no
path extension, had never
been
approved. We
were told that the
only master plan for
Silver View Park was the
brief
reference in the
1981 Master Plan
book.
Note: The blueprint I had seen was one that had been given to Carol and Steve Golden by
the Mounds View Park Commissioner. The Goldens had requested confirmation prior to
purchasing their home in 1983 that no path would be constructed behind the private
homes. This blueprint was provided to them at that time.
5. My husband, therefore, went to city hall and requested a copy of the master plan done
in 1981 so that we would be aware of the plans that had been approved.
6. However,
after extensive research, we have
found Park &
Recreation Commision and
City Council
meeting minutes which document
the approval
of the Silver View Park
Master Plan.
Park & Recreation Commission
4-23.81
City Council
4-27-81
The dates of
these meetings correspond with the
dates on the
Goldens' blueprint.
7. At the August 7, 1989 City Council meeting, there was no denial by the Park &
Recreation attendees that a master plan exists. Instead, they commented that it is
continually being updated and changed. My interpretation of this is that there is a
master plan, but that the Park & Recreation Commission has decided not to follow it. It is
my understanding, that significant changes to the plan (i.e. path extension, elimination
of a bridge, grossly expanded picnic shelter, etc.) requires public notification and
hearings to determine the requirements of the residents, as well as, to ensure those
changes fit in •Hith the intent of the original master plan.
8. In July 1989, I attended a City Council meeting and was surprised when I was told that
the path had been approved. I had expected that Mary Saarion would keep her word
when she said in the spring 1988 meeting and subsequent meetings and letters that the
residents would have an opportunity to see the plan before anything was approved. As
lan
far as tolits ow,appnone of As a rnmsidensof fact1Ctherectly tareaseveralyofhus who did noth had t evenknow
prithat it had been approved.
9. Since that time. I have contacted the city and requested all the background
information that went into the approval of the path. I have received copies of several
memos, but to date. I am still waiting for a copy of the Council minutes when it was
approved so I can find out when it happened.
10. I would like to comment on a memo from Mary Saarion to the Mayor and Council
Members dated June 14. 1988 (see attached).
• When questioned why the wood chip path did not extend around the entire pond,
an appropriate response would have been that the master plan includes a bridge
to connect the two existing paths and provide easy access to the park. When
funds were available, it would be constructed.
• I think Mary stated it very appropriately in her memo when she wrote, "it was
the desire of the Park & Recreation Commission to extend the path" - not the best
interests of the residents that were considered.
11. In Mary Saarion's memo to the Mayor and Council Members dated March 28, 1989 (see
attached), she states "the pathway plan was... reviewed several times by residents." This
statement is not true. We never saw a plan until late this summer after we were told it
had been approved.
12. Once I finally received a copy of the path plan (July 1989), I contacted both Rick
Wriskey and Wayne Burmeister regarding its proximity to our lot line. The path and
plantings as currently planned will be on our property. We had pointed this out to Mary
in the spring 1988 meeting, but we were accused of moving the stakes that had been put
in for the meeting. This past week Wayne Burmeister has restaked our property lines
and agrees that there is a problem.
There is no room for the plantings which the residents have been promised. Since our
lot is also adjacent to the concrete access walk, it is even more critical that there be a
definition of our property. Otherwise, there will be a tendency to "cut the corner"
through our yard. In addition, if the ag-lime turns out to be anything like the wood
chips, many walkers will choose to walk along side the path rather than on it.
13. The plan also indicates the path will be 8 feet and "narrower as required." Since the
culvert is being put in so vehicles can cross and drive down the path, anything
narrower than 8 feet would have the trucks driving on the unstable bank of the pond or
on the plantings.
14. It should also be noted that two trees will need to be relocated to complete the path.
15. It is obvious that it was never intended to have the path along the residences.
• There is not enough room for it. Our lot line would not have been established
where it is if there had been a plan for the path.
• Plantings have already been made based on the master plan.
• In addition, if one looks at the master plan, it is quite obvious that the paths and
bridge at the narrows are intended to provide easy access to the park and its
facilities. There is no need for a path behind the residences. The bridge at the
narrows would connect the park to the paths from County Road H2 and the two
concrete access walks from Park View Drive.
16. It also comes as a surprise to me that in the packet of information I received
regarding the path, there is not one mention of cost - either development or
maintenance. As a tax paying citizen, I believe I have the right to that information.
There must be some document itemizing the cost for the development (i.e. material,
labor, backfilling, plantings, tree relocation, culvert bridge, benches, waste containers,
etc.). In addition, maintenance costs must include annual smoothing of the ag-lime,
filling in of holes in the bank caused by rodents. tree trimming, repair and replacement
of benches and waste containers, etc. These costs and associated benefits should have
been compared to the costs and benefits of a bridge at the narrows before a decision was
made to change the master plan.
Mote: I disagree with the comments that using the city equipment and labor for the
construction of the path is "free." The maintenance department is already ever:
41 burdened and not providing the service and maintenance to the parks that is required.
For example, at Silver View Park alone, the trees need to be trimmed, the holes in the
bank need to be filled, the new bench needs to be re -anchored, etc. If the people who
normally are responsibile for park maintenance are spending their time constructing a
path, then there will be even less maintenance provided to the parks. This is not "free"
labor.
As you can see, we are very frustrated for a number of different reasons. I believe that
the residents have been lied to, ienored, and insulted. The tax paying citizens and
businesses are paying for projects that have not been cost/benefit justified, and as such.
our money is being used to satisfy the desires of a few individuals not the needs of the
community.
This situation needs to change. Your help and support is greatly appreciated.

SUBJECT: SILVER VIEW PA.R.'C PATHWAY
The completion of Silver View Park pathway became an issue when staff received
telephone calls from residents who inquired why the wcod chip path did not
extend around the eacire pond. Staff brought this issue up to the Park, and
987. After se
Recreation this issue with hr sidengs onof lboth sides, itvwas'theedesire of the
discussing
Parss
k and Recreation Commission to extend the path completely around the pond.
Some residents living on land bordering park land continued to object to the
extension of the pathway. The issue was turned over to the City Council with
the recommendation from the Park and Recreation Commission that the pathway be
extended.
The City Council held several meetings with residents during the 1-1/2 year
timespan. A final plan explaining the pathway layout has been developed by
Engineer Dan Boxrud (see attached). It is staff's request that direction be
given from the Council to staff regarding the wood chip path at Silver View
Park.

DATE: MARCH 28, 1989
SUBJECT: SILVER VIEW PARK PATHWAY EXTENSION
It was suggested last year that the City look towards Spring,
1989 to install the pathway link of trail between the present
woodchip trail on the northwest side of the pond to the south
side cement walk easement and adjoining woodchip trail.
It was determined that this segment should be a crushed rock
material. The completion of this segment of pathway would follow
with the planting of shrubs and trees. Forester Rick Wriskey
will visit with each resident abutting this park area to consider
their desires for tree and shrub variety and Placement.
The pathway plan was designed by Short -Elliot -Hendrickson and
reviewed several times by the residents, Parks and Recreation
Commission and City Council. The crushed rock has been budgeted
for this year in the Parks Account. The public works crew would
cut the grade, pour the rock and pack the material. Forester
Wriskey would coordinate the planting details with each
individual resident whose property abuts this section of Pathway.
RECODL•!ENDATION: Approval to proceed with the installation of the
south section of Pathway using crushed rock material as a base.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL F�2
FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATC
DATE: AUGUST 28, 1989 �((
SUBJECT: COUNTY ROAD J RECONSTRUCTION
As you may recall, at the July 24, 1989 Council Meeting the
City Council approved the reconstruction of County Road J by
Ramsey and Anoka Counties conditioned upon the following
items:
1• The County improve the condition of that portion
of County Road J to be turned back to the City of
Mounds View prior to turnback consideration.
2. The County establish a fund for maintenance of the
turned back portion of County Road J prior to turn -
back.
3. The County negotiate the acquisition of property
needed for easements directly with the property
owners.
4. The County make a determination and ensure the
health, safety and welfare of Mounds View residents.
5. Ramsey and Anoka Counties actively pursue the
completion of Highway 610 by MnDOT.
6. Noise abatement be considered for that portion of
Highway 610 abutting the City of Mounds View.
At the request of members of the Ramsey County Public Works
staff, Public Works Director Minetor and I have met with
them on two occasions to assist them in determining how they
Might best address the aforementioned items. Ric and I have
also met with Mayor Hankner to obtain assistance in
interpreting the action taken by the City Council and
determining what actions might be taken by the County that
would be acceptable to the City Council. As a result of
these meetings, the County has agreed to undertake the
following items in response to the direction of the City
Council with the hope that the Council will find these
acceptable.
1. Since the portion of County Road J that will be
turned back to the City of Mounds View is part of
the MnDOT project for realigning County Road J,
MnDOT would be responsible for upgrading the
turned back portion of County Road J. Ramsey
County agrees to work Minnesota Department toftTransoortation to
the
upgrade that portion of County Road J asp t
their realignment project. Part of
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
PAGE TWO
(' AUGUST 28, 1989
2. Since the turned back portion of County Road J will
be eligible for MSA designation which would then
provide the City with a maintenance fund for this
road section, the County has agreed to assist the
City in pursuading the Minnesota Department of
Transportation to authorize the use of undesignated
MSA mileage which MnDOT has been withholding from
the City.
3. After discussing the County Road J reconstruction
project with the County and their consultants, Ric
and the County have determined that the road
reconstruction could occur on the west side from
Spring Lake Road to approximately Knollwood Drive
within existing right-of-way. The only need for
additional right-of-way would be as a result of a
decision by the City to install sidewalks. An
additional 10 feet of right-of-way would be required
from Sysco and Watson -Forsberg on the east side but,
in both cases, those property owners should be
willing to contribute that right-of-way as it will
be a direct benefit to their project sites.
Therefore, the County has agreed to limit it's work
on the west portion of the project to existing
right-of-way and work with the City in obtaining the
additional 10 feet of right-of-way from Sysco and
Watson -Forsberg on the east side of the project.
4. The County has agreed to assure the City in writing
that they will undertake the County Road J project
in a manner that will ensure the health, safety and
welfare of the residents of Mounds View.
5. The County will provide the City with resolutions
previously adopted by the County Board urging the
completion of Highway 610 by the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Transportation and restate those
resolutions.
6. The County agrees to assist the City in having the
Minnesota Department of Transportation study the
issue of excessive noise resulting from traffic on
610 which is purported to have a negative impact
upon residential property within the City.
Both Ric and I strongly recommend that the City Council find
these actions by the County to be in conformance with your
earlier direction of July 24th and authorize the County and
City staff to proceed based upon those actions.

Dear Mr. Pauley:

and
Canty Ergs
Paul L. Kirkwold
Decry Dm rw
and
Assaw Canty EJ7p
The Department of Public Works has been authorized to expend
Capital Improvement Bonds for the reconstruction of segments of
County Road J within your city. Ramsey County has retained the
services of BRW, Inc. to prepare a feasibility report which
addresses the entire road segment between T.H. 65 and I-35W.
This report will provide construction alternatives for those
tom, segments which are recommended to be included in a Ramsey
County/Anoka County project.
One segment which is not included in the County construction
proposal is the realigned segment of County Road J caused by the
interchange construction of County Road J with T.H. 610 (or New
10). Both Ramsey and Anoka Counties have chosen to remove this
segment from the BRW construction analysis because the
interchange design alternatives have been reviewed and approved
by the affected municipalities and because the construction of
this interchange segment solely rests upon Mn/DOT. The
Ramsey/Anoka County construction proposals identified in the BRW
feasibility report which is currently being considered will be
compatible with the Mn/DOT interchange improvement as proposed
or modifications of it which may occur due to detail design
considerations.
The reconstruction of New T.H. 10 has been of concern to the
northern suburbs for several years. Design alternatives and
construction staging have been developed and delayed for several
reasons. During this process, Ramsey County has continued its
support for the need to complete this necessary link. In 1979
and again in 1987, the Ramsey County Board passed resolutions
which urged Mn/DOT to proceed to the construction phase of this
project. Finally, an interim segment was constructed in 1988
which connected County Road J to T.H. 65. As part of my future
y, discussion with the Public Works Committee and County Board, I
will again be asking for their support in advancing the Mn/DOT
protect to the final stage.
Mn/DOT is not required by law to receive Ramsey County approval
to proceed with the construction of the final segment of New
T.H. 10 or its proposed interchange with County Road J. Mn/DOT
staff, however, has reviewed the proposals with us and has
solicited our comments. I know the municipalities' concern over
traffic noise and the other safety, health and welfare issues
that will arise from a project such as this. These issues are
also important to Ramsey County and I can assure you Ramsey
County will to every extent possible see these issues are
addressed by Mn/DOT rp lgr to implementation of the plan.
When the County Road J/New T.H. 10 interchange construction is
complete, several issues regarding local roads will need to be
addressed. For Ramsey County, these issues mainly concern the
condition, operation and jurisdiction of Old County Road J and
L ong Lake Road. Both of these routes are currently on the
County State -aid Highway system; however, depending on the final
design configuration, this may not be appropriate when
construction is complete. Ramsey County will at that time
conduct an analysis to determine what the appropriate
jurisdiction should be and recommend a course which will resolve
the issue. Should that recommendation result in municipal
ownership of those segments, Ramsey County will assist the City
in obtaining MSAS designation providing the segments meet the
criteria and municipal limits for MSAS designation.
The issues of County Road J and New 10 are many and complex.
Some, but not all, can be addressed with the Ramsey/Anoka County
project and others addressed as part of the Mn/DOT interchange
plan. Ramsey County shares the City 's concern that these issues
are addressed and will work to thtend on both proposals. If I
can be of further assistance, please

WHEREAS, The Minnesota Department of Transportation is proceeding with the
review of the draft environmental impact statement which covers the selection of
alternate location and design proposals that will be the basis for the improve-
ment of Trunk Highway 10; and
WHEREAS, A public hearing was held at Westwood Junior High School on June 13,
1979, at which time a description of the alternatives was presented, consisting
of alternatives as follows: "do nothing," upgrading along the existing alignment
of Trunk Highway 10 and construction of a new facility paralleling and approxi-
mately one mile north of existing Trunk Highway 10; and
WHEREAS, It is the opinion of the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners that the
"do nothing" alternative does not address existing or future problems of traffic
safety or capacity and the upgrading of existing Trunk Highway 10 would have ser-
ious adverse impacts on adjacent properties along the roadway, require substantial
capital improvements to alleviate safety hazards and fail to adequately meet recog-
nized transporation needs; and
WHEREAS, A segment of highway located along the proposed new alignment for
Trunk Highway 10 from i-35W to the :forth County Line has been built and used for
several years and represents a significant financial investment and wise planning
in anticipating future traffic needs on the part of the Minnesota Department of
Transportation; and
WHEREAS, The new segment of Highway 10 from I-35W to the North County Line
has created a severe negative impact on Ramsey County Road J from New Highway 10
to the existing 65; and
WHEREAS, I-694 in the City of New Brighton is extremely congested from I-35W
to the Mississippi River; and
WHEREAS, It is anticipated that the construction of Highway 10 and the North
Crosstown river crossing would alleviate some of the congestion on I-694; and
WHEREAS, A major river crossing between I-694 and the present crossing in Anoka
County is non-existent, and the proposed North Crosstown major river crossing will
provide a crossing about midway between these two locations; and

1 !MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council `4T``'✓�
FROM: Don Brager, Finance Director -Treasurer
DATE: August 16, 1989
SUBJECT: UTILITY BILLS
I have been informed that Councilmember Quick has received some
complaints that our utility bills are difficult to understand. I
feel it may be appropriate to review the billing format and the
reasons it was chosen.
Prior to billing a postcard is sent to utility customers
requesting that they read their meter and send the reading to
Us. The instructions state that an estimated bill will be sent
if the card is not returned in ter. days. Hear the portion of the
card where the meter reading is to be recorded is printed the
message, "Return Card by July 6 to Avoid $5.00 Est. Charge". The
estimation charge is intended to encourage the customer to read
the meter and return the card to us. A lot of additional
handlina is involved when an estimate is taken. The additional
handling is not making the estimated billing, the computer does
that based on past usage. The additional handling is explaining
to the customer, who believes the estimate to be too high, why
and how the estimate was made. The most difficult situation is
explaining a billing in a quarter subsequent to that in which an
estimate was made. Usually what happends is this: An estimated
billing is sent for a quarter in which the customer has used more
water than their average usage. The estimated billing is for
average usage and the customer has thus been under billed. The
next quarter the customer reads the meter. The billing is the
sum of the current quarter's usage plus the difference between
the previous quarter's actual usage and estimated usage. At
times that can be an unusually large bill for the customer.
Staff greatly prefers customers to read their meter so their
billings reflect their actual usage.
A postcard billing is sent to all utility customers. A postcard
billing was chosen because of cost savings associated with
postcards over placing the bill in an envelope. The cost savings
are a result of the following:
1. Staff time is saved by not having to place bills in an
envelope.
2. Postcards are less expensive than a bill and an envelope.
3. Less wear and tear on postage machine because envelopes
must be sealed.
4. Postage for a postcard is $.08 less for each piece than
sending envelopes. We send 2,970 bills each quarter. A
savings of $237.60 each quarter and $950.40 each year is
realized.
Mayor and City Council
August 16, 1989
Page 2
A sample billing is attached. The past billing is shown as
"Previous B/F". The amount last paid on account and the date
paid is next. Balance forward represents any amount that is
unpaid from previous billings. The current billing for each
service is printed next. For water, the present reading (590 in
the example), the previous reading (559), and usage (31) are
printed. Days represents the billing period, in this case 6/30 -
03/31. The amount due for each service is printed under "Billing
Changes". Sewer service is a fixed amount each quarter for
residential customers. The billing period is also printed for
sewer service.
Message lines are at the bottom of the bill. Three lines are
used each billing to advise of the due date and that a late fee
will be added after the due date. One messags line of 40
character may be changed each quarter.
Staff has received approximately 25 calls about the billing
format since converting to CSI's utility billing softt•:are in
1986. That number is less than 1$ of our customers. All calls
were about how to read the bill. After an explanation the
typical response was, "Oh, I see now. Thank you".
As is the case with most packaged software, "what you see is what
you get"; i.e. these programs are sold as is and are designed to
appeal to a large number of users. Programming CSI's current
rate for custom programming is $75.00 per hour.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

CMAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR PAUL
DATE: August 18, 1969
SUBJECT: STATE LIQUOR LAW AMENDMENTS
During the regular Session of the Legislature in 1989, several
amendments were made to the State"s liquor laws. Of these, three have a
direct impact upon the City"s liquor codes. These Statutory changes and
the current requirements of the City Code are as follows.
1. State law was amended to allow the sale of intoxicating liquor
on Sundays for appropriately licensed establishments from Noon
to 1:00 a.m. City Code reflects the old Statutory requirements,
namely, Noon to Midnight.
2. State law was amended to allow the sale of intoxicating liquor
on January 1st and July 4th. City Code contains the old
requirement that liquor sales are prohibited on these days.
3. The final change in State Law requires that a Public Hearing
rprecede any increase in fees for liquor licenses and that all
`�.. affected licensees be notified by mail at least 30 days before
the hearing. The City Code allows for changes in liquor license
fees by resolution of the City Council with no requirement for a
public hearing.
In the case of items 1 and 2, staff would request Council direction.
If you wish, you may leave the City Code as is and be more restrictive
than the State law. Staff will be preparing an amendment to Chapters
100 and 101 of the Code to reflect the requirements of item 3 and will
include any changes needed to comply with your direction on items 1 and
2.

that someone from that establishment come in and

information on the bankruptcy. The Ramsey County
Health Department has advised the kitchen facilities
are now in compliance with County code.
Motion/Second: Blanchard/Paone to table the renewal

the second public hearing at 7:12 PM.
Application for
Major Sub -
Ms. Hren reviewed the request of the applicant for a
division at
major subdivision at approximately 8140/8212 Long Lake
8140/8212 Long
Road. The Planning Commission has reviewed the
Lake Road
request and recommends approval to the Council of this
stage of the major subdivision. The Planning
Commission will continue to discuss the proposed
development of Outlot A. Staff has reviewed the con-
cept plan for potential development of Outlot A and
the lots fronting on Eastwood. The Planning Commission
held an informational meeting with the residents
located within 350' of the property. It is the con -
census of the Planning Commission from that meeting to
keep options open for future development of that
area.
Mr. Minetor explained a primary concern in that area
is drainage, as the area serves as a storm water
drainage area. He reviewed the plans and recommended
Mounde View City Council
Regular Meeting
the concept plan be handled separately. He also
reviewed the easements and stated he did not see a
problem with them, and also stated questions would
most likely come up concerning the concept plan
later.
Councilmember Paone questioned if the property was
designated single family.
Ms. Hren replied yes, it is R-1.
Mayor Hankner noted the Council had discussed this
last week. There were no questions or comments from
the floor, so Mayor Hankner closed the public hearing
and reopened the regular meeting at 7:16 PM.
Mayor Hankner explained the Council has been given
the oppurtunity to receive $75,000 from the Mounds
View Lions Club for a picnic shelter at Silver View
Park, and she called on Lion Jerry Linke to review
the proposed plans.
Mr. Linke explained he was representing the planning
committee of the Mounds View Lions, and he reviewed
r the steps the committee has taken so far. Costs on
IL` the proposed shelter came in higher than anticipated
so they sat down and made cuts to reduce the cost.
He added they have had discussions with the Council
and Park and Rec Commission concerning providing
utilities and the cost of them. He stated that he
will be going back to the full Lions Club later this
week with input from the Council.
Mr. Linke reviewed the proposed construction of the
building, which will be 34' x 691. He estimated that
the plans, as revised, should come in at the $75,000
bid price, and if the bids come in over that, they'll
have to sit down again and do more cutting. He also
noted the Council and Park and Rec Commission will
decide on the policy and use of the building.
Councilmember Quick expressed concern with the loca-
tion of the outside security lighting, and antici-
pated problems with maintenance. He also reviewed
the layout of the proposed shelter and questioned if
it could be layed out differently, in case changes
were needed in the future, specifically in the rest -
rooms.
Mayor Hankner noted one side of the bathrooms would
not be visible to the police driving by at night, and
expressed concern with vandalism, noting that they are
experiencing more in each of the parks.

Mounds View City Council
Regular Meeting
Mr. Links explained why the layout is proposed as is,
and the different options they have looked at. Alter-
nate layouts of the restrooms were discussed, but Mr.
Linke noted that they could not be cut in size much
due to the space requirement for making them handicapped
accessible.
Mayor Hankner pointed out that items the Council needs
to consider include replacement of items, on -going
maintenance and or. -going utility costs. The planned
restroom fixtures are porcelain, as they are less
costly than stainless steel, but are more susceptible
to damage and vandalism.
Mr. Links explained money is not available at this
time for picnic tables, but the Lions hope they may
have the funds to provide the tables in the near
future, and he reviewed the various options they have
considered. He added he does not feel the utilities
will be more than what the City is paying at Lambert
Park.
Mayor Hankner stated the Council is working with the
budget for 1990 and she hopes they might find the
funding for the tables.
Mr. Links stated he hopes to bring the plan back to
the Council in two weeks. They presently have about
one month left for planning and bids, before con-
struction must begin.
Mayor Hankner stated the item would be placed on the
agenda for next week, in the event Mr. Links is ready
to meet• with the Council then, and it could be tabled
if he is not ready, and in the meantime, Staff can
look at the issue of on -going utility and maintenance
costs.
Motion/Second: Hankner/wuori that Staff be directed
to gather cost information relative to on -going
maintenance, replacement and on -going utility costs
for the Silver view Park picnic shelter.
5 ayes 0 nays
Mayor Hankner stated she had received a letter about
the path extension around Silver View Pond, and the
City may have a problem as the proposed path area is

% County Commissioner Duane McCarty asked for direction nfrom the Council relative tothe Countyn they had
Road
previously regarding Y RoadJ
reconstruc-
tion, concerning eminent domain, and whether the Council
really wants to give up that authority to the County,
or if they would prefer to leave it within the local
domain. He noted not all commissioners live in or
close to the City of Mounds View. He stated that if
it is a cost containment issue, the County may be
able to help somewhat.
Mayor Hankner stated it is covered in the July
24
ect,
Council minutes, and noted it is a County prof
and it is the Council 's feeling that if acquisition
is needed, it is the responsibility of the County.
She noted Anoka County does it for theirake commudotnot
and the cities of propeine andrty
Spring necessary for the County
Park
have to acquire thee
Road J reconstruction.
Mr. McCarty noted this would be giving authority to
the County, and he pointed out the residents would
have access to only one County board member.
Councilmember Quick noted the County board is elected
by the residents of the County, and all board members
are representatives of all the people. He statedy to he
has no problems with giving p
the County.
Councilmember Wuori noted not all suburbs have the
same election structure as Mounds View, which is the
same situation as precincts or the County board repre-
senting several communities.
Mayor Hankner noted this is a County project and
should be done jointly by the two countiest and she
added the City should be represented by more than
just one commissioner.
It was the concensus of the Council to leave the
resolution the way it reads.
Mr. McCarty reported that Long Lake Road construction
north of County Road H is included in the cap
ital
improvement plan for 1991, but he cannot guarantee
that won't change within the next session.
