City Council meeting of May 4, 1998 Page 9 OFFER TO SELL PROPERTY (MONNO) Joseph and Pamela Monno have offered to sell the City approximately 5.3 acres, including a house, garage, and pole building for use as a public park. This matter was on the agenda of the City Council meeting of April 20, 1998, but was tabled due to lack of time. The Council considered a letter in response to the Monnos' offer. Barnes made motion, Arcand seconded, to approve the letter responding to the Monnos' offer. All aye. Motion Carried. FUNDING REQUEST (WB ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION) The WBL Athletic Association requested that the City contribute a maximum of $1,000 to study and evaluate the adequacy of athletic facilities provided in the WBL school district. With the assistance of the cities of Hugo, WBL, Vadnais Height, Birchwood, Gem Lake, and WB Township, the Association wishes to prepare a facilities needs analysis for the communities involved. Miron made motion, Barnes seconded, directing staff to provide the Association with a copy of the City's Master Park Plan. All aye. Motion Carried. BEAVER PONDS (FUNDING OF U"ROVEMENTS) Jim Schilling addressed the Council that, in his opinion, he was being unfairly charged for certain improvements for the Beaver Ponds development. He felt that costs for the lift station should be allocated so that all properties benefiting from the improvement should be responsible for the expense. This opinion also carried over to the escrow money proposed for the future improvements to 130th Street. As the Council had only recently received the Administrator's report on this matter, no action was taken at this time. SUNSET LAKE RIDGE DEVELOPMENT As the City did not have any financial leverage to require the developer to blacktop Ingersoll Avenue, the following motion was made: Barnes made motion, Miron seconded, directing the Building Inspector to issue no further building permits for the Sunset Lake Ridge development until such time as the City has plans for the improvement to Ingersoll Avenue. All aye. Motion Carried.
