1994-07-19MINUTES- COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE- JULY 19, 1994,
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM. Members present: Mayor Johnson,
Councilmembers Jessen, Jensen and Smith. Ahrens was absent and excused. Also
present: City Manager Ed Shukle and Tom Reese LMCD Representative at 8 PM.
The Mayor and City Council salaries were briefly discussed. The City Manager had
pointed out that the City Council had discussed at the last Committee of the Whole
meeting and it was continued until this meeting to talk about whether there should be
an increase in the salaries and how much that increase should be. After some
discussion, the Council suggested that the Mayor's salary be increased from $1800
per year to $4500 per year, and the City Council's salary from $1200 per year to
$3000 per year. They then agreed to have this matter be put on the August 23, 1994
agenda when all members would be present. The actual increase would go into effect
January 1, 1995.
Tom Reese, LMCD representative, was present to review items of interest at the
LMCD. The City Council expressed their concern that the Pelican Point project be
given the request that they have made for 40 dock sites on the property. The LMCD
is talking about limiting the docks to 28 or one per 50 feet. The City Council has
previously expressed their support for 40 dock sites. Apparently, the Water
Structures Committee of the LMCD has looked to its ordinance on regulating the
number of docks on private property. They have apparently asked the applicant,
Boyer Development Corporation, to come back to them in early August with proposed
site plans on where docks could be located. The LMCD Board wili Take up the matter
at its August meeting. The City Council indicated their support again for the 40 dock
sites and asked Mr. Reese to convey this message to the Board when it meets on this
matter.
Other items discussed were the Lake Access Car/trailer Parking Agreement, the
Wayzata Lake Walk Proposal, 1996 LMCD Budget implications and lake traffic boat
counts.
Goal Setting was then reviewed by the Mayor and Council and City Manager. The list
was updated by Councilmember Jensen for this meeting and will continue to be
updated as time progresses.
Other business included questions regarding the Environmental Trust Fund established
by the State when the State Lottery was put into place by the Legislature. The City
Manager was asked to contact area legislators to find out if there is money within the
Environmental Trust Fund to assist cities like Mound in doing projects related to the
environment, i.e. Lost Lake Canal rehabilitation (local share).

Also discussed was the property next to the Superamerica on Shoreline Dr~ve, possibly

of the old Superamerica property on the corner of Lynwood Blvd. and Commerce Blvd.
in downtown Mound.
