LOST LAKE ACCESS SITE
The City Manager was asking for direction from the Council on what they feel
is feasible and what direction they would like to take on this access issue.
The Council would like the following clarified:
I. Will the State pay for ail costs of the access?
a. The Council wants the access to be a benefit not a burden to
Mound.
2. The Council would like a small neat package (exposing but not
destroying the wildlife that is there).
3. Limited parking not to conflict with the downtown businesses.
4. A plan from the DNR would have to be presented before any final
negotiations would be undertaken.
5. The entire area could be cleaned up and made presentable by this
access.
6. Could another channel be put in off the existing channel to
accomodate an area near the proposed elderly housing.
CATCH BASIN CLEANER
The City Manager told the Council about a demonstration of a vac-all
machine to clean catch basins in the City. The machine is something the
City really needs with our 300 plus catch basins to clean and our limited
personnel. It would require only 2 people to operate and could also be
used to sweep and vacuum the gutters along the streets. We could
purchase a used one with ½ the money coming from Capital Equipment Outlay
and ½ from Revenue Sharing Funds. The Council indicated that the Staff
should go ahead and prepare specifications for a bid.
Swenson moved and Ulrick seconded a motion to adjourn at 5:15 P.M.
vote was unanimously in favor.
Fran Clark, City Clerk
Motion carried.
