City Manager Ed Shukle introduced Tom Maple. He presented
information regarding the Essential Function Bond Program in
refere~nee to multi-family housing for the Lost Lake property.
Mr. Maple presented the program and what the options would be .for
the City of Mound should it decide to go in this direction. It
was a Council consensus not to pursue multi-family housing for
the Lost Lake property. City Manager Ed Shukle pressed for the
Council to discuss what exactly they would like to do with the
Lost Lake property other than to clean it up. The Council
basically indicated that to clean up the ground is the most
important issue at this time. '~
A discussion was held with regard to alternative sites for Public
Works outdoor storage. Geno Hoff. Street Superintendent and Greg
Skinner. Water and Sewer Superintendent were present to discuss
the alternatives that have been looked at. City Manager Ed
Shukle reviewed the discussion from the May 16th Committee of the
Whole meeting. where the Council had given some direction on what
to investigate. Essentially. he reported that all of those
options were not feasible with the possible exception of snow
storage at the Waste Control Commission Site. Discussion was
then held on the possibility of storage of material to the east
of city hall between city hall and the fire station. It was the
consensus that the staff investigate this alternative and bring
it back to the next Committee of the Whole meeting.
Discussion was held with regard to the Public Facilities Task
Force Report on the future expansion of city hall. Discussion
was held with regard to w hether the Council supported the
proposal as it was presented by the Task~Force. It appeared that
at least four of the Councilmen bers indicated that they supported
it: The question was should they go further and spend the
necessary dollars to prepare plans and specifications for bid
thereby knowing what the bids would be. Simultaneously they
would inform the" public as to what they were doing with the
project to be paid for out of the Capital Improvements Debt
Service Fund. It was the consensus to have the Task Force
formally present the report to the City Council at its July 11th
meeting.
