MOUND CITY COUNCIL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 7, 2005
The City Council of the City of Mound, Hennepin County, Minnesota, met in special session on Wednesday, September 7, 2005, at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers of city hall.
Members Present: Mayor Pat Meisel: Councilmembers Bob Brown, Mike Specht, John Beise and David Osmek.
Others Present: City Attorney John Dean, City Manager Kandis Hanson, Docks Superintendent Jim Fackler, Katie Hoff.
1. Open Meeting
Mayor Meisel called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.
2. Discussion of Dock Program Fees
Fackler reviewed the proposed fee increases needed to maintain a $100,000 dock fund balance. He also presented the balance sheet approved by the Docks and Commons Commission at their September 2, 2005 meeting.
After lengthy discussion it was the consensus of the Council to propose (beginning 2006) increasing the regular dock fee from $275 to $300, regular slips from $300 to $350, personal watercraft from $113 to $150, and create a share fee and additional BSU fee of $150. It was also proposed to create a third tier of fees for the Lost Lake multiple docks. This fee is proposed at 150% of the regular slip fee with a cap for three years (2006 through 2008) of $650. Based on a $350 regular slip fee that would put the Lost Lake multiple dock fee at $525.
Fackler was directed to plug the above numbers into the spread sheet and present it to the Council for review.
Discussion took place as to the timeline for setting the Lost Lake dock fees because MHRD anticipates doing pre-sales of units in November, 2005. They are requesting that the fees be set before pre-sales so they can be conveyed to prospective buyers.
3. Adjourn
MOTION by Brown, seconded by Beise to adjourn at 9:16 p.m. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
