~ ~~HILLS . MEMORANDUM DATE: July 14, 2004 AGENDA ITEM: 2C TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator SUBJECT: Parking Issues, Mounds View High School BACKGROUND Over the past several years there have been issues relating to parking in the neighborhoods near Mounds View High School (see attached map). The most common response was to put up "No Parking" signs in some areas. However, cvery so often some new parking-related incidents would occur. Most recently, there were somc incidents in May 2004. Specifically, some students began parking on Glenview Avenue, and on one occasion were observed urinating in someone's front yard. Ultimately, the City erectcd two more signs on Glenview in response to neighbor requests. However, we felt that a more global policy approach was needed, rather than . putting up signs upon request. There were concerns and questions regarding enforcement and effectiveness of this approach. DISCUSSION On June 9, a meeting on this topic was held at ^rden Hills City Hall. In attendance were the following: Julie Wikelius, MVl-IS John Maas, MVSD John Miller, City ^ttorney Councilmembcr Lois Rem City Administrator Michelle Wolfe George Altendorfer, RCS Mike Salter, RCS Paul Haidcr, RCS 9MVHS SRO) Mayor Beverly Aplikowski O&M Director Tom Moore Much was learned during the course of discussion. Some of the key points are highlighted below: . The School Resourcc Officet (SRO) patrols the neighborhood about three times per day during the school year. .
