I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Case ~tg: Joint Ramsey/Anoka Council Meeting <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder stated that for many years the two Cities of Anoka and <br />Ramsey have been discussing the possible connection of McKinley Street at our mutual <br />border in the industrial area. He noted documents that detail that Anoka is concerned about <br />traffic congestion on Thurston Avenue, McKinley Street and at the T.H. #10 and the <br />Tech frontage mad at Thurston Avenue prior to ~a.ny connection of McKinley Street between <br />Ramsey and Anoka. The Anoka study has suggested that traffic congestion may weI1 <br />increase as a result of a McKinley Street connection to Ramsey as our industrial parks <br />continue to develop. Mr. Schroeder continued that Anoka is also concerned about several <br />other traffic issues within their community with contributors from ou'tside of town - the <br />Ferry Street Bridge and the Main/I69 intersection. The Anoka Council and Staff persons <br />are interested in meeting on Ramsey's transportation needs and the McKinley Street <br />connection; however, they are concerned that if reconstruction of downstream intersections <br />is necessitated ox' moved to an earlier time frame, Anoka will be left with the bill. They are <br />also concerned about the platting of our industrial property and proposed building <br />standards as well. <br /> <br />Anoka City Manager Mark Nagel was present and suggested some meeting dates for a joint <br />Council/Staff meeting. <br /> <br />A date will be selected for ajoint Ramsey/Anoka Council meeting. <br /> <br />Case #10: <br /> <br />Amendment to Tax Exempt Note - Grosslein <br /> <br />City Adminisu-ator Schroeder stated that in 1979, the City of Ramsey issued a tax-exempt <br />revenue note for an expansion of Grosslein Beverages. The City was asked to allow for <br />the extension of this note for an additional five-year term beyond the initial 1/1/95 <br />expiration. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to adopt <br />Resolution 895-05-109 approv/ng amendment to Tax-exempt Note (upon favorable <br />Attorney review). <br /> <br />Motion carried.

He stated that the Road <br />and Bridge Committee met earlier and discussed Sunwood Drive and are recommending we <br />accept the proposal from the Department of Natural Resources which is an altemative <br />crossing treatment for the two wetlands involved which consist of filling in a causeway <br />halfway across each of the wetlands and spanning the final I00 feet with a Iow-profile <br />bridge, and to direct the consultants to 15roceed using the bridge concept. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin inquired if'them is any chance a change in the wetland would impact us. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowsld replied that a change would be with the Wetland Conservation Act but there <br />is not much change anticipated. <br /> <br />City Council/May 23, 1995 <br /> Page 12 of I8 <br /> <br /> <br />
