7.06: Consider Response to City of Anoka Comprehensive Plan Amendments <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill presented the staff report and three amendments <br />proposed to the City of Anoka Comprehensive Plan. <br />The Council confirmed its support to collaborate with the City of Anoka to assure <br />development/redevelopment does not impact the ability to make improvements and upgrades to <br />Highway 47 and the transportation system in general. <br />The consensus of the Council was to refer the proposed amendments to the City of Anoka <br />Comprehensive Plan to the next Work Session for further discussion. <br />8. MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT <br />The Council acknowledged receipt of Highway 10 traffic and crash statistics. Councilmember <br />Tossey stated his intent to submit an editorial relating to that data, noting the City has purchased <br />land to accommodate upgrades of Highway 10 and Armstrong Boulevard. <br />City Administrator Ulrich announced upcoming meetings, events, and ongoing projects. He <br />advised of the opportunity, in conjunction with the rail project, to relocate the historic City Hall <br />building, which had been estimated at $27,000 seven to eight years ago. It was noted that if <br />relocated, it would open a site for development. <br />The Council discussed options for relocation of this structure, noting its historic significance <br />would no longer exist once moved. <br />Councilmember Wise stated he did not support any expenditure to relocate the old City Hall <br />because it had no historic significance. <br />The majority consensus of the Council was to direct staff to further explore options to relocate <br />the old City Hall subject to the foundation accommodating the pump /equipment so the entire <br />building could be repurposed. <br />Interim Engineer Nelson provided an update on road projects. <br />9. ADJOURNMENT <br />Motion by Councilmember Backous, seconded by Councilmember Tossey, to adjourn the <br />meeting. <br />Motion carried. <br />The regular meeting of the City Council adjourned at 8:37 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />City Council / August 28, 2012 <br />Page 8 of 9 <br />
