Council Update Residence @ The COR. A temporary Certificate of Occupancy has been issued to the Residence @ The COR for roughly a quarter of the building. Their goal is to have the whole building open sometime in August, in the meantime there will be one more Temporary Certificate of Occupancy to include another section of the building. You will see the west end of the buildings landscaping and driveway entrance being worked on next. A Grand Opening event is being planned for mid- July — stay tuned for details. Thank You - everyone who helped the building department along the way, these large project are multifaceted and we could not do it without your help. Washington, D.C. trip a success. Mayor Strommen and City Administrator Ulrich were in Washington, D.C. this week to meet with members of Congress regarding the funding of Highway 10 and the Armstrong Interchange. Meetings were held with Senator Klobuchar, and staff from Senator Franken's office, Representative Nolan, Representative Walz, Representative Bachmann and Representative Shuster (Chair of the House Transportation Committee). There was broad support for the City current federal grant application and a willingness to consider new program options tailored to address the safety concerns of intersection in the next federal transportation reauthorization bill. More information will be provided at the Council meetings on Tuesday. Notice — Single Lane Operations of TH47. On Thursday, May 23, MnDOT Maintenance forces are planning to perform microsurfacing on a 0.4 -mile stretch of Highway 47 near the Anoka County Fairgrounds. The microsurfacing will address cracks in the pavement and extend the life of Highway 47. During this work, there will be a flagging operation on Highway 47. Northbound and southbound traffic will take turns using the one available lane, while the other lane undergoes microsurfacing. To limit the impact on those who use Highway 47, Thursday's work will start no earlier than 9:00 a.m., and must be concluded by 3:00 p.m. The first half of the microsurfacing work at this location took place Tuesday, May 21. I regret that I was not aware of the microsurfacing until today; otherwise I would have offered advanced notice of Tuesday's work. The microsurfacing is expected to be finished on Thursday, May 23. Pet Clinic. The last of the spring pet clinics was held at Fire #2 on Sunday, May 19, from 11:30 a.m. — 1:30 p.m. Staff issued 111 dog licenses and 2 cat licenses. The veterinarian has not provided their numbers, but they estimate approximately 150 pets received their services. The overall turnout was lower than average. Again, the weather probably contributed to the smaller turnout, yet the rain held out for the entire event. And due to the 3 -year dog license that coincides with the 3 -year rabies vaccination, we will probably see a reduced number of licenses issued next year, as well.
