Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Cich to direct City Stuff to draft a nudity ordinance for City Council's consideration. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca, Pearson, Cich and Peterson. Voting No: None. Case #11: Report Regarding Installation Of New Lighting Controls At Central Park: Mr. Hartley reported that manual switches for the lights at the Central Park ballfields have been ordered and should be installed within a week. Park and Utilities Coordinator, Mark Boos, will coordinate the procedure for using the ballfield lights with users of tim fields. Case #12: Mississippi Trail Corridor Review Of Alternative Alignments: Mr. Otto reported that the Mississippi Trail Corridor is a regional trail and the City has to establish an alignment satisfactory to all agencies involved prior to receiving the additional 200 acres into the MUSA boundary. At issue at this point is the alignment west of Alpaca Estates through undeveloped land. The Anoka County Park and Recreation Department and Metropolitan Council recommend that the alignment be closer to the river, parallel to Bowers Mississippi Acres versus along the Hwy. #10 corridor; the Ramsey Park and Recreation Commission has concurred with that suggested alignment. The consensus of the City Council was to direct Mr. Otto to submit a map to the reviewing agencies indicating that portion of the proposed Mississippi Trail Corridor west of Alpaca Estates not being aligned along the Hwy. #10 corrdior and not so close to the river as those agencies have suggested, but rather through that undeveloped land west of Alpaca Estates at the discretion of the developer. The City Council also directed Mr. Otto to inform the owner of that property west of Alpaca Estates of what is being submitted to the reviewing agencies as proposed alignments for the Mississippi Trail Corridor. Case #13: Special Joint Meeting With Planning And Zoning Commission To Discuss Surface Water Management Issues: Mr. Hartley stated that there is a fair amount of discussion amongst cities, counties, legislature and water management organizations regarding surface water management. Mr. Hartley requested that the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission conduct a joint meeting for the purpose giving City Staff direction as to the City's position with respect to legislative action regarding surface water management. Motion by Councilmember DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Cich to schedule a joint meeting of the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission for December 12, 1989 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss surface water management. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca, Pearson, Cich and Peterson. Voting No: None. City Council/November 14, 1989 Page 11 of 14
