Further discussion: Mayor Strommen noted the motion on the floor does not include improvements to re -grade old County Road 5. City Engineer Westby stated if re- grading old County Road 6 is not included with the Anoka County JPA, he would estimate the increase to be not more than 20 %. Councilmember Johns stated her support to add that project to the JPA as residents had voiced concerns about the grade and the impact of further development to the north. Councilmember Backous stated his intent to oppose the motion since it did not include the project on old County Road 5 and the watermain loop. Amendment motion by Councilmember Backous, seconded by Mayor Strommen, to amend Resolution #14 -01 -017 Approving Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County for CSAH 5 (Nowthen Boulevard) / Alpine Drive Intersection Improvements. To add re- grading of north end of old County Road 5 to the Anoka County JPA, and to construct the Alpine Drive watermain connection during the project but under separate contract, both at the City's expense.

Motion by Mayor Strommen, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to place the sale proceeds into the Park Trust Fund and made available for future construction of this trail.
