Councilmember Shryock stated the trail then goes from the Trott Brook to Tiger Street so <br /> currently, there are two uncompleted segments. <br /> Councilmember Johns asked whether the City should consider a trail project with the County. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated with the improvements Anoka County is making over Trott <br /> Brook, it may be a good section to consider for completion. <br /> Councilmember Johns asked City Engineer Westby to check on this option with Parks and <br /> Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood. <br /> The Committee discussed the trail alignment. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated it makes more sense to have a crossover at Central Park and then <br /> connect to the north side at Trott Brook. <br /> Informational; no action required. <br /> 5.03: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> City Engineer Westby stated staff will keep the project calendar updated and include the topic of <br /> long-term water supply. He stated the water fund balance is slipping a little so the water rates <br /> may not be where they need to be. He explained the water rates are collecting funds for a future <br /> water treatment plant but perhaps that should be reconsidered based on updated census data and <br /> growth projections. City Engineer Westby stated if desired, staff will continue to update the <br /> calendar for consideration at by the Public Works Committee. <br /> The Committee agreed. <br /> Chairperson Riley stated he sees no problem waiting on the water studies because that action will <br /> be required by someone else's actions. He noted the last water study was out of date upon <br /> receipt. <br /> Councilmember Johns asked if water treatment is included in the Comprehensive Plan, which <br /> will dictate some guidelines. <br /> City Engineer Westby answered in the affirmative and agreed with the comment of Chairperson <br /> Riley that the last water study did not provide the information desired. He stated staff and the <br /> Council will talk about the issues that should be addressed in the next study before an RFP is <br /> drafted. <br /> 6. COMMITTEE/ STAFF INPUT <br /> Councilmember Johns asked if the Public Works Committee meeting can start at 5:30 p.m. and <br /> what type of public notice would need to be provided. <br /> Public Works Committee/ March 15, 2016 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br />
