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 He noted the last water study was out of date upon 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.
