City Engineer Westby stated that the last update he received was that Anoka is working on the <br />preliminary design that would then be shelved until funding is made available. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley stated that he would want to ensure that the plans would not negatively impact <br />Ramsey. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that he would continue to follow up with Anoka. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that there was discussion at the November meeting regarding a <br />drainage and utility easement and provided background information. He stated that the <br />recommendation of the City Attorney is to pass a resolution restricting all use of the easement <br />until such time a regional trail is available north of the property. He noted that he spoke with the <br />property owner and the owner asked if there is something that can be done to simply restrict the <br />use by hunters. He noted that he is still awaiting a response from the City Attorney. He asked if <br />the Committee would like to see the item again before it moves to the Council. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley stated that the Committee made a decision and offered an alternative and <br />therefore the easiest thing would be to do nothing. He stated that he does not see a reason to <br />bring the case back to the Committee, or to Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Johns agreed that the decision had been made. She noted that the property was <br />received through park dedication and therefore the City is not interested in vacating the property. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer provided an update on the recent plowing activity. <br /> <br />Informational; no action required. <br /> <br />6.02: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby provided a summary of the Public Works Committee future topics <br />calendar. He stated that he would also like to review the street maintenance program with <br />the Committee at some time, if possible. <br /> <br />Councilmember Johns stated that perhaps that would be better received during a City Council <br />worksession. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that the City Council worksessions tend to fill up and therefore <br />there is not always enough time available. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley requested that a review of the application of State Aid funds be placed on <br />the calendar. <br /> <br />7.
