manganese levels above the recommended level. A public open house is scheduled for <br />Thursday, May 30 from 5:00 to 7:00.

The City <br />currently contracts with CBRE for commercial real estate brokerage services. The contract <br />originally started in 2014. The EDA and City Council have continued to discuss the most <br />effective way to market our developable parcels (traditional broker, in-house staff, <br />development management services, general marketing). Slight revisions to this program are <br />being recommended, but generally retaining the services of CBRE. For more information, <br />contact Sean Sullivan, Economic Development Manager, at ssullivan@cityoframsey.com or <br />763-433-9868. <br /> <br />Regional Stormwater Improvement – The COR <br />The City Council recently approved plans for a new regional stormwater system in The COR to <br />address newer stormwater regulations and proximity to public wells. The Lower Rum River <br />Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) implemented a ‘volume reduction’ <br />requirement that attempts to allow runoff to infiltrate back into the groundwater supply, <br />reducing the demand on the stormwater system and hopefully reducing certain flooding <br />implications. However, when in close proximity to public wells, as is the case within the COR, <br />this infiltration needs to occur in areas further away from public wells. Addressing stormwater <br />on a regional approach also maximizes the development potential of individual sites. The City <br />Council authorized advertisement for bids. Upon receipt of bids, the City Council will consider <br />awarding a contracting and beginning construction. <br />City Council Vacancies & Elections <br />The City currently has a vacancy of an At Large Seat, created by the election of John <br />LeTourneau to fill the remainder of the Mayor’s Term.
