Councilmember Hendriksen suggested that Mayor Gamec review this issue with staff and then <br />write a letter to the County asking where they are with regard to signalization at Thurston and <br />Dysprosium. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmerman asked about the study that was done with Anoka relating to #116. <br />He pointed out that Ramsey ended up paying 75% of that study. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec responded that nothing has been done on the study. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman suggested that this issue could be a project for the new engineer to <br />work on. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated he would hate to take 153rd out of the CIP right now. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik noted it is the last link of the east/west corridor and <br />mentioned the second fire station. <br /> <br />Consensus was to put funding for 153/155 in the 2000 and 2001 CIP. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen - with regard to storm water drainage - page 57 - suggested that <br />page be removed completely. The next page talks about a section of 153rd flooding; he added <br />that there is a flooding problem a ways down 153rd also so another project should be added for <br />the area of 153''`~ between #56 and #57. He pointed out page 59 dealing with County Ditch <br />#3/66. If we do one half the ditch, we have to get all the permits, etc., he suggested it would <br />appear more economical to do the whole ditch. Improving the lower end does not make sense <br />when the problem appears to be more the upper end. Councilmember Hendriksen summarized <br />his suggestions: Delete page 57, leave page 58 and create a second similar project on the low <br />area between #56 and #57. Page 59 should include cleaning all the way up to C.R. #56. If we <br />can only afford to do half, we should do the upper half. <br /> <br />Councihnember Connolly stated she would like to look at different trail surfaces and also had <br />some questions about equipment replacement. <br /> <br />Discussion took place regarding park bleachers and the question was raised about bolting a board <br />across the back to be made safer. Councilmember Connolly expressed concern about building <br />gazebos and the like when there clearly is a need for active playfields. She added that the <br />parking lots also do not need to be so elaborate as thought should be given to the ease of <br />snowplowing, etc. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman felt that a lot more discussion on the items in the CIP is needed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly referred to page 68.5 - remodeling city hall. She would like to see <br />that moved ahead but she was surprised to find out building a new city hall was in this CIP. She <br />was not aware we would be doing that so soon. The start date shows 2002. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session/January 31, 2000 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
