Public Works Director Kapler replied Great River Energy has indicated they cannot control <br />anything outside of their right-of-way, and that transmission lines do not affect the tower. He <br />has left a message with Connexus inquiring about the substation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen arrived at 5:45 p.m. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jeffrey inquired why the antenna would not be located on the water tower <br />property. He questioned the effect of the antenna on the land value in the proposed area. <br /> <br />Police Chief Way replied locating the antenna too far in the direction of the water tower would <br />take coverage away from the City of Anoka. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Kapler stated the positive to this location for the antenna is that the <br />required backup unit can be sized large enough to work for the Fire Station as well when it is <br />built. <br /> <br />Police Chief Way advised the current budget for the new Police Facility includes an amplifier, <br />which will not likely be needed with this new antenna. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson inquired why this particular portion of this land was determined as the <br />preferred location for the antenna. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Kapler replied staff could approach Connexus to determine if an 80 by 80 <br />portion of land inside the pine trees could be utilized for the antenna. <br /> <br />Police Chief Way indicated this will be on the February Planning Commission agenda <br /> <br />1) Council Committee Assignments <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman reviewed that during the City Council meeting of December 13, <br />2005 it was suggested that the City Council review the committee assignments for each <br />Councilmember. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to make the following changes to the organization resolution <br />that was passed during 2005: <br /> <br />Health Authority <br /> <br />Dr. James Long <br /> <br />Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) <br />Steve Jankowski <br />Councilmember Cook <br />Councilmember Strommen (Alt) <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / January 3, 2006 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
