Finance Director Lund noted that they have people who come into the finance office concerning <br />their utility bills who have a very difficult time understanding how water bills work. <br />Community Development Director Hanson added that the impacts of the City growing will create <br />a need for additional Staff in some departments, such as the Building Department. <br />Police Chief Katers asked if they rely on the Met Council's number. He shared that when they <br />have tried to do projections in the past, they have been relying on Met Council's numbers which <br />have been very off. <br />Community Development Director Hanson said the Met Council's numbers are still off. <br />Planning Manager Larson explained they can do their own projections by multiplying the housing <br />units by the average number of household members. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby noted the County will also be working on the west <br />end of Highway 10 in the corning years. <br />Councilmember Musgrove mentioned Highway 5 and shared that the County has some potential <br />roundabouts coming in the next five years. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby shared they just approved the letter of support for <br />these three applications. <br />Councilmember Musgrove noted the bridge with Dayton. <br />City Administrator Hagen said they will keep this on the list for the legislative agenda as they <br />would like to collect some funding for this. <br />Planning Manager Larson said it would be nice if they looked at the corridor for Highway 5 rather <br />than just the intersections. <br />Councilmember Musgrove shared that she knows the County improved Alpine and Highway 47, <br />as well as the crosswalks in this area. She added they also improved crosswalks and traffic flows <br />on Bunker. <br />Planning Manager Larson shared he was referring to a full-fledged reconstruction on Highway 5. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby shared he has not heard any plans for the bridge over <br />the Rum River just east of Highway 47. <br />Planning Manager Larson shared that a developer is going to be making their development <br />application in the coming weeks, which will be for 480 units. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if they were doing this project in phases. <br />City Council Special Work Session / February 1, 2024 <br />Page 16 of 20 <br />
