Councilmember Musgrove thanked City Administrator Hagen for preparing this legislative update as it gives the Council more information on where some of the relevant bills are. She asked about the pedestrian overpass on Highway 10. She stated she is not sure why this is being addressed and is confused as to why it is one of the legislative priorities. She added that she is concerned with the process of how this came about and how the Council was not fully informed about this project. She shared concerns with the precedent that this sets for the planning process that an email would be able to generate a project like this from someone outside of the City. City Administrator Hagen shared that this was discussed during one of the Strategic Planning Sessions related to the youth athletic facility being proposed in this area. He noted that the City has an existing easement for a pedestrian crossing on this parcel. He added that Council discussion during the Strategic Planning Session was that the Council would be interested in this if it was paid for by others. He explained that if the City is awarded funds for this project then Staff will bring this back to the Council to figure out how to move forward. City Administrator Hagen announced upcoming meetings and events. Councilmember Specht shared the Ramsey Garage Sale Trail will be the weekend of May 3-5. 9.
