Railroad, south of Bury and Carlson, east of the City's maintenance garage. This project <br />will be the extension of McKinley and will hook up with Jaspar. We are requesting an <br />easement to construct a watermain and we have started the eminent domain action that <br />Council authorized. We have a preliminary appraisal - Ellen Herman is advising the <br />amount of $16,400 for damages incurred by the owner. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to <br />adopt Resolution #98-09-220 approving the appraisal of value for the Bury and Carlson <br />property. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Haas Steffen inquired about access to the Foster <br />Cemetery. Director of Public Works Kapler stated that he asked Mr. Bury about access <br />and it is felt that the area along 143rd is good. Mr. Kapler noted that the boy scouts have <br />done a lot of work in the cemetery and he felt that Council would be pleased with the <br />progress. Mayor Gamec asked about all the broken headstones in the cemetery. <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen suggested that the Anoka County Historical Society be <br />contacted - they can tell us if the stones can be replaced. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beahen and <br />Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: CouneilmemberBeyer. <br /> <br />MAYOR AND COUNCIL INPUT <br /> <br />1) Parade in Elk River <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec announced he received a letter from the Elk River High School telling <br />about their homecoming parade which is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., Friday, September 25, <br />1998. <br /> <br />2) 25-Year Anniversary Committee <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked that anyone interested in serving on the 25-year anniversary <br />committee to please call City Hall. <br /> <br />3) North Star Corridor Meeting - Commuter Rail <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen stated she attended the North Star Corridor meeting on the <br />commuter rail system. She noted that the stopping sites for the commuter rail are pretty <br />much decided. It's important we stay abreast of what's happening in Ramsey. The site <br />chosen to serve Ramsey and Anoka is in Anoka and she understands that Anoka has been <br />less than willing to open McKinley Street. Councilmember Haas Steffen felt that we <br />should try to have contact again with the City of Anoka. Talking about how we will get <br />people to this station to ride the commuter rail if that becomes a reality. We should do <br />that early on or it will not serve Ramsey. <br /> <br />City Council/September 8, 1998 <br /> Page 10 ofll <br /> <br /> <br />
