directed the consultants to meet with MnDOT at the earliest possible opportunity to resolve the 142nd Avenue signalization issue. There is no Council action necessary. 2) Authorize Updating Appraisal for Properties Needed for 153/155 Avenue Project Mr. Jankowski stated that in order to acquire right-of-way for the 153/155 Avenue Project, six properties were appraised in February, 1996, to provide the basis for acquisition offers to the property owners. Since these appraisals are nearly three years old, they need to be updated to reflect current market conditions. The Council had directed staff to begin negotiations with these property owners at the August 25, 1998 Council meeting. The Road and Bridge Committee directed staff to update the 153/155 Avenue appraisals at a cost of $3,500. Motion by Councilmember Beahen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to direct staff to update the 153/155 Avenue appraisals at a cost of $3,500. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Beahen, Zimmerman, Beyer and Haas Steffen. Voting No: None. 3) Review Issues to Discuss with City of Anoka Mr. Jankowski reported the following issues were discussed with the City of Anoka at an October 21 meeting. Included is a summary. Discuss the signalization of C.R. #116 and Dysprosium Street and the improvement of C.R. #116 from T.H. #47 to C.R. #. #57. The cities of Ramsey and Anoka will meet with Anoka County to define an improvement project along this segment of C.R. #116. Access control will also be discussed. This meeting has been scheduled for 3:00 p.m., November 4, 1998, at Anoka County. Discuss the drainage from Business Park 95. All of Business Park 95 ultimately drains to a regional detention pond which is located on the Ramsey/Anoka border. An outlet for this basin will be needed in the future as the Park develops and the infiltration capacity of the pond decreases with time. The City has the alternatives of discharging to Anoka's storm system Enterprise Park or develop its own outlet to the Mississippi River to the south. Ramsey staff will evaluate the cost of constructing a storm outlet to the south. The City of Anoka will provide a cost for discharging into the Enterprise Park system after receiving a description of the contributing drainage area. Discuss the connection of McKinley Street between Ramsey and Anoka. Although the connection of McKinley Street between the two cities has been an issue between the two communities since the development of both our adjacent industrial parks, it was pointed out by Anoka that there has been no formal communication on the topic. It was agreed that a listing of the pros and cons of the connection be made by both communities and a subsequent meeting be held. City Council/October 27, 1998 Page 10 of 13
