Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to direct staff to evaluate the cost of constructing a storm outlet for Business Park 95 and do a cost comparison with the cost to be provided by Anoka for discharging into their system, and to compile a listing of the pros and cons for connecting McKinley Street between Ramsey and Anoka and schedule a meeting to discuss with 'the City of Anoka. This information should be brought before the next Road and Bridge Committee meeting. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beyer, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. 4) Discuss Policy for Issuing Access to the Limited Access County Road Mr. Jankowski stated that this topic was added to the agenda and is based on a request by a Mrs. Millis for access to C.R. #116 from a pole barn located on her property at the southwest comer of C.R. gl 16 and C.R. #56. The Committee decided that direct access to the highway would not be in the public interest as C.R. gl 16 must be preserved for the purpose of moving traffic. The possibility of access to a frontage road would be an acceptable alternative, however, it would be premature at this time to determine whether this would be a feasible alternative. Staff should respond accordingly to Mrs. Millis's attorney. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to direct staff to research whether an agreement was recorded between the City and Mr. Peltzer, Mrs. Millis's father, at the time he deeded that 150-foot strip to the City and to contact Mrs. Millis's attorney with a response to her request. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beyer, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Mayor Gamec announced that C.R. #116 between Ramsey and Armstrong Boulevards will be opening on Friday, October 30, 1998, at 1:30 p.m. Case #9: Report from Finance Committee 1) Consider Authorization to Purchase Computer Network Hardware and Software Mayor Gamec noted that a regular Finance Committee meeting was not held, however, Council are the sole members of the Committee.
