ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Mr. Post stated that Engineer Brown has spent time with Mr. Stafford and himself to reevaluate the scope of the Pavement Management Plan. An issue was that there were more projects in the plan than there was money to handle them. Mr. Brown had some suggestions that the City Council would explore in more detail at the next Council Worksession. Mr. Post noted that the City received a petition from the property owners on Old Highway 10 regarding the extension of the City water line to these residences.

With regard to the October Council Worksession, Mr. Post stated that he had two agenda items he would like included. These are subsequent to the I35W Corridor Coalition making its presentation to the Metropolitan Council in early October. The two agenda items were: 1. The City Council's direction regarding a recommendation to Ramsey County for the Highways 96/1 0 intersection. The Coalition and the Metropolitan Council may impact the City's proposal for the triangle area. The City received a petition stating, if there is work to be done at the Highways 96/10 intersection, residents on Old Highway 10 and Lakeshore Place implore the City Council to consider a cond i tion of approval that a sound barrier on the east side of Highway lObe constructed. 2. .
