The motion carried unanimously (4-0). <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS <br /> <br />Mr. Fritsinger noted that curbside recycling stutTers will be included with the City utility bill <br />within the next two weeks. Acting Mayor Aplikowski noted that cardboard boxes can now be <br />used for recycling. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritsinger stated a memo had been included in the Council packet regarding the Cleveland <br />Avenue Bridge, which was closed on April 4, 1996, due to a hole in the deck. Mr. Fritsinger <br />stated Mr. Stafford will be meeting with the County to re-prioritize repairing the bridge now that <br />it is closed, and would like to Council's input as to whether the City should recommend <br />relocating the bridge and adding a signalized grade crossing or replacing the entire bridge at its <br />current location. Mr. Fritsinger stated replacing the bridge would cost the City $20,000, where a <br />signalized grade crossing would be no cost. <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone stated the railroad nses that area extensively for storage and crossing <br />with trains. He stated while bridge reconstruction would be more expensive, a signalized grade <br />crossing would not be a good alternative. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks stated approximately 10 people attended a meeting regarding the bridge to <br />get input from the area residents. He stated residents were concerned about decreased access if a <br />signalized crossing was constructed. <br /> <br />Counci1member Keirn stated she did not receive a notice of the public hearing. Mr. Stafford <br />stated the area notified by Ramsey County was supposed to include each property owner up to <br />two blocks east of Cleveland Avenue. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Aplikowski stated that bridge reconstruction would be better for the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone stated since the mounts for the bridge are existing, and the railroad is <br />very active, a bridge reconstruction would be a better alternative than a signalized crossing. <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone noted the Planning Commission meeting has been rescheduled for May <br />8,1996. <br /> <br />Councilmember Keirn inquired who would be attending the Human Rights Committee meeting <br />with her on April 9, 1996. Mr. Fritsinger stated he would be joining her. <br />
