No. SS-W-P-ST-86-1, Northwoods Council was referred to letter from Opus Corporation requesting preparation of plans and specifications for Northwoods street and utilities; requesting that sodding be added to the project and that the City maintain the lighting once it is installed. Christoffersen stated that the addition of sod to the project would not be a problem.

Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) . Hamline Avenue Crossover at County Road F Hansen asked Christoffersen if there is any chance we can get the crossover to south bound STH 51 from the 1-694 ramp chaRged; has received a number of complaints that it is not safe. Christoffersen said he can ask about it; noted the intent is to funnel traffic to one lane (now have two lanes), with the re-design, he does not feel the maneuver will be as difficult. Christoffersen reported the pre-construction meeting is scheduled on Friday - anticipates 20 working days to complete the project; noted the State's project will probably be finished before City's project for Hamline, north to STH 96, begins. Christoffersen explained that Hamline will not be paved full width or have curb and gutter until 1987 (second phase of construction). SiRn Inventory Christoffersen referred Council to letter from MnDOT advising of federal dollars available for a sign inventory and 90% of sign replacement cost; suggested that the City may wish to make application, After discussion, Council took no action. Proposal for Rabies Vaccination Clinic - Dr. CraiR Frobom Dr, Frobom distributed information relative to his proposal to Council, and described his proposal for a vaccination clinic from his mabile unit which would be parked at the City Hall. Frobom said that no one else has offered this service; estimated that 25% of all dogs in the City are not licensed and have not had a rabies vaccination; noted that Arden Hills does not require cats to be vaccinated - noted that the trend indicates that rabies in cats has increased about 200%. Frobom estimated that about 1/2 of the 2,000 households in Arden Hills has at least one pet and 1/2 of these have more than one pet; noted that currently only about 400 dogs are licensed. Frobom said this "pilot program" would be good for the residents of Arden Hills and their pets; noted that after" the vaccination is given, the dog/cat would be licensed. Frobom emphasized the need to restrain animals, by leash or otherwise. Frobom said he would be responsible for keeping the area clean around the mobile unit when parked at the City Hall; advised that the City would not incur any costs; client would be charged $6.00/vaccination, which is less than the fee charged by area veterinarians; City personnel would license the animals . after they are vaccinated; City personnel would not be needed to assist in the vaccinations. Frobom said stray animals would not be vaccinated (no one to pay the fee); proposed that the City advertise the clinic and pay for the advertisement; said he'd pick up the tab for this if necessary. In discussion, Frobom was asked where he practices now. Answer was from his mobile unit in Minnesota. It was noted that there are several established
