WEEK IN REVIEW Edition # 83 11/16 -11/20 Building Permits this Period = 4 Building Permits YTD = 224 New Homes YTD = 123 * I received a phone call from Keith Ebensteiner (Royal Oaks Realty) on Tuesday. Keith indicated that they had purchased approximately 14 acres of vacant industrial property from Gerald Rehbein, just north of Terminal Transport. They would like to construct a building on about five acres for their own operations and then plat approximately eight one acre lots to sell to potential small industrial users. * We received notification that the Power of Working Together Tree Grant was funded. This is a $5000 grant to purchase trees and provide them to residents that live within 25' of NSP overhead powerlines. There is no match requirement for this grant. This will be a great public relations project for the City. The project will be coordinated to begin next spring. • The hockey rink has been completed at LaMotte Park. • Clyde Chase (HR Green) has completed the punch lists for both the Park-view development and the 20th Avenue sewer and water extension. These punch lists should be made available to the City next week. * The emergency preparedness training was completed by two staff members, two Councilmembers and one Councilmember- elect. * A tri -City meeting of the joint powers task force finance subcommittee was held on Monday evening in Circle Pines. The meeting was held to discuss the funding formula for a potential three City police department. It was apparent that not much progress was being made that evening. The City of Circle Pines remains reluctant to continue to subsidize the City of Lexington. * Reminder! There is a special meeting being held at 5:00 before the regular Council meeting to discuss the negotiation of the union contract. * I received a call from a dentist that was inquiring about commercial lease space on Friday.
