Mr. Wessel agreed with Mayor Wilharber. He explained that the focus for Lino Lakes is the portion of 21st Avenue south of Main Street. Mayor Wilharber noted a safety concern relating to the Main Street /I -35E over pass and the need for the cities to address the traffic situations. Mayor Sullivan agreed that there is a safety concern pertaining to the I -35E over pass and traffic congestion. Mr. Wessel explained that Lino Lakes is moving forward with the plan to realign Otter Lake Road on the east side of I -35E. Both projects are expected to be completed before winter. All agreed that a realigned Otter Lake Road would provide a safer intersection. There was discussion regarding whether or not the Joint Powers Agreement should address 21st Avenue all the way to Cedar Street. Mr. Powell and Mr. Ahrens said that this would depend upon Mr. Rehbein's plan for development in the area. They suggested that the extension should be driven by the developer in Lino Lakes or other businesses wishing to locate in Centerville. In any event, a temporary cul -de -sac or turnaround would be required at the south end of the upgrade. The Lino Lakes and Centerville City Engineers were instructed to prepare a draft Joint Powers Agreement for the first phase of construction for 21st Avenue and present the draft to the City of Lino Lakes on August 10, 1998 and the City of Centerville on August 12, 1998 for ratification. The Extension of the first phase will be determined by the engineers. Both City Engineers agreed that construction of the first phase would be completed before winter. The meeting was adjourned at 5:50 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Ry -Chel Gaustad, CMC City Clerk 3
