PUBLIC WORKS/STREETS Lino Lakes LaMotte Neighborhood Street and Utility Reconstruction A street project is now approved, but water main will not be included, except that Lino Lakes would like to run a main down to their neighborhood park to provide the area with some measure of fire protection. Labor Union Negotiations A formal contract has been sent to the Union for their final review and signature. Copier We are looking at options to replace the Public Works Department copier and will bring those to Council in the near future. PARKS Dupre Artifacts Cataloging of the artifacts is now complete. We will need to begin looking at a strategy for display of the items. I have been in contact with the Wargo Nature Center and they are excited about getting some of the items for display in their building. Conversations with the Elementary School are ongoing. We are also exploring opportunities to, again, display items during Fete des Lacs. Parks Capital Improvement Plan and Park Dedication Fee Study I attended the January Park and Rec Meeting to discuss the structure of Park Dedication Fees and the need for a comprehensive study to properly justify those fees. We will bring a proposal forward, for Council’s review, to complete a formal Park and Trails Plan. FETE DES LACS The Fete des Lacs Committee has been meeting, the third Monday of each month and planning is well underway. The festival is set for July 17-22, 2018. The parade theme this year will be “Cougar Pride”. Facebook (@fetedeslacs) and web pages (www.fetedeslacs.org) are now up and running. PUBLIC SAFETY Centennial Fire District Painting and remodeling efforts are underway at both stations. The flooring will be done at station 3 first and is planned for May 2. Centennial Lakes Police Department Sgt. Bill Jacobson has been attending Fete des Lacs Committee meetings and has done a great job coordinating public safety night during the festival.
