calling for a special election at the same time (or as soon as possible thereafter) to <br />trigger the start of the special election calendar. <br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br />Anoka County Regional Economic Development (ACRED) Marketing Committee <br />I attended a Marketing Committee meeting recently and got up to speed on the <br />ing on creating some promotional videos, <br />expanding on our Broker Event and developing a Business Retention and Expansion <br />strategy. <br />Minnesota Technology Corridor <br />The MN Tech Corridor group met again, this time to talk transportation needs. County <br />Engineers from both Anoka and Washington Counties got together along with the cities <br />in the corridor. The meeting was very productive, and should lead to some synergy <br />between transportation plans from the two counties and all the cities. Good conversation <br />was had, as well, about the future of interstate access points along both 35E and 35W. A <br />summary of the transportation issues discussed is attached to your City Council packet. <br /> <br />Economic Development Authority <br />The EDA met in a joint session with the Planning and Zoning Commission to review <br />downtown redevelopment proposals. They also recommended moving forward with <br />Trident Development. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />Comp Plan <br />Comments on our submitted plan have now been received from Met Council. City staff <br />and our consultant are working to address them. None of the comments appear to be <br />substantive. <br />Peltier Estates <br />No recent news. <br />Waterworks Site/DeFoe Property <br />Significant progress has been <br />few weeks. We also saw a first draft of the Landscaping Plan, which has been a long <br />awaited part of the overall development plan. We are hopeful all final documents will be <br />ready for final approval at the next City Council meeting and that we can finally record <br />the plat and start issuing building permits as soon as the frost is out of the ground. We <br />received a revised certificate of insurance for the property. <br />Old Mill Estates <br />City staff and the developer continue work <br />documents, prior to bringing a Final Plat forward for approval. Significant progress has <br />been made on these documents in the past few weeks. <br /> <br />
