Replacement of failed plantings will occur soon. New plantings will include more of those species which have done well. We are now ready for the contractor to move forward with the reconstruction of the shoreline. Gregg Thompson and Natural Shore Technologies will be working together to ensure a proper implementation of their design. 6. Comprehensive Plan (000616-07157-0).

The next step will be to submit the plan to the Metropolitan Council Review. 7. 2009 Street and Utility Improvements (000616-07158-0). At the June Ilh City Council meeting, a resolution ordering the improvements was passed. A separate resolution specified the scope of work which was to be designed and bid at this time. The remaining portions of the project which were ordered may be designed and bid at a future date. Presently, we are working on the plans and specifications for the first phase. Discussions with Rice Creek Watershed District will begin soon, as we formulate enough of a plan to solicit their formal comments. We will also be contacting residents whose yards best accommodate rain gardens to get their input and ask for their support.
