masinc =N RIgInCI w <br /> Edition # 13 4 -14 -97 through 4 -18 -97 <br /> Building permits issued this week = 11 <br /> Building permits issued YTD = 29 <br /> * Earth Day is Saturday. Be at City Hall at 9:00 if you wish to <br /> help with the town clean -up. <br /> * We have received word that Lino Lakes is willing to allow us <br /> to connect into their water system, but only if we connect at <br /> the intersection of 21st and Cedar Street. I will ask Dave <br /> Nyberg to comment on the feasibility of this option at the <br /> Council meeting. <br /> * In speaking with Gerald Rehbein, the food distributor is still <br /> looking at the Industrial property that Gerald owns. They <br /> have provided Gerald with the layout for a building they would <br /> like to build. Gerald has conducted a topographical survey <br /> and overlaid their building plans on his site. He is waiting <br /> to hear from them. They are also looking at a potential site <br /> in Rogers, MN. <br /> * Park Grove Development has pulled another permit to begin <br /> construction on their third eight -plea townhome unit. <br /> * Paul Palzer and I met with Dave Nyberg and Tom Kaldunski on <br /> Thursday afternoon. Mr. Kaldunski is MSA's <br /> inflow /infiltration expert. We have come up with a plan to <br /> try to reduce I/I in our sanitary sewer system. Some new <br /> construction standards will be used in the construction of <br /> manholes in the Lakeland Hills project. We will begin our <br /> study of the manholes during a rainy period in late April or <br /> early May. The report on this project will be used for the <br /> basis of submission of a $40,000 grant request from Met <br /> Council to correct system deficiencies that we identify. <br /> * The Council will need to make a decision on the financing <br /> method (for accounting purposes) on the acquisition of the <br /> LaMotte Park extension. I would recommend allocating at least <br /> 50% of the purchase from TIF funds. I will speak with Carolyn <br /> Drude to get her recommendation. The auditor recommends <br /> allocating the entire expenditure from TIF. With the balance <br /> in the park fund, anticipated future park fund deposits, and <br /> other agency commitments, I believe that it would be feasible <br /> to begin an initial park development phase this year. I will <br /> be working with the park board to put some hard numbers <br /> together for presentation to the Council. <br /> • <br />
