The Apple Academy is closed for staff training, so I will be operating in the role of primary parent tomorrow. * The workers compensation audit was completed on Monday of this week. • I spoke to Brent Coatney owner of Terminal Transport yesterday. Mr. Coatney is interested in discussing the purchase of the Cedar Street Park property. This will be a future agenda item for committees and Council. * I spoke to Greg Owens (President of the County Bank) yesterday. Greg has confirmed that they want to break ground as soon as possible for their Centerville branch facility. They are currently in the process of hiring staff. They expect to have a bank manager hired in May. The architect is working on the building plans. I received a call from their civil engineer yesterday. They are working on the drainage and grading plans for the site. Greg reaffirmed that they are very excited and look forward to having the city monument sign on the bank property. They can not wait to become a part of our business community. * Street sweeping is complete. Hydrant flushing is scheduled for next week. * I spoke to Jim Luger (Washington County Parks Director) yesterday. Mr. Luger indicated that Washington County is in full support of the Northeast trail vision that was outlined in Wayne LeBlanc's letter on behalf of Park and Rec. Mr. Luger told me that Washington County was fesponsible for paving the trail from Hugo to Forest Lake on the abandoned railroad right of way. I asked Mr. Luger what we would need to do to ensure that a trail component would be included in the plans for the reconstruction of CSAH 8 from I -35E to Highway 61. Mr. Luger said he has had conversations with the Washington County Highway Engineer and that he has responded that a trail component could be included in the reconstruction plans. We will have to make sure this becomes a reality. Mr. Luger would like to see the trail continue over 135E through Lino and Centerville and then into the 4/27/00
