Meeting Minutes

Travis Hoeschen, VP of Operations, Sutton Transport, addressed the Commission and
provided an overview of the schedule the drivers typically have from morning to night.
Administrator Statz stated in the past they had some issues with traffic flow at those
th
intersections and noted he would encourage them to use 20 as the inbound because it
provides more space and if there should be several trucks waiting at the intersection it will
not cause a major backup.
Commissioner Kubat stated one of his concerns is the trucks coming and going at the same
intersection where a daycare is located. Mr. Sutton stated the truck schedules are staggered
so not all trucks are coming and going at the same time, noting they should not cause traffic
backups.
Commissioner Kubat asked what type of trucks they use. Mr. Hoeschen stated they currently
have 15 tractor/trailers and 5 straight trucks. Acting Chairperson Twohy asked what the
difference is between the two bays provided in the concept plans. Mr. Sutton stated ideally,
they would like the service bay to be approved but they are open to both options.
Acting Chairperson Twohy stated the plan was good and thoughtful and he appreciates all
their hard work.
Administrator Statz noted the consensus of the Commission this evening was that there is
no opposition to the service bay option in the plan, he stated it is preferred.

IX. Announcements and Updates
1. Council Member Liaison
Council Liaison Koski stated the biggest thing that is happening right now is that the city is
looking into working with SBM (Spring Lake Park, Blaine & Moundsview) Fire
Department. He stated the city would have two full-time employees who essentially work
for SBM. He noted it is the direction a lot of cities are going because it is hard to find people
to cover daytime hours.
