He will be greatly missed by <br />his fellow city council members and <br />members of the community who valued his <br />time and commitment to the city. <br /> <br />First elected in 2004 and then re-elected in <br />2008, Tom has lived near the south side of <br />the lake for over a decade. He has <br />balanced his community service with his <br />occupation as the owner of several small <br />businesses and involvement on the board <br />of a few non-profit organizations. <br /> <br />When asked what he was most proud of <br />working on during his terms of office, Tom <br />responded that it was "simply working with <br />a diverse and dedicated group of residents <br />who give of their time and talents on behalf <br />of the city." <br /> <br /> (continued on page 5) <br />Tom Rasmussen Completes His Service <br />th <br />Construction Projects to Affect Labore Road <br />Nearby street and utility improvements on <br />Labore and County Road E, as well as the <br />construction of a new medical office building <br />were both recently approved by the City of <br />Vadnais Heights. <br />The street and utility work are now underway <br />and will last into November. According to a <br />memo from Mark Graham, City Engineer for <br />Vadnais Heights, the work will include <br />underground utility work for sanitary sewer, <br />water main and storm sewer improvements. <br />No bituminous surfacing or concrete curb work <br />is anticipated until next year. The street work <br />will also include turn lane construction and <br />modifications on both County Road E and <br />Labore Road. <br />The construction of the newly approved medical <br />facility will take 11 months (continued page 2) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
