Mr. Culver advised that staff would continue to provide updates to the PWETC once municipal consent and noise wall votes were finalized, but until a cooperative maintenance agreement with MnDOT was drafted identifying any additional costs for Roseville requested items, there wouldn't be any action items to consider. 7.
