Member Luongo asked whether the city could create a dedicated webpage for <br />summer 2026 road construction projects that would compile all projects in one <br />place for residents to review. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained that the city already provides construction <br />information on its website, including a dedicated projects page and an <br />interactive GIS map that allows users to zoom in and select individual projects <br />for more details. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained that residents can sign up for construction alerts <br />through the city, which are typically distributed on Fridays and include updates <br />on city, county, and MnDOT projects. He added that residents can also <br />subscribe to Ramsey County alerts, which are generally sent later on Fridays, <br />as well as MnDOT alerts, where users can choose to receive updates on specific <br />proj ects. <br />Chair Ficek asked about the leaf site, specifically whether staff would monitor <br />activity and observe operations once it opens. <br />Mr. Freihammer noted that staff would be monitoring activity at the leaf site <br />and collecting data, explaining that the spring season can be more challenging <br />for gathering information due to lower usage compared to fall. He reported that <br />staff planned to use cameras again to assist with monitoring. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained that staff had received a high number of calls from <br />residents due to incorrect information online identifying the site as a yard waste <br />facility. He indicated that staff were working to correct the information so <br />residents would not attempt to bring materials that are not accepted. <br />Mr. Freihammer reported that staff would bring the topic back to the <br />Commission in June for further discussion, with the goal of allowing the <br />Council to make a decision in July. He added that any changes or updates would <br />then be communicated in the fall newsletter to prepare residents for the <br />upcoming season. <br />b. Civic Campus Project Update <br />Mr. Freihammer reported that there were no major updates at this time, noting <br />that a stakeholder meeting had not yet occurred, but work on the project <br />continued. He explained that both the license passport dance studio and the <br />maintenance operations center remained in the concept design phase. He <br />indicated that the concept for the license passport facility was nearing <br />completion, although negotiations with the VFW were still ongoing. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained that staff had revisited programming for the <br />maintenance operations center over the past month to refine space needs and <br />sizing. He noted that a design charrette was scheduled for later in the week, <br />Page 5 of 28 <br />
