Member Neprash asked about the recommendations the Commission had <br />made regarding the Northwestern College PUD and whether those <br />recommendations had made it into the final version. Deb Bloom said all <br />the recommendations were in the final version. <br /> <br /> 4. Communication Items <br /> <br /> Har Mar Intersection Memo <br /> Ms. Bloom presented information on the PUD amendment application <br />from Har Mar Shopping Center. This provides an opportunity to <br />reconstruct the intersection at Snelling and Skillman, which has been a <br />major problem area. <br /> <br /> Member Vanderwall said he thought this was a good plan, and the road <br />reconfiguration would also be a benefit to the school district. <br /> <br /> MET Council Inflow/Infiltration Notice <br /> Mr. Schwartz presented the Inflow & Infiltration surcharge the Met <br />Council is proposing to bill the city for 2008. <br /> <br /> Member Willenbring asked if most of the problem areas had been <br />identified. Mr. Schwartz said we have been able to identify some direct <br />inflow, but precipitation hasn’t been enough for certain problems to show <br />themselves. <br /> <br /> City Open House <br /> The City is planning an open house for October 13 from 10:00 to 2:00. <br />Mr. Schwartz asked commission members for suggestions and invited <br />them to attend. <br /> <br /> Comprehensive Plan <br /> The City Council selected a consultant to work on the plan update and will <br />be appointing a steering committee made up of commission members, <br />staff, residents, etc. One member of the PWETC is being asked to serve <br />on the new committee. No one volunteered, and Member Willenbring <br />suggested that one of the two missing members might be interested and <br />asked that commission members be emailed additional information before <br />a decision is made. <br /> <br /> Member Vanderwall brought up the 35W bridge collapse and said this <br />incident underscores the nature of the commission’s responsibility. Ms. <br />Bloom said that she had been attending meetings with Mn/DOT and <br />officials from other cities to discuss temporary and permanent methods for <br /> <br />redirecting traffic. <br /> <br /> <br />5.Imagine 2025 Discussion <br /> <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />
