Dave Schwartmg <br />should be able to provide an update on the project. <br /> <br />Ee <br /> <br />County Road 40 Improvement Project Proposal <br />County Road 44 Improvement Project Plans <br />Please see the comments in the attached Terry Maurer letter. <br /> <br />In general, we have a little communication problem on each of these projects. With <br />County Road 40, the city was not aware of the extent of its financial involvement <br />before the grant was submitted. With County Road 44, after a joint staff meeting, we <br />assumed that they understood that the city was not going to take over this project <br />since no Council action to do so was approved and since no letter requesting this <br />county action was sent. Hopefully the delay in letting the county know our official <br />position will not change the improvement schedule. <br /> <br />City Transportation Plan Update <br />This will likely be a very brief update. The city always wants our plans to work in <br />conjunction with the county transportation plans. Our plan is expected to continue <br />to emphasize the need for future road corridors and improvements to existing road <br />corridors; both of a city and county nature. <br /> <br />Ho <br /> <br />Standards for Urban County Roads <br />Councilmember Kuester requested this item to be on the agenda. Last year, <br />discussion took place regarding a crosswalk on County Road 77 near Salk Junior <br />High School. <br /> <br />Solid Waste/Environmental <br /> <br />ao <br /> <br />Lake Orono and Watershed Drainage <br />Steve Rohlf will be in attendance at this meeting to provide some comments on the <br />city's issues and concerns with water quality at Lake Orono. <br /> <br />Be <br /> <br />Ditch 28 <br />The county requested this item to be on the agenda. The city pays for ditch <br />improvements made within the city limit. This ditch has been repaired numerous <br />times at numerous locations over the past ten years. <br /> <br />C. <br /> <br />Landfill Activities <br />The landfill has recently received county approval to expand its construction debris <br />operation into Livonia Township, north of the city. The city and county work in <br />conjunction to regulate landfill activities. It is anticipated that there will be a landfill <br />expansion request made in the not too distant future. <br /> <br />RDF Contracts <br />The city was recently advised that NRG has filed for bankruptcy. This is not <br />expected to significantly affect the RDF operation in Elk River. The contract for the <br /> <br />S:\CO U NCIL\Pat~2003\jointmeetingmemo.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
