The attached CUP application explains the proposal and should address any supervision and/or security concerns. City/County Meeting on March 30, 1998 - Attached for your review is the agenda for the March 30, 1998, joint meeting between the City Council and the County Board. I think it is important to discuss some of these topics prior to the joint meeting so that the City Council can have a good understanding of the issues and so that the city can "speak with one voice" on certain issues. By this I mean we should know where we stand on a cost sharing policy for county road projects (see attached); how we will respond to requests for financial participation in the County Road 12 and the County Roads 33 and 77 projects; what our position is on the county solid waste ordinance; etc. City Engineer Terry Maurer will be in attendance at this meeting to help discuss the issues identified in the joint meeting agenda. City/School Meeting on April 6, 1998 - No agenda has been established for the City Council/School Board joint meeting that has been scheduled for April 6, 1998. However, I think that a number of topics are already known including a general discussion on our growth plans for east Elk River and our city concerns over the timing for expanding School Street to four lanes. Regarding the School Street project, it has always been the city position that we would not force assessments on the School District unless they petitioned for the project. The School District is the main beneficiary of this improvement project and it will be diflqcult to assess benefited property owners on the south side of this street. Accordingly, the city MSA fund will have to be the funding source for the other 50 percent of this project. If the school petitioned immediately we could probably still get this projected completed during the summer of 1998. Regarding growth in east Elk River, I don't know what else we can do to advise the School Board of the situation. We have, for the past few years, indicated that growth is going to be coming in a fairly rapid manner once utilities are extended, and have encouraged the School District to obtain adequate property for future schools in this part of our community. Beyond this type of discussion I don't know what else we can do to encourage action by the School Board.
