City Council Minutes Page 8 <br /> November 18,2013 <br /> Main Street and Parrish <br /> The Council discussed the various options. Concerns were raised regarding the <br /> removal of parking but it was noted that it is the best option to improve the site line <br /> visibility at this intersection. <br /> Council consensus was Option #3, remove parking and add a right turn lane for <br /> eastbound to southbound movements. <br /> Discussion took place on the possibility of adding a roundabout in the future if <br /> adding the right turn lane isn't sufficient. <br /> Proctor Road and Highland Road(194th) <br /> Council consensus was for Mr. Femrite to investigate the effectiveness of flashing <br /> stop signs versus regular stop signs and report back. <br /> Proctor Road and CSAH 1 <br /> Council consensus was to move forward with installing a left turn arrow for <br /> southbound CSAH 1 to eastbound Proctor movements. <br /> Mr. Femrite questioned if there are any other intersection enhancements the Council <br /> would like to consider for 2014. Council discussed reviewing the intersection of <br /> Jackson Street and Freeport Street as previous concerns have been raised at this <br /> intersection. Councilmember Motin mentioned issues with the Line Avenue/Main <br /> Street Intersection. He added that it may not be a high priority for 2014. Mr. <br /> Femrite indicated he would study both of these intersections to see if minor changes <br /> could improve the conditions. <br /> 9.2 Surface Water Management Budget <br /> Ms. Fischer presented her staff report. <br /> Mayor Dietz indicated he is not interested in a storm water utility fee so soon after <br /> implementation of the franchise fee. He questioned if the money from the peaking <br /> plant can be used as funding in addition to the levy amount. It was discussed that a <br /> long-term funding source such as a tax levy or storm water utility fee will need to be <br /> established in the near-term. <br /> Council consensus was to use any available Fund Balance excess as the first funding <br /> option with the GRE Reserve as back-up funding in 2014 as the storm water <br /> program gets established with the new permit requirements. <br /> 9.3 2014 Budget <br /> Mr. Simon presented the staff report. <br /> P O w E R E U 9 1 <br /> 1`4 f U <br />
