Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />September 20, 2000 <br />Page Four <br /> <br />75% complete and will be completed by the spring of 2001. The one hang-up <br />this project may encounter in being constructed in 2001 is that County Road 12 <br />will be under construction for a good portion of the year. At a later date, a <br />decision can be made whether or not to begin the project on 175th Street later <br />during the 2001 construction season or to hold it back until the spring of 2002. <br /> <br />7. Auburn Street <br /> <br />As Council has directed, I have organized and facilitated a meeting of staff <br />members to brainstorm and discuss options for dealing with the neighbors' <br />complaints regarding the amount and speed of traffic on Auburn Street. I am <br />currently preparing a draft of the minutes from that meeting which will be <br />reviewed by all attendants and will be available to present to the City Council at <br />an upcoming meeting. <br /> <br />8. Pavement Replacement Program <br /> <br />It is my understanding that a pavement replacement program was discussed <br />briefly during the recent budget cycle. City staff has done a substantial amount <br />of work on this project several years ago. The project sat for awhile as the East <br />Elk River project proceeded through design and on to construction. At any <br />appropriate time, staff would be available to present the pavement replacement <br />program to the City Council as a whole for their consideration and direction. It is <br />my understanding that initiation of this project may not happen until 2002 or <br />2003, depending on the availability of funding. It still would be a worthwhile <br />exercise to get the program into shape and understand what is involved prior to <br />initiating the first project. <br /> <br />9. Highway JO/Main Street Intersection <br /> <br />Based on City Council's recent discussions, we have started to revisit this issue <br />and will in the next few weeks be available to present some findings and options <br />to the City Council for their consideration. Timing is appropriate for this project <br />as one of the funding scenarios we can consider would be application for a TEA- <br />21 grant when the next round of solicitations occurs in late November. <br /> <br />This is just a brief update on each of these projects. I will be in attendance at your <br />September 25, 2000, City Council meeting and will be able to discuss any of these <br />projects in greater detail. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
