<br />Engineering <br />November 15. 1999 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />7.3. Update on East Elk River Sewer and Water and Street/Storm <br />Sewer Projects <br /> <br />The city engineer should be able to provide the City Council with a <br />verbal update on the status of the east Elk River project. One situation <br />that needs to be updated is the Klein dewatering problem from this past <br />summer...All of the right-of-way for the project has been obtained, but <br />we are still working through the eminent domain process to determine <br />the price for some of the properties... The street and storm sewer part of <br />the project is anticipated to be bid out in the near future and the City <br />Council is expected to consider and award bids before the end of the <br />calendar year... The City Council has previously been updated on the <br />George Deschenes property and the relocation of a business. This <br />includes a plat and the selling of a remnant parcel back to Mr. <br />Deschenes and this situation continues to progress in a reasonably <br />favorable manner...An update on the status of the intemal <br />improvements associated with the Elk River Crossing commercial <br />project should be available Monday evening along with the status of <br />work that is required on Highway 169 and Main Street. <br /> <br />. 7.4. Highwav 169/County Road 33 Resolution <br /> <br />Attached for your information is a memo from the city engineer on the <br />signalization of this intersection and a "preservation of right-of-way" <br />resolution for your consideration. <br /> <br />7.5. Business Center Drive Extension <br /> <br />Attached for your review is a memo from the city engineer and a <br />resolution approving an agreement with MnDOT for work on this <br />project. This project was briefly discussed by the City Council at the <br />June 28 CIP meeting, and, as Terry Maurer's memo indicates, state <br />financial participation in the project is anticipated. The land owner has <br />requested a petition for public improvements, which would seem to <br />indicate that they are considering this project seriously in 2000, but to <br />date we have not received this petition back at City Hall. Nonetheless, <br />it is appropriate for us to continue moving forward with our plans in <br />anticipation of construction of this project in 2000, and the project can <br />always be put on hold for one year if necessary. <br /> <br />. <br />
