City Council Minutes Page 4 <br /> November 6,2017 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Mayor Dietz opened the public hearing. There being no one to speak to this issue, <br /> Mayor Dietz closed the public hearing. <br /> Mayor Dietz questioned the timeframe. Mr. Femrite stated transition will be made as <br /> items require repair. He noted this item will come back as a formal plan must be <br /> approved by Council by the end of 2017 in order to be eligible for future funding. <br /> 8.1 Dancing Crane Acres Trail Easement <br /> Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report. <br /> Moved by Councilmember Westgaard and seconded by Councilmember <br /> Olsen to remove condition #4 of the Dancing Crane Acres plat requiring a 15' <br /> trail easement on the east side of Meadowvale Road outside of the right-of- <br /> way. Motion carried 5-0. <br /> 8.2 Discuss Work Session Items <br /> Mr. Portner presented the staff report. He stated the Council will be discussing food <br /> trucks and the tobacco shop distance requirements on November 20. <br /> Mayor Dietz indicated he read in the newspaper Otsego is conducting a fire study <br /> and questioned if that will delay our joint meeting. Mr. Portner indicated it would be <br /> best to wait until their study is completed. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard questioned when the sales tax item will be discussed <br /> again. Mr. Portner indicated it will be added as an agenda item once he has additional <br /> information,probably after the first of the year. <br /> Councilmember Wagner stated this may not be a work session item but the weeds in <br /> the medians and sidewalks along Highway 10 from Upland to Main Street are <br /> looking bad. She said has been informed it is MnDOT's responsibility but <br /> questioned if there is anything the city can do since it makes Elk River look bad. Mr. <br /> Portner explained the city discussed with MnDOT before and it was added to their <br /> Est and he believes if the city brings it up to them again they would be willing to fix. <br /> 9. Council Liaison Updates <br /> Council provided updated on the activities of the various boards and commissions. <br /> Mayor Dietz questioned if signs advising park goers to wear bright colors due to <br /> hunting in progress at Houlton Park have been installed. Mr. Portner stated he will <br /> look in to but there should be some sort of signage present. <br /> ------------------------------ <br /> UREJ <br />
