City Administrator Update The City Administrator informed the Council that pcr has made arrangements with the subcontractor responsible for the Central Business District sidewalks and they are expected in Elk River soon to replace certain portions of sidewalk. The City Administrator suggested to the Council that if they are at all interested in purchasing the County property north of the fire hall that they send a letter to the County. The Council discussed the possibility of the City purchasing the parcel of land from the County. It was the consensus of the Council that the City did not have the funds to purchase the land and, therefore, could not consider it at this time. Councilmember Kropuenske stated that although the City cannot purchase the land, he does not feel that the location is an area conducive to a County Garage as it is located near the downtown area and a central park. The Council concurred with Councilmember Kropuenske and suggested the City Administrator draft a letter to the County encouraging them to investigate the sale of the property for office or commercial use as they have reservations about the increase of truck traffic on Jackson Avenue. The City Administrator informed the Council that an HRA meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 25, 1989, at 4:00 p.m. The City Administrator also informed the Council that a special city council meeting needs to be held May 8, 1989, for the purpose of the appraisals being presented to the Council.
