INFORMATION Rivers Edge Meeting Minutes Wednesday, July 132005 (Q)~~[Fl The meeting was called to order at 8:05 AM. Present were Mark Wold (Bumper to Bumper), Ty Sunderman, Rober Hebeisen, Laurie Bie1, Pat Klaers, Jeff Gongoll, Heidi Steinmetz, Mark Urista, Deb Urista, Tony Mikols, Cliff Lundberg, Fred Mccoy, Wendy Simenson, Bruce West Treasurer's Report: $3253.11 with no outstanding bills Secretary's Report: Minutes from the May meeting were accepted as written Old Business: City Update: Guardian Angels and Meadowvale School had indicated an interest in moving the Gazebo to their property. Unfortunately the cost of moving it is more that it would cost either to build a new one so both groups decided they didn't want it. The City will now be offering the Gazebo for sale at its auction this weekend. Jeff said that he would like the Elk Weather Vane off the top for the Chamber building if possible. The Big Flag from the Jackson Square Parking Lot will be moved to the School District Building somewhere near the new King Ave Parking Lot. King Ave Parking Lot should be completed in the next couple of weeks. The paper work had to be completed on the First National Lot that was included in the big lot which caused some delay. New Business: The "Historic Downtown Elk River" sign that currently resides at the corner of HwylO and Jackson Ave needs to be relocated. One side of the sign is peeling off, the other side appears OK. Some possible locations that were suggested to move it to were next to Kemper Drug and St Maximillians or by the Mural by the River. Wendy suggested that we consult with Lance Lindberg from the Historic Preservation Commission and see if he has any ideas. The sign must be moved prior to August when construction will begin on the Square. Downtown Parking Ordinance Changes: We reviewed the downtown parking ordinance proposed change. The group felt that we would be best served to have the ordinance amended further to specify resident parking to more specifically state "residents of the Brick Block will be issued resident parking permits and they shall be limited to (2?) spots per apartment. Wendy will forward that sentiment on to Michele McPherson and the City Council prior to the July 18th City Council Meeting. Chief Beahen had indicated that he would prefer not to enforce parking in the lot until construction is finished or a problem with unauthorized parking occurred. The group felt that it would be beneficial to businesses like McCoys if street parking limits would be enforced during construction. Traffic Flow Changes and Safety during Construction: Fire Chief Bruce West came and showed us a map that he and the City Planners and the construction people had worked on to manage traffic flow in downtown during construction. He said that construction would take place
