Item # 7.1. <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Lori Johnson, City Administrator <br />DATE: October I, 2007 <br />SUBJECT: TH 101169 Corridor Coalition Update <br />In December 2000, the City Council authorized the city to join the Highway 10 Corridor <br />Coalition which was a newly formed group of cities including Coon Rapids, Anoka, Ramsey, <br />Dayton, and Anoka County. The coalition was formed to "jointly and cooperatively plan far <br />and maximize the opportunities for sub-regional transportation in transit development, <br />quality growth, and diversification along TH 10 through a system of collaboration." The city <br />has been a member of the Coalition since its inception, and $4,750 is included in the budget <br />fox mcmbership in 2008. We did not discuss this item in detail during our budget discussions <br />because in the past it has been assumed that the city would continue its membership. <br />However, because notice must be given to the Coalition by December 1 if a member <br />chooses not to continue membership, it is timely to have a discussion on this soon if the <br />Council has any question about continuing membership. <br />As you know, Elwyn Tinklenberg and his consulting firm the Tinklenbexg Group axe the <br />consults working with the Coalition. If the Council would like to discuss future plans fox the <br />Coalition and items on the Coalition's upcoming work plan fox next year, I will arrange to <br />have Mx. Tinklenbexg come to a future Council meeting. The most recent Board minutes <br />and agenda axe attached fox your information. <br />
