City of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />MEMOP, ANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />February 12, 2001 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Joint Meeting with Sherburne County Board <br /> <br />City Engineer Terry Maurer, Building/Environmental Administrator Stephen <br />Rohlf, and I will be in attendance at the joint City Council/County Board <br />meeting to help facilitate discussions on the various agenda items. Stephen <br />has a memo attached with a few comments on some of the agenda topics. Some <br />additional comments on the discussion items are as follows: <br /> <br />County Purchase of Wilson Property...This item has been through the <br />Planning Commission and will be discussed at the council level on March 19. <br />The commission actually recommended denial of the rezoning request, but was <br />supportive of the county purchasing and using this property for offices. The <br />draft Planning Commission minutes on this topic are attached for your review. <br /> <br />Northstar Corridor... As noted to the Council in January, MnDOT is taking <br />over management of this project. The transition of authority and responsibility <br />for the project from the Northstar Corridor Development Authority to MnDOT <br />is scheduled to be completed by March 26, 2001. The chair of the NDCA is <br />County Commissioner Betsy Wergin and she should be able to provide an <br />update on the status of the Northstar Corridor project. The city representative <br />on the NDCA is Mayor Stephanie Klinzing. <br /> <br />Legislative Issues... The current most pressing legislative issue that impacts <br />both the City and County is proposed changes in the personal property tax law <br />relating to the power plants/industry. The County has been very active in this <br />issue and will provide an update on this topic. <br /> <br />Streets...Hopefully County Engineer Dave Schwarting will be in attendance to <br />help with the "streets" discussion. Progress continues on the County Road 12 <br />project and on the County Road 33/Highway 169 temporary signal and <br />overpass project. Additionally, the signals along County Road 1 have recently <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone (763) 441-7420 · Fax (763) 441-7425 <br /> <br /> <br />
