Elie* ii 2;,4714 <br />7/ <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 <br />www.ci.little- canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM• Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: November 19, 2004 <br />RE: Resolution Regarding MnDot's Right -of -Way Maintenance <br />MAYOR <br />Michael 1. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Jim LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />Bill Blesener <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached is a proposed resolution staff would recommend you adopt to address the issue of <br />MnDot's poor maintenance of their rights -of -way within our community. This resolution was <br />initiated by the City of Fridley due to their concerns over this issue. A number of other cities are <br />adopting a resolution very similar to ours. <br />Over the past number of years, MnDot has been doing less and less maintenance of their <br />property on a statewide basis. In Little Canada, we have experience damaged fence sections that <br />do not get repaired, and a lack of mowing and tree care at the various interchanges within the <br />City. City staff has attempted to supplement the maintenance of the freeway interchange by <br />removing dead trees and periodic mowing of the most visible areas. However, even more work <br />is necessary to prevent this area from creating a poor appearance for the community. In the final <br />analysis, this should be MriDot's responsibility or they should reimburse us for the cost to do it <br />ourselves <br />
