Resolution declared adopted. <br />The City Administrator reviewed his report dated October 17, 2014 <br />noting that MnDot is preparing to move forward with the second phase <br />of the MnPass Project along I -35E from Little Canada Road to Highway <br />96. MnDot is seeking municipal consent from the City for this project <br />and have asked for that consent as early as March of 2015. The City <br />Administrator felt that this was an opportunity for the City to address <br />some outstanding issues with MnDot. I -Ie noted that some of these issues <br />include adding back the sound barrier in front of Quebec apartments, <br />extending the sound barrier near the end of Twin Lake Trail, and securing <br />repayment for railing work on the Little Canada Road bridge. Blesener <br />suggested adding the repainting of the sound walls that were added as part <br />of the Unweave The Weave Project. The Administrator noted that the <br />repainting is supposed to proceed. MnDot took bids for that work, but <br />only one was received. 'they are now considering rebidding the work. <br />The Administrator reported that there was a recent meeting with MnDot <br />and both Little Canada and Vadnais Heights strongly expressed the need <br />to get the repainting work completed. <br />It was the consensus of the Council that a workshop meeting should be <br />scheduled with MnDot to discuss the second phase of the MnPass project <br />sometime after the November election so that new Council Members can <br />be involved in the process. The City Administrator indicated that he <br />would contact MnDot for possible workshop dates. <br />The City Clerk noted that it has been the Council's past practice to <br />reschedule its second meeting in November, which typically falls the <br />evening before Thanksgiving. <br />Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2014-10-202 - CANCELLING THE NOVEMBER <br />26, 2014 COUNCIL MEETING AND RESCHEDULING IT TO <br />MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2014 AT 7:30 P.M. <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Boss. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0).
