CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION August 22, 2016 DRAFT 2 increased cost. Mayor Reinert remarked that the city would then get a heavier truck at 42 less than the cost; the city has already decided to make the purchase so it makes sense and 43 it is good timing before the trucks were complete. 44 Council Member Rafferty received information on the specifications of the vehicles. He 45 asked for more information on what additions will be included. Director Swenson 46 explained that the trucks will be larger and able to carry more equipment. 47 Staff indicated that formal council action isn’t required for the upgrade. 48 3. Review Regular Agenda 49 50 Regarding Item 6A, Mayor Reinert expressed his concern overall for the MnPass concept; 51 he isn’t supportive of designating special lanes. Staff explained that the exclusive lanes 52 don’t actually enter Lino Lakes but since MnDOT is resurfacing the lanes into Lino 53 Lakes, they propose the installation of noise walls. Mayor Reinert suggested that the 54 council request that the city attorney prepare language that says Lino Lakes will allow 55 additional lanes but only if they are not specially designated. Council Member 56 Kusterman noted that the lanes aren’t actually entering the city, however. Mayor Reinert 57 indicated that he still would prefer that language; also he noted that the language in the 58 resolution states there is “no cost to the city at this time” and that is concerning to him 59 because it would seem to allow to costs in the future. 60 61 The time ran short so that other Community Development items couldn’t be reviewed. 62 63 The meeting was adjourned at 6:28 p.m. 64 65 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on 66 September 12, 2016. 67 68 69 70 71 Julianne Bartell, City Clerk Jeff Reinert, Mayor 72 73
