Review Regular Council Agenda of February 12, 2018 – The agenda was 22 <br />reviewed and there were no changes. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Item 3A – Massage Therapy Licensing – City Clerk Bartell explained that staff is 25 <br />forwarding the requests for individual and enterprise massage therapy licenses. The 26 <br />process brings them forward for council consideration. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Item 6a – Brian Bourassa, WSB & Associates, reviewed the written report. This is the 29 <br />final payment for the 2015 Storm Water Management Program. He explained that the 30 <br />delay in finishing the project relates to a storm pond that did not have ice thick enough for 31 <br />equipment until just this past winter. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Item 6B - City Planner Larsen reviewed the recommendations. The city should have this 34 <br />easement in place because the road actually goes across Great River Energy’s property. 35 <br />They are thus granting an easement. There is also a fence located within the right of way 36 <br />for the easement and it is recommended that the city enter an agreement with Great River 37 <br />Energy regarding that fence. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Item 6C – Brian Bourassa, WSB & Associates, reviewed the written report. The two 40 <br />elements presented deal with the LaMotte Area and: a) receipt of a petition requesting 41 <br />that there be no water main installed as part of their street reconstruction project; and b) 42 <br />ordering the project and moving ahead without the water element. It was noted that there 43 <br />will be one water element included (safety related) to be funded through the city’s budget. 44 <br /> 45
