AGENDA ITEM 7F <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING DATE: January 12, 2004 <br />TOPIC: Consider Motion to Appoint Staff <br />Representative to Transportation Coalition <br />Work Group <br />VOTE REQUIRED: <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Simple Majority <br />Over the past 18 months, the City of Lino Lakes has been participating in a <br />process to coordinate planning of transportation infrastructure along I -35E with <br />the Cities of Hugo and Centerville. The process has since expanded to include <br />Columbus Township, City of Forest Lake, Anoka and Washington Counties, as <br />well as representation from the Minnesota Department of Transportation and <br />Metropolitan Council. <br />At the December 11, 2003 coalition meeting it was requested that each <br />participating organization appoint a staff representative to serve on a "Work <br />Group ". The 1st task of the group will be to finalize the work plan and Joint <br />Powers Agreement. Following acceptance of the work plan and JPA the work <br />group will be charged with performing the technical aspects of the process. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Since the process will involve both engineering and planning functions, staff is <br />recommending that the Community Development Director be appointed to the <br />work group with the intent that both the City Engineer and City Planner will <br />participate as necessary. <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to appoint the Community Development Director or his assigns to serve <br />as the City's staff representative to the Transportation Coalition Work Group. <br />• <br />
