July 9, 1984 <br />II. <br />Save as above amended, said Ordinance No. 2 shall stand as initially <br />IIIpassed and as previously amended. <br />This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its <br />passage and publication according to the City Charter. <br />Passed by the City Council this 9th day of July, 1984. <br />ATTEST: <br />7Lh <br />Edna L. Sarner, City Clerk <br />_l <br />enso , Mayor <br />Benjamin <br />CONSIDERATION OF PETITION FOR IMPROVEMENT OF ASH STREET (NORTH COUNTY <br />LINE) TO INCLUDE COST ESTIMATE <br />Mr. John Davidson told the Council he met at the corner of Ash Street <br />(North County Line and Foxtail Drive with Mayor Benson, White Bear <br />Township Board Chairman, County Engineers from Anoka and Ramsey <br />County, Don Volk, Engineer of White Bear Township and Homer Bruggeman, <br />developer relative to the condition of this particular portion of Ash <br />Street. <br />257 <br />Mr. Davidson explained the south half of the street is in Ramsey County <br />and was accepted by Ramsey County for maintenance.

If the street were to <br />be upgraded to City standards for a rural street of 24 feet, the cost <br />would be $21.30 per foot.

One is the part of the street presently under water <br />could be raised and blacktopped, but not improved any further. However, <br />
