1 1 COUNCIL MEETING August 25, 1986 Page Seven Mr. Schumacher questioned whether the Council could adopt a tem- porary policy that violates City Code. Mr. Hawkins said there would be a problem enforcing the new policy and suggested the Code should be changed and specific standards should be set out. Mr. Bohjanen withdrew his motion and Mr. Bisel withdrew his second. After further discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to draft an ordinance amending the Sign Ordinance to include the changes outlined in the above policy with the stipulation that the ordinance would be for a six month period and that the proposed ordinance be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board for their review. Mr. Bisel sec- onded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. ENGINEER'S REPORT - RON STALLBERG A. Approving Plans - Main Street Improvement (Anoka County) Resolution #26 -86 - Mr. Jon Olson, County Highway Engineer appeared before the Council to answer questions the Council may have re- garding County plans to.upgrade Main Street. -He explained he had met with Don Volk, Ron Stallberg and Randy Schumacher on August 19th and two changes in the plans were discussed. The southeast corner of Main Street is being considered for tax increment renewal fi- nancing and Mr. Olson said the County would participate in the re- location of Ross' Bottle Shop so the reconstruction of this inter- section could be accomplished with the greatest degree of safety. Also Mr. Volk had requested that the ditch in front of City Hall be filled in and storm water drainage be accomplished by using curbs, gutters and storm sewers. Mr. Olson said this would be in- corporated into the plans. There was discussion of what will happen at the 35W freeway bridge since Main Street will be constructed to possibly handle four lanes of traffic in the future and the bridge is only a two lane bridge. Mr. Olson said the state would be responsible for upgrad- ing the bridge when this becomes necessary, but felt this was far in the future. Mr. Schumacher pointed out to the Council that the City will be responsible to finance approximately $43,000.00 of this project. Mrs. Anderson read Resolution #26 -86. Mr. Marier moved to adopt this resolution. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
