Mayor's Report May 16. 1995 <br />On May 10, I chaired the Area Elected Officers meeting for School District <br />622, held at the Lake Elmo City Hall. <br />Major points covered: <br />The work on the new North St, Paul High School was progressing well and to <br />schedule. <br />The North St. Paul City Council did not like the financing contingencies <br />implicit in new ice arena plan to be located in Oakdale. These would tend to <br />delay the project, so that the North St. Paul Council had decided to build its <br />own independent arena. They had built the first one, and North St. Paul had <br />benefited. Oakdale could do the same, and North St. Paul would provide <br />advisory assistance to the building of a second arena in the Tartan High area. <br />Maplewood: Dayton's and Mervyn's were going to be located in Maplewood <br />Mall, the construction work at Hwy. 36, 11th Street and White Bear Avenue <br />junction was progressing following purchase and relocation of some of the <br />homes. This will be the site of a new Cub Food store and a Home Depot. The <br />trail system around Wicklander Pond was being finished - it would join in <br />with the Munger Trail. <br />Oakdale: The Redevelopment Ordinance for the upgrade of local businesses <br />had been passed, A tree ordinance had been created to enable Oakdale to <br />become a Tree City. They were closing on the golf course agreement, and <br />developing a bike and walking trail along Stillwater Boulevard, A Super <br />America filling station would be located on the North side of Helmo Avenue <br />and 10th Street.. <br />Washington County: Concern was expressed over the need for home owners <br />to ensure that their garbage haulers were using the NRG plant in Cottage <br />Grove rather than hauling the trash out of state. The system was very <br />efficient in that only 8% of garbage currently delivered to the site had to be <br />landfilled. But the viability of the Washington County contract depended on <br />using the NRG .facility to the fullest extent, as the costs charge to the county <br />were on a dump or pay basis. Consequently, if less material is delivered than <br />contracted, the cost per ton to the County would escalate. <br />Woodbury: <br />
