Review Plans for Improvements on CSAH 13 (Inwood Ave.):Washington County Public Works Don Theisen, Deputy Director, and Chris Thornton, Design Coordinator, presented a preliminary plan for the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 13 Safety and Pavement Project. Residents voiced their safety concern with excessive speed and suggested having police patrol the area to deter speeders. Residents also worried about the portion of the road that would be widened during the reconstruction. They also contended that too many drivers use County Road 13 instead of Highway 5--a problem which could be intensified if the proposed county comprehensive plan passes, The Council opposed the new Washington County Comp Plan proposed to extend County Road 13 to Highway 5. The Washington County Public Works will hold an open house for residents to discuss their concerns and ideas about the road construction from 5 to 8 p.m. on June 28th at City Hall. C. Letter from Dick Johnson, 8896 Lake Jane Trail regarding MAC The City Council received a letter from Dick Johnson, MAC member, acknowledging Bill Wacker's efforts in discovering the City was being charged by NSP (approx. $1,000 per month) for the electricity used to power the blowers for the methane removal system that the County installed at the landfill site on Jamaica Ave. The Finance Director has a formal written request in to NSP for a reimbursement of the overcharges (as opposed to a credit) and the money will be credited to the Fire Department's budget.
