Resolution No. 97-2 requesting "No Truck Traffic" on 30th Street Tom Prew reported at the informational meeting held In December, the residents on 30th Street complained about the number of trucks which use that street as a short cut to the Old Village area. In the past MN/DOT has rejected requests to prohibit trucks on Municipal State Aid Streets such as 30th Street. Prew recently was told by MN/DOT that this is an issue that they may be reviewing and suggested that if the City would like trucks prohibited from 30th Street, we should submit a resolution requesting this. A map should be submitted to show alternative routes.

This Interconnection would provide both the Old Village's water system and Cimarron's water system with a backup water supply. Tom Prew recommended at the same time studying an interconnection with the Lake Jane Area water system for the same backup use. This interconnection would be a shorter length, but would require an amendment to our agreement with Oakdale. The estimated costs to complete this study is $7,500.00 which includes surveying, water system modeling, and public hearings. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNL MINUTES JANUARY 7, 1997 6 WS/P Hunt/John - to authorize the City Engineer to prepare the water systems interconnection study at a cost not to exceed $7,500.00 which will come out of the General Fund.

Since 1979, TKDA has provided engineering services for the City in a professional and cost-effective manner, and at a level commensurate with the desires of the City, TKDA would like to continue providing those services as your City Engineer in 1997.
