City Administrator Pending Tasks & Projects Special Election. Ramsey County is taking the lead on this matter yet there are still some tasks that Mounds View will need to do. While the special election will be held in the Community Center (all four precincts will vote there) the early voting and absentee processing will be done by the County at the Ramsey County library in Shoreview. The Charter does require that we post notice of the election in the newspaper and that a copy be posted publically in each precinct at least 15 days in advance. Joe Mansky is our contact at the County. Also, by or before October 15, the County will send us a draft resolution which we'll need to approve relating to the general election in 2018. Staff contacts are Mark Beer and the Interim Administrator. 2. Round -about Signage. We are waiting on a response from MnDOT as to what kind of signage, or height, they would permit within the roundabout. There is buried conduit under the roundabout to permit electric and water to serve the interior. Beth Engum from Ramsey County and Mark Lindeberg from MnDOT are our contacts. Lawrence Sign has prepared a couple drafts. (Steve Rutkowski is our contact at Lawrence, SRutkowskitcar,lawrencesign.com, 651.488.6711.) Don Peterson will be the staff contact initially, although the Interim Administrator could take the lead on working with the outside agencies and coordinating final design activities. 3. Crossroad Pointe, The City owns approximately 4.25 acres at corner of Mounds View Boulevard, County H2 and Edgewood Drive. We had a predevelopment agreement with the Beard Group in 2016 for market rate apartments but they failed to move the project forward. Three developers presented proposals at the Aug 21 work session, and the Council selected the proposal submitted by INH Group. Their proposal included 168 units of market rate housing and 20,000 sf retail. Part of the retail was proposed to be a gun club and shooting range, although the developer indicated if the Council ultimately rejected that component, the project was still viable. Public open house for the development proposal is tentatively scheduled for September 18. Staff contacts are Planner / Supervisor Jon Sevald and Business Development Coordinator Brian Beeman. 4. Utility Service Partners. The Council agreed to allow USP market their sanitary service line and indoor plumbing programs to our residents. The next step is to approve the marketing agreement which Kennedy & Graven is presently reviewing on our behalf. Depending upon their turnaround and then negotiation with USP for any modifications, the agreement could be scheduled for review and consideration at the Sept 11 Council meeting, although Sept 25 would seem more likely. I would recommend that a few staff people (Mark, Nyle, Brian?) review proposed marketing materials to ensure there is nothing misleading or inaccurate going out to our residents. Bethlehem Baptist Church. For years I have coordinated efforts with Vince Johnson, Pastor for Outreach at BBC. Twice a year they ask us for funding opportunities and twice a year we ask Public Works, the Parks and Rec Commission and the YMCA to develop a list of possible programs or projects that would fit with the BBC's spirit of supporting the community. Pastor Johnson has already reached out to me for second half 2017 ideas and am hoping to provide these to him before I leave. BBC would like to make a determination and have something for the Council to consider in September. Mark and/or Nyle could coordinate this when I'm gone.
