<br />ADMINISTRATOR REPORT <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />Mounds View Chiropractic Good idea, as this is a huge problem for us. We <br />have customers that miss their appointments or are <br />late due to the confusion. <br />Abbey Carpet Can’t it be named Coon Rapids Boulevard? That <br />way it would be the same all the way through into <br />Anoka. We are OK with MV Boulevard too. <br />Boy Scouts of America Good idea, we have customers who have problems <br />finding us. We aren’t sure if we’re supposed to call <br />the roadway Hwy 10, County 10, County Rd 10, Hwy <br />10 NW, etc. <br />AmericInn Good idea—we lose business because people can’t <br />find us. Would be an expense to change our <br />marketing materials however. <br />Lucky’s Gas Station Good idea <br />McDonalds Good idea <br />Days Inn Indifferent, we don’t really care, but it sounds like a <br />good idea. <br />Arepa Bite Munds View Boulevard would make more sense but <br />we would like to know because we want our mail <br />delivered and we need to advertise the correct <br />address. <br /> <br />Based on the above responses, there seems to be an overwhelming majority in support of <br />the change, although a few of the businesses indicated some indifference. Only one <br />business owner expressed a desire to NOT change the name to Mounds View Boulevard. <br />I have asked Brian to also confirm with the Post Office that it would continue to deliver mail <br />to residents and businesses during the transition regardless of the address used. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Comprehensive Plan Update <br /> <br />Planner Jon Sevald is putting together a framework for how the City <br />could potentially proceed with our Comprehensive Plan update <br />process. The update is due to the Met Council by the end of 2018, <br />which means we need to make some decisions soon as to how the <br />update will be handled, and to what extent outside assistance will be <br />needed. The previous update required the assistance of a GIS <br />consultant (MFRA) and engineering assistance (Bonestroo) which <br />totaled a little more than $10,000. We intend to budget $20,000 in <br />2017 for the Comprehensive Plan activities, but it could be more <br />depending upon additional options the Council may deem important, <br />such as a community wide survey. Jon intends to make a presentation to the Council at <br />the June work session to seek input and direction so that we may begin working on the <br />update. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br />
