Mounds View City Council November 22, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 13 Director of Public Works Ulrich stated this item is the consideration of Resolution 5391, approving the jurisdictional transfer of TH 10. He explained Highway 10 will eventually be turned back to Ramsey County, and this resolution completes that jurisdictional transfer with the City Council's approval. Director of Public Works Ulrich advised that MNDot will give the County approximately 1.28 million dollars, for the pavement rehabilitation, traffic signal upgrades, opticon that might be installed, and LED on all of the traffic lights on Highway 10. He explained that this money would also be utilized to address some minor safety concerns with regard to some of the intersections on TH 10, which primarily pertain to pedestrian crossings, and some safe areas in the middle of the intersections. Director of Public Works Ulrich indicated if the 1.28 million dollars is determined to be inadequate for what the County deems necessary for this work, they will request turnback funds from MNDot to complete the project, which is proposed to commence, and also be completed in 2001.

He suggested, in light of concerns that have been raised on all sides regarding broadcast policy, and which meetings are televised and which are not, he would recommend the Council implement a policy that requires all City committees, boards, commissions, or any groups that are subject to the Minnesota Open Meeting Law and utilize the City facilities, to be covered by the cable television broadcasts, subject to availability of the video and technical staff. He requested the Council consider this recommendation, and, if they so desire, direct City staff to craft a resolution to that end. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty.
