<br />Admin Report <br />May 14, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />County Road 10 Bridges <br />Reminder that the County Road 10 bridges over 35W will be removed the weekend of June <br />8, and they will be out of service until maybe November? MnDOT is replacing the bridges. <br />During the weekend of June 8th, 35W will be closed to allow for a more efficient and safe <br />removal of the bridges. <br /> <br />MCMA Conference <br />I recently attended the annual Minnesota City/County Management Association conference <br />in Nisswa. The sessions had a strong focus on mentoring, interns and “ethical leadership” <br />which the guest speakers spent time reinforcing. Ross Bernstein, Minnesota author and <br />sports fanatic, provided many analogies to ethical leadership using iconic Minnesota sports <br />legends and real-life stories about Herb Brooks and Harmon Killebew. He spoke <br />passionately about “doing the right thing” and leading by example, and all attendees came <br />away motivated, invigorated and refreshed. <br /> <br />Urban Land Institute MN Special Work Session <br />Reminder that the Council has scheduled a special work session on Thursday, June 14, at <br />6 pm to host the Urban Land Institute’s “Navigating the New Normal” round table <br />discussion. We’ve scheduled two-hours for the session and we hope to conclude with a <br />much better understanding of what’s before us from a development/redevelopment <br />perspective. While the meeting is of course “public” and anyone may attend, participation <br />will be limited to the Council members and members of the economic development and <br />planning commissions. More information regarding the ULI MN work shop is attached. <br />While the informal meeting will be recorded, because of the unknown format of the <br />meeting, it is not planned to be broadcast live but rather rebroadcast later. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />
