this bridge (including the hopes that it will be a unique structure that is special to Mounds View, is very attractive and a type of focal point of the community) they strongly suggested the engineering services that will provide flexibility to the plan. The DESIGN/BUILD would be a boiler plate type of bridge without any options for uniqueness. This requires the contracting of an engineering firm for the project. They highly suggested that the engineering services be bid to get the best price. There are many firms available - they provided us with firms that they believe are very reputable. Staff will be preparing an RFP for pedestrian bridge engineering services. This project should have input from the Hwy 10 committee and others because it will be the first project along Hwy 10. The type of light structures, the color of the bridge, the ramp entrances, etc. should be chosen with the idea that they will match other facilities along Hwy 10 in the future such as lights, banners, color schemes, landscaping, etc. We certainly don't want a hodge podge of stuff along Hwy 10 and this being a prominent fixture, will be the most visible. We need to make sure that it is attractive, functions well and that we can be proud of it. CABLE TV: Jerry Skelly Jr. prepared a grant proposal for additional equipment that will assist with user friendly information gathering by residents who have a telephone and CABLE TV. Once we have all the necessary equipment, residents will be able to use a menu-driven program to access information regarding upcoming senior citizen trips for example - or water flushing schedules, steps of trimming your trees, compost pile times and dates, city hall meetings, pre-school program options, etc. It's a great system which many cities already offer. GOLF COURSE: The new double sided sign is up at County Road J and Coral Sea Street. Kurt said that he has noticed many more cars circling the road taking a look at the golf course. We have been working on the golf brochures and information regarding leagues and fees. A mailing list of interested persons has been prepared. Information will be sent to all inquiries. Lesson information will follow after we have the golf instructor on board. Final information and course picture was sent to Golf Magazine Digest. We are very anxious to get our hands on the magazine because we are one of four new courses featured on the front cover. The magazine is scheduled to be out the last part of February. Mary S.
