5 YEAR GOAL PLAN <br /> Samantha and I have started to reorganize the 5 Year Goal Plan <br /> per Council direction at Wednesday evening's meeting. With a <br /> little luck, this document will be available by Monday. <br /> GROUNDBREAKING FOR SILVER LAKE POINTE APARTMENTS <br /> The groundbreaking for the senior apartments was held at 10: 30 <br /> a.m. on Wednesday, 2/8. A picture of the event was sent to the <br /> Bulletin to be included in next weeks paper. <br /> Tim C. <br /> Cathy Bennett has been at an Economic Development Seminar this <br /> week. <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> PARKS <br /> Equipment Specifications: Steve has been preparing <br /> specifications for the purchase of a parks truck, small mower and <br /> large mower. The large mower is the only one requiring a formal <br /> bid process. The truck will be purchased on the state bid. The <br /> small mower will be purchased after receiving price bids. <br /> Rink schedule: We have surveyed the neighboring communities and <br /> all will remain open throughout the Winter Break which is <br /> February 20-26. We are no exception. The weather has been cold <br /> and rink maintenance continues. We are expecting another arctic <br /> blast (according to the weather forecasters) and if this happens <br /> we will continue to flood.

Rink attendants will be <br /> scheduled only through February 26. This is one week over the <br /> budgeted time. Woodcrest Rink is the exception - it will close <br /> February 10. It has been an unusual winter. <br /> Pedestrian Bridge Update: Joyce and I met with MNDOT Grants & <br /> Aid last Friday to review the memorandum that is required for <br /> design approval. The process is somewhat time consuming since <br /> many agencies must be called for approval of the plans. Joyce <br /> has agreed to take on that part of the task. The other part is <br /> the preparation of a plan that outlines the specifics of the <br /> project. We received a copy of Washington County's memorandum <br /> regarding a trunk Highway project and will use this as our guide. <br /> In addition, we discussed what type of engineering that we should <br /> have for this project. A DESIGN/BUILD is one option and <br /> iridiVidual engineering is the other. After hearing our plans for <br />
