Item No: 10D Meeting Date: July 12, 2004 Type of Business: Council Business City Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View City Council From: Kristin Prososki, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Appoint Council Representatives to the I-35W Visioning Task Force Introduction: Mn/DOT is beginning a visioning process to plan for potential future changes to Interstate 35W; specifically for the closing and improving of some of the Interstate 35W interchanges between Interstate 694 and State Highway 10. Mn/DOT has expressed a desire to include the Cities that are directly affected by the potential changes in the planning process. Discussion: Council Member Gunn and I attended a Joint Council Work Session for the cities of Mounds View, Arden Hills and New Brighton, at which Mn/DOT began explaining some of the potential changes to Interstate 35W. The improvements that were discussed at the Joint Council Work Session would not occur for many years, if ever, but it is important that the Cities affected by the changes be included early in the planning process. Before the close of the meeting, it was determined that for future planning meetings it may be best to form a task force made up of Council Members and a Staff Member from each City. It was mentioned that the Task Force could be comprised of two Council Representatives and one Staff Representative from Mounds View, Arden Hills and New Brighton. In addition, the City of Shoreview was invited to join the Task Force and it was suggested at the June 28, 2004 Mounds View City Council meeting that the City of Spring Lake Park be invited also. Recommendation: Appoint two members of the Council to represent Mounds View on the Task Force. Respectfully submitted, Kristin Prososki Planning Associate
