Reports of Staff October 21, 2016 Page 4 of 5 Silver Lake Park Trail: The Silver Lake Park Trail is expected to be completed by late fall. The trail was supposed to be completed last year; however the project was delayed due to the association negotiation process. Trail Segments: The city plans on completing the final trail segments this fall. Segment 6 will be placed from the Mounds View Boulevard & County Road H2 intersection in front of Moe’s to the corner of County Rd 10 & Woodale Drive. Segment 11 will run from Red Oak Drive near Western Bank to Groveland Road near Steve’s Appliances and will tie in with the newly constructed sidewalk at Groveland Road. With the completion of the new bridge over I -35 this fall, Mounds View will have continuous access to the county regional trail system. Community Center Sign: A new Community Center monument sign has been constructed with a similar look to the existing City Hall sign and placed closer to the street. The old sign which was showing signs of wear, was largely hidden from the roadway, and was using the old city branding. That sign has been removed. E.

The asking price has been reduced from $2.5 mill to somewhere between $1 to $2 mill. The lease is over $14 p/sq. ft. Many businesses like the location but can’t afford the price and/or require more parking spaces. The owner has been forced into paying the loan payments without income from the building and has indicated that he is accepting reasonable offers and is open to creative financin g. F.
