Well #4 178 <br />2. Street Fund 179 <br />3. Sound Wall 180 <br />4. Other Infrastructure 181 <br /> 182 <br />President Marty pointed out that if street projects are started, the sound wall can be started with 183 <br />spoils from the street projects. He stated he has also heard that Mn/DOT may be adding another 184 <br />lane to Highway 10 but, in the meantime, the City could start working towards a City berm. 185 <br /> 186 <br />Vice President Stigney stated if employees are added to Medtronic, it will increase traffic and 187 <br />suggested the option of an additional ramp be discussed with Medtronic. Economic 188 <br />Development Coordinator Backman explained that the traffic study did address the County Road 189 <br />J and airport area with regard to turn lanes. He explained that cars coming off Highway 10, use 190 <br />the turn lane onto County Road J. The study indicated that is a higher impact than traffic coming 191 <br />from Long Lake Road and turning onto County Road J. 192 <br /> 193 <br />Vice President Stigney stated that may be the model for the traffic study but he would like that 194 <br />issue raised with Medtronic. 195 <br /> 196 <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman advised that the cost estimates for the water and 197 <br />sewer extension will be received shortly and can be addressed at the January 23, 2006 EDA 198 <br />meeting. He asked about the priority of the trail or other terms. 199 <br /> 200 <br />Vice President Stigney questioned a statement in the staff report indicating: “If Medtronic wants 201 <br />the trail constructed, Medtronic would pay for the trail costs in excess of $150,000 allocated from 202 <br />the Park Dedication Fee. The City would pay the $150,000 and Medtronic would pay the sum 203 <br />above that.” He asked if Medtronic would just pull the funds from the park dedication fee that 204 <br />they have contributed. Economic Development Coordinator Backman stated that is correct and if 205 <br />the cost is in excess of $150,000, Medtronic would pay the difference. 206 <br /> 207 <br />9.
