Mayor Coughlin stated he had attended an I-35W Corridor Coalition meeting with Community • Development Director Jopke. He stated this was a substantial meeting, which focused distinctly upon certain elements of the I-35 comdor, and what could possibly be done to redevelop areas of this corridor, including Mounds View. He stated an item brought forward by one of the meeting facilitators was that due to the City's wide right-of--way on what is now called County Road 10, there is some possibility of redevelopment of some of that right-of--way into additional business parcels. He stated, however, it would require a significant undertaking and commitment by the City and the I-35 Corridor Coalition to accomplish this. He stated the Metropolitan Council has indicated they are willing to underwrite, by several millions of dollars, some efforts of redevelopment within the entire corridor. He stated both he and Community Development Director Jopke would be attending several more meetings in this regard, including an all day lock-in meeting..

He expressed his apologies to Council Member Marty, and explained that, due to the back to back scheduling of the meetings he had earlier attended, he arrived at the Parks and Recreation meeting just as they had adjourned.

He stated there are times a final bill coming before the Governor is radically different than how it originated. He stated it is the hope of those people pushing for a Single House Legislature, to reduce the amount of "pork barrel" projects that are added to the bills in the Conference Committees. He stated the information he had received at this meeting was available for the Council Member's review, and was located on the Council/Mayoral desk in the office. Mayor Coughlin stated he had met with Representative Haake, and discussed wide ranging issues, including taxes on city purchases, and the ongoing push to a legislative end to the airport noise problems. Mayor Coughlin stated the renaming of County Road 10 had come forward at the I-35 Corridor Coalition meeting. He suggested renaming the road Mounds View Boulevard. He noted this would require the acceptance of the surrounding communities. He inquired if the Council would consider directing staff to pursue this matter, and discuss the renaming with other cities and their administrators. Council Member Marty stated he would be agreeable to this. Council Member Thomason stated . she was agreeable, as long as it was not confused with Mounds View Drive.
