Mounds View City Council June 24, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 11 Director Lee indicated that assessments needed to be discussed as well as the interest rate and repayment time period. Director Lee explained that Well Number 4 has higher than expected radium alpha and beta particles. He then indicated that tests will be conducted to see whether running the water through the treatment plant brings the numbers down to acceptable levels and also indicated the water from Well Number 4 could be combined with water from the other wells to bring the numbers down. Director Lee indicated he had met with the County Engineer to discuss signal issues along the corridor and it turns out that there are issues that cannot be solved easily by changing signals. He then indicated that he would continue to work with the County on the issues and noted that, while the County does have the funds to replace traffic signals, the City would be expected to fund the intersections under City jurisdiction. Director Lee indicated that the speed limit would be reduced to 35 mph on County Highway 10 during the mill and overlay project which is expected to be completed at the end of August. Council Member Thomas asked whether the County has done a study or investigation into why the rutting happened in the first place. Director Lee indicated it was a materials issue and no study had been done. He then said he could check with the County for further information. Council Member Thomas indicated that taking out four inches in several sections would barely cover the ruts. She then said she does not think it is a compression issue because it did not start out that thick. She further said that she would be interested in knowing the cause and having that addressed so it does not happen again. Director Lee indicated that MNDOT has revised its position on the noise wall to indicate that any proposal must include noise protection for Arden Park. He then indicated that Staff would be bringing the matter to Council for discussion. Director Lee indicated that Staff has been working with the school district on a revised transportation policy to ensure that safety issues are addressed. He then indicated that Edgewood Middle School is recommending looking into a pathway from Old County H to Edgewood on the south side. He further indicated the matter would be brought to a work session for discussion. Council Member Quick asked what the point of the pathway would be. Director Lee indicated there are a lot of students in the manufactured home park that are currently being bused that would now be charged a fee to ride the bus. Council Member Quick asked which side of the road.
