As Council is aware, this issue was first brought to Washington County more than five years ago, and over the past two years, staff has continued to work with county officials more closely to share with them the desire to have some reconstruction in place. Jay shared with Council the proposed reconstruction schedule, as well as the activities that will take place this summer. No formal Council action was taken. SCHEDULE NEXT I-35 W/E COALITION MEETING Due to a large number of City representatives that were unable to attend the April 18, 2007 I-35 W/E Coalition meeting, City staff had to cancel the meeting and requests Council select a new meeting date on which to hold the next I-35 W/E Coalition meeting. City staff did receive comments from Coalition members that they need more of a lead time to insure that engineering officials from both Washington and Anoka County are able to attend the meeting, since discussion regarding the engineering on the new interchange proposed for the I-35E/CR14 will take place. Haas made motion, Petryk seconded, to schedule the next I-35 W/E Coalition meeting on Thursday, June 14, 2007, at 6:30 pm, Hugo City Hall, to continue discussions of issues in common. All aye.
