City Council meeting of August 20, 2001 <br />Page 7 <br />CITY HALL ANSWERING SYSTEM <br />Councilman Puleo expressed dissatisfaction with the answering system at City Hall, and felt that <br />contractors and residents would be better served if they had access to a "real" person when calling City <br />Hall. City Administrator Mike Ericson stated that the voice menu would be changed to better <br />accommodate the public. <br />DISCUSSION OF JD2 MEDIATION AGREEMENT <br />Councilman Puleo questioned whether the City had received a response from other agencies relative to <br />the mediation agreement for JD2. The City Administrator informed Councilman Puleo that he would <br />notify him and the Council as soon as had received any responses. Mayor Miron discussed the wetland <br />exemption public hearing held at the RCWD office on August 8, 2001. Mayor Miron, as well as <br />Councilmen Granger and Puleo attended this hearing. The hearing was continued until Wednesday, <br />August 22, 2001, with Councilman Puleo attending to represent the City. <br />HFD REQUEST TO MNDOT TO REMOVE BRUSH AND WEEDS a, 140TH STREET AND <br />TH61 <br />Fire Chief Joe McMahon notified staff of a potential emergency that exists on TH61 at the intersection <br />with 140`h Street. MnDOT officials have not trimmed back the brush and weeds at that intersection, <br />which has dramatically reduced the visibility for fire department emergency vehicles moving through the <br />area. Staff placed this item on the agenda for public informational purposes, with the understanding that <br />there will be cooperation from MnDOT and railroad officials to remove the brush and weeds. <br />Miron made motion, Petryk seconded, directing staff to draft a letter to MnDOT identifying the potential <br />hazard at 61 and 140'', and stating a reasonable time in which the City would expect some results. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR <br />City Administrator Mike Ericson updated the Council on a meeting held this day (August 20, 200 1) with <br />representatives of ISD #624 with regard to construction of an elementary school in the west part of the <br />City, north of CSAH8. He also informed the Council of an upcoming meeting with Washington County <br />on August 27, 2001, Hugo City Hall, with regard to preliminary plans for the design of CSAH8. <br />ADJOURN <br />Puleo made motion, Granger seconded, to adjourn at 9:45 pm. <br />All aye.
