City Council Minutes <br /> February 4, 2020 <br /> Page9of11 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Jason Gorr provided an update that City Staff has been working with the Crow <br /> Wing County, City of Breezy Point, Ideal Township, and Jenkins Township. He <br /> stated that they discussed Akerson Road, Buschmann Road, Nelson Road, and <br /> Wild Acres Road. He said they talked about what they believed the standards <br /> should be if they improve the roads and if there was a possibility the County had <br /> any interest in the roads if they were built to a certain standard. He stated that <br /> Tim Bray, County Highway Engineer, stated he would endorse the County to <br /> consider taking over ownership if it was done to County standards. Mr. Gorr did <br /> also state to reach that standard it would be aggressive with the grubbing and <br /> expense that goes with it. <br /> He informed the Council the one recommendation that was made was to have a <br /> feasibility study done to identify improvements needed for City road standards, <br /> but comparatively to County state aid road standards. Mr. Gorr informed the <br /> Council that they are in the process of drafting a request for the Collaborative <br /> Road Project which will be presented at a future Council meeting. <br /> Discussion ensued about costs of the feasibility report and improvement of safety <br /> issues of the roads. Also discussed was the tax base and the amount of travel <br /> on these roads by the Pequot Lakes residents. <br /> 9.4 Letter of Apqreciation <br /> Nancy Malecha presented to the Council an appreciation letter from Jack <br /> Schmidt to the Public Works Department.
