Public Works <br /> <br />9.1. Public Works Report <br /> <br /> Mayor Gardner asks about if the Coleman Drive project has been started yet. Mr. <br />Spiczka states it has been flagged as a potential new route for the road. The goal <br />is to try to lengthen the run, so it isn’t as steep coming up the hill. But that gives <br />an untraditional intersection. He states Widseth has staked it, and he has <br />reached out to the residents in the area for their opinions and they are still <br />working on different options of how to approach it. <br /> <br />9.2. Front/Main Street Study Scope <br /> <br /> Mr. Spiczka states they have a study that was previously approved, but it has not <br />been put into action yet. Today there will be no request for action. He states <br />there has been some traction in the planning for the parcels on Highway 371. <br />There were people that came to the Planning Commission meeting inquiring <br />about putting four or five commercial lots there. So, Mr. Spiczka is asking Council <br />how important it is to study that area and how much extra that would cost. <br /> <br />9.3. Billboard Discussion <br /> <br />Mayor Gardner recommends the replacement of the billboard sign due to it being <br />very worn and faded. States it is a bad look for our city. Replacement of the <br />billboard sign would make it through the winter. Mr. Spiczka states funding would <br />need to be approved. Mayor Gardner will move to authorize $1,500 from the <br />EDC marketing fund. <br /> <br />MAYOR GARDNER MOVED TO APROVE $1,500 FUNDING FOR BILLBOARD <br />SIGN REPLACEMENT FROM EDC MARKETING ACCOUNT.

He would like to see the lots sold either piece by piece or <br />get a realtor. Discussion ensued about the builder that was chosen backed out of <br />the project. Council Member Clement said he thought they agreed to get together <br />last month to discuss this. Discussion ensued about which way to go with the <br />lots.
