From the Desk of <br /> Sandy Peine <br /> TO: City Council <br /> DATE: June 28, 2005 <br /> SUBJECT: Hwy 371 <br /> The City contacted Ken Hasskamp a couple of months ago to talk <br /> about possible funding to help the City address some of the <br /> Highway 371 needs. Ken Hasskamp is an assistant to Congressman <br /> Oberstar and has an office in Brainerd City Hall. Safety issues <br /> were also discussed at the meeting. Mr. Hasskamp informed the <br /> City that there may be funding available for the City. <br /> A couple of weeks ago, Congressman Jim Oberstar stopped at the <br /> Trailside Park while biking along the trail. While the Congressman <br /> was present, the Mayor talked about the park improvements and <br /> the fact that the City will need financial help when the highway <br /> goes through town. <br /> Following that meeting, I was contacted by Jim Oberstar's Field <br /> Assistant, Melissa Samuelson, regarding the Highway. She <br /> indicated that Mr. Oberstar is very concerned with safety issues <br /> when the Highway goes through town. <br /> Following that meeting, Melissa contacted us to let us know that <br /> Mr. Oberstar has been in contact with MnDOT in regard to the <br /> safety issues. <br />
