TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: JUNE 18, 2002
SUBJECT: LAST MINUTE CHANGES /INFORMATION FOR JUNE 18 CITY COUNCIL
MEETING
OLD BUSINESS
A. Please note that Kevin Manley contacted the City and does not want to amend the development
contract for Lot 16, Manley Addition, and is withdrawing this item from the agenda. Apparently his
customer purchased another lot and the Manley Brothers have designed a home to fit on Lot 16 as platted.
LEGISLATIVE/INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS UPDATE
At the June 4 City Council meeting, action was taken to appoint Director of Public Works Colbert as
the City's representative to the Cedar Avenue Corridor Transit Way Technical Committee and Senior
Planner Ridley as the alternate. There is also an appointment for the City Council to make to the
Management Committee, which is to be filled by a Councilmember with City Administrator Hedges as
the designated alternate.
The State Legislature has appropriated an additional $500,000 and the Metropolitan Council has
directed $400,000 to pursue Pha~~ II of the Cedar Avenue Transit Way Corridor Study, which will
include a scoping study leading to environmental work, feasibility studies of extending the transit way
south~to County Road 70 in Lakeville and southwest along I-35E/I-35 to County Road 46, alternatives
analysis, and the short range transit improvement study. The Management Committee will meet on a
quarterly basis while the Technical Advisory Committee will meet on a monthly basis. The meetings
are anticipated to begin in July and the study is anticipated to last approximately 18 months.
In summary, the City Councilmember appointed to the Management Committee would meet on a
quarterly basis and if their attendance is not possible, the City Administrator is the designated
alternative.
In further summary, the City took action to appoint representatives to the Cedar Avenue Corridor
Transit Way Study Committee as a Consent Action Item at the June 4 City Council meeting, however,
the Council needs to acknowledge who will be serving on the Management Committee.
ALAN MILLER
:11an Miller, Chairperson of the Burnsville/Eagan Telecommunications Commission, has asked for
three to five minutes to update the City Council on the status of the Cable Franchise Sale that is
currently being negotiated. The City Council can either address this under
Legislative/Intergovernmental Affairs or under Visitors to be Heard. Also if there are any questions
regarding the request for the Telecommunications Chair to attend the National Conference this fall, Mr.
Miller would be able to answer those questions and the rationale for his attending the conference.
However, this was not the reason he called and wanted time on the agenda.
JULY 4~ PARADE
If any member of the City Council is contemplating riding in the 4`'' of July Parade, please contact Mira
and she will forward your request to the July 4~' Association.
Thomas L. Hedges
City Administrator
