Mayor and City Council Ron Moorsc, City Administrator ^ ^ July 8. 1994 Subject: Council Update Old Crystal Bay Road Bike/Hike Trail. I have developed a draft cooperative agreement for the constniction of the bike trail that reflects the phased development of the trail and the sharing of costs between the City and Hennepin Parks. I will be meeting again with Doug Bryant to review the draft agreement. The draft agreement will then be provided to Council for review. Spring Park Police Contract. The Spring Park City Council at its July 5 meeting our proposal for the provision of police services. All five members of the Council are su^witive of renewing the contract. They plan to take action on the contract at their first meeting in August. I plan to contact Mayor Rockvam to encourage the Spring Park Council to consider a multi-year agreement. Highway 12. A. Based on direction at the June 21 work session. Charlene Zimmer will provide additional information regarding the impact of turn lanes on County Road 15. She will also research the question of the avenues available to Mn/DOT if a city vetoes the corridor alternative selected by Mn/DOT, Charlene indicated that from her experience the avenue open to Mn/DOT was to have the Metropolitan Council make the determination. This process is an arbitration type process in which each party makes its case to the Metropolitan Council and the Met Council makes a determination. Charlene will determine whether this option is available to Mn/DOT for this project. B. Valerie Reinaas has notified me that Barton-Aschman, the traffic moiling consultant, will be sending socio-economic information to the City for review to ensure it is accurate before plugging it into their traffic model. Personal Watercraft Ordinance. The LMCD has developed a personal watercraft oidinance for l.akg Minnetonka that would go a long way towards solving the problem on Long Lake (please see attached). However, the DNR has indicated they do not support the ordinance because it is too restrictive. Since the DNR has jurisdiction oyer Long Lake, they will not approve that oidinance. Joe Lynch, the Long Lake City Administrator, and I will meet with the DNR and the Hennepin County Water Patrol to discuss what could be an accepuble solution. Lasher Landing. The LMCIT is representing the City in this action. They have made an initial response to the suit (attached).
