51789.2 <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator <br />DATS: May 17, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: Administrator's Information <br />HIGHWAY 12 SAFETY IMPROVEMENT - As noted last time it is <br />antTcipated that MnDOT will be coming forward with a revised plan <br />and specifications. At this point it appears the primary concern <br />expressed as noted in the Attachment, is the realignment of North <br />Brown Road with Virginia. The persons on Virginia Avenue in Long <br />Lake are very concerned about this realignment. Mr. Rebers, as <br />noted in the past, is not in favor of the realignment but could <br />handle it with the development. As this letter is sent to Mr. <br />William Crawford at MnDOT it would be appropriate for the Council <br />to await taking any action. We will be communicating with Mr. <br />Crawford to determine direction, if any, MnDOT is undertaking <br />with regard to this issue. <br />1972 SHADYWOOD ROAD - Efforts continue to determine if the <br />individual has been actively feeding waterfowl on his property, <br />which he maintains has not been happening. <br />SPRING MANAGER'S CONFERENCE - This years Manager's Conference <br />featured a team of individuals from the Menninger Foundation in <br />Kansas who discussed issues related to group process, mid-life <br />stress, morale, ability to deal with change, and personal <br />relationships. This produced many insights for myself and I am <br />very grateful to the Council for the ability to have attended <br />this meeting. I feel the insights gained will assist in my <br />further efforts to improve my management abilities and in turn <br />benefit the organization. <br />HIGHWOOD STORM SEWER - Staff had hoped to have this included at <br />this meeting, however, one of the neighbors that is key to the <br />project is again out of town. <br />FERNDALE MARSH FIRE - At approximately 22:44 on Tuesday, May 16th <br />the marsh on Ferndale was ignited possibly by arson. Because of <br />the high dense growth in the marsh Wayzata Fire, in whose area <br />this transpired, appropriately called in Long Lake, Plymouth and <br />Minnetonka Fire to protect the various exposures of houses both <br />in Orono and Wayzata. They successfully extinguished the fire <br />with no loss to constructed property. (It is actually helpful <br />for the marsh to have burned off as this will allow new growth <br />to emerge.) <br />CAMP TEKO - As you may be aware Camp Teko has been contemplating <br />the construction of a new building on the site. They are holding <br />a meeting for the neighborhood on May 23, 1989, prior to their <br />submitting an application for the City, which would go through <br />Planning Commission and Council for review as a conditional use <br />permit.
