NA I�ARRE APRIL 8 MEETING—DRAFT AGENDA, Continued) <br /> The draft agenda for the April 8 Navarre Community Meeting will include the following items: <br /> crosswalk alternatives, lighting options update, sidewalk conditions inventory, grant opportunities update, <br /> and NCI comments. <br /> Levang asked if Jim Grube provided any information on safety dollars. <br /> Gaffron indicated he has not provided anything to date but that he did indicate they are planning on doing <br /> a review of the accident history of that area. <br /> McMillan asked if the Navarre Initiative Committee said anything about a Navarre cleanup day. <br /> Gaffron stated when he met with them a few weeks ago, Ralph Kempf had discussed the fact that they <br /> would like a cleanup day for Navarre. Gaffron indicated he was told that Orono would not have any <br /> resources to hold a separate one in Navarre but that the Navarre residents are welcome to bring their items <br /> to Orono on their cleanup day. <br /> Levang asked if that item should be included on the agenda. <br /> Gaffron indicated Ralph Kempf would be able to bring that item up during the NCI comment section of <br /> the meeting. <br /> McMillan commented she has had an opportunity to walk some of the sidewalks in Navarre and for the <br /> most part they appear to be in pretty good shape. <br /> Gaffron indicated the sidewalks on the north side also appear to be in good shape but that he has not had a <br /> chance to walk the sidewalks on the south side. <br /> Levang asked if Staff has any clue on how much activity there has been on the Navarre section of the <br /> website. <br /> Gaffron indicated he will speak with the City Clerk to see if that can be determined. <br /> Printup noted the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has grant opportunities available through May 31 <br /> for public and private properties and that that perhaps is something that the Navarre Community Initiative <br /> could look into. <br /> Gaffron stated Staff can look into that to see what opportunities are available. <br /> PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT <br /> *7.
