WATERTOWN ROAD AND STUBBS BAY ROAD FEASIBILITY STUDY, Continued) <br /> <br />Struve noted the City does not have any current traffic counts from Watertown. <br /> <br />McMillan asked what the next step would be and when the City Council should revisit this proposal. <br /> <br />Martini stated they are planning on bringing the draft facility plan to the City Council sometime in July <br />and the City Council can determine which direction they would like to proceed in at that time. <br /> <br />Struve stated if the Council decides to go forward at that time with the project in 2015, which should give <br />enough time for Bolton & Menk to complete the plans and specifications. <br /> <br />McMillan suggested the feasibility study be posted on the City’s website with a note that the City Council <br />will be revisiting this item in August. <br /> <br />The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT, CONTINUED <br /> <br />Struve reported the Public Works Department has been busy fixing potholes the past two weeks. <br /> <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Levang reported she and the Mayor attended a NEMO workshop, which stands for Nonpoint Education <br />for Municipal Officials. The workshop was sponsored by the University of Minnesota and is designed to <br />help government officials understand water quality. Levang stated she found the workshop very helpful <br />in understanding how stormwater is managed and that she is looking forward to attending the other two <br />workshops in July and September. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the City Council has received some emails regarding docks at public beaches and that <br />she would recommend the Park Commission discuss that at their July meeting. McMillan stated she <br />would like some follow-up on the issue so the City Council knows if the City is on the right direction at <br />each park. <br /> <br />McMillan stated the Star Tribune had a nice write-up on the Navarre Community Initiative and their drive <br />encouraging people to donate their extra hostas and lilies for planting at the Navarre Park on June 7. <br />McMillan reported she received a call regarding fishing on East Long Lake Road. One of the concerns <br />raised was that people were parking off the road and creating erosion issues. Currently the road is posted <br />no parking. McMillan stated in her view the City Council should look at that a little more thoroughly <br />since it is her belief that people are supposed to park at Summit Beach and not on the roadway. McMillan <br />noted the police cannot ticket the cars if they are off the road. <br /> <br />Printup commented he is surprised there is sufficient room to park off the road in that area. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated there is one spot on what is likely private property that people might be utilizing.
