DR. ERICK ENGLUND, 2455 SHADYWOOD ROAD – REVIEW BUILDING PERMIT <br />APPLICATION FOR EXTERIOR MODIFICATIONS <br /> <br />This item had been removed from the Agenda as it required a variance. <br /> <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />McMillan reported she and City Administrator Bill Wells attended a Metro Cities function last <br />Thursday where a presentation was given on state budget trends, which was very informative. <br /> <br />Bremer stated a Ramsey County resident told her that his taxes had gone up 25 percent on his winter <br />home and also increased on his summer home in Mound. <br /> <br />Murphy and White noted their taxes have also increased. <br /> <br />Rahn stated his neighborhood has also experienced a tax increase. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the Orono School building referendum went into effect this year, which accounted for <br />the biggest increase on her tax statement. <br /> <br />Murphy indicated he spoke with the Highway 12 project manager, who indicated they have <br />experienced some communication problems with the contractor but that they are still anticipating a <br />portion of the new Highway 12 corridor will be open the second or third week of December. <br /> <br />Murphy suggested that the City develop a contingency plan in 2009 in the event the economy worsens <br />to the point where there is a severe economic collapse and the City experiences a dramatic decrease in <br />revenue. <br /> <br />White stated he attended the November Planning Commission meeting and that the death of Dick <br />Kroeger has left a definite void on the Planning Commission and his presence will be sorely missed. <br /> <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 12/08/08 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 11/24/08 [Page 2 of 4]
