4. Motion to Authorize a Letter of Support for the Anoka County Highway Safety
Improvement Program Funding Application for Central Avenue and Gardena
Avenue.
APPROVED.
5. Motion to Authorize a Letter of Support for the Rice Creek Watershed District
Stabilization Grant.
Wally Wysopal,
City Manager, stated this is for application of a grant from the State of
Minnesota’s Clean Water Fund that will stabilize the bluffs along Rice Creek between Highways
47 and 65.
Mayor Lund
asked if this is in the public area only, such as Locke Park.
James Kosluchar
, Public Works Director, said it was his understanding that they want access
via the City’s property as well as a letter of support. The letter of support should indicate the
City is willing to work with them to give them access. It is city-owned property and an Anoka
County dedicated park. They are working with both entities on the project.
Mayor Lund
said he was wondering because there was no mention about any assessments for
private property.
Mr. Kosluchar
said it was his understanding that the funding package as is presented in the
agenda. It is what he received from Matt Kocian at the Rice Creek Watershed District.
Basically the Rice Creek Watershed District is paying a portion. They are also hopefully
receiving a grant from the Clean Water Fund which is a state-authorized grant through the Board
of Soil and Water Resources. Those are the only funding elements at this point.
APPROVED.
