Yes,
mayor
and
council,
there
are
actually
two
forfeited
items
on
the
agenda
tonight.
So
number
seven
would
be
setting
a
public
hearing
for
the
reassessment
of
the
property
that
sold
in
2021,
so
the
assessments
that
were
cancelled
and
then
those
properties
were
resold
to
get
them
back
on
the
tax
roll
in
those
assessments
to
be
reassessed
and
then
the
next
one
just
addressing
them
at
both
times.

J
Next
year,
in
2023,
we're
planning
to
reconstruct
first
street
northwest
because
of
its
proximity
to
the
downtown
takes
a
lot
more
planning
than
a
normal
project.
So
we're
looking
to
get
started
with
things.
Early
major
items
in
that
roadway
are
a
lot
of
underground
infrastructure
that
we
really
need
to
plan
closely.
J
Another
unique
item
is
quest
is
located
adjacent
to
first
street
by
st
olaf.
So
there's
a
lot
of
underground
telecommunications
in
this
stretch,
but
before
you
tonight
is
a
request
to
hire
whks
to
review
our
signal
lights
in
this
area,
we
have
a
signal,
light
located
on
1st
street
and
4th
avenue
northwest.
J
We
also
have
a
unique
intersection
near
first
drive
and
fifth
place
as
it
starts
to
go
down
the
hill
toward
the
swimming
pool.
That
intersection
is
part
of
this
project
and
we
want
to
review
that
as
well
as
take
the
opportunity
to
review
a
couple
signal
lights
on
main
street.
So
this
involves
a
review
of
four
intersections
to
determine,
what's
the
proper
use
and
and
type
of
control
for
those
intersections,
if
it's
a
four-way,
stop
two-way
stop
or
signal
light.
A
That'll
be
very
interesting.
I
know
some
folks
have
already
approached
me
in
this
on
the
signal
lights
being
removed.
At
least
one
of
them
downtown
are
favorable
to
it
and,
as
I
listened
to
that
velocity
guy
prior
to
that,
I
wouldn't
even
have
looked
for
it,
but
now
that
I'm
actually
sitting
at
a
stop
light
with
no
one
else,
yeah
thinking.
Maybe
this
could
be
a
stop
sign
and
then
so
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
how
that
comes
back.
D
A
J
We
have
a
trail
planned
for
oakland
avenue
west
to
get
out
by
ford
town,
and
a
small
portion
of
that
trail
is
planned
to
connect
to
the
I-90
ramp
and
we
get
out
into
mndot
right-of-way,
so
anytime,
we're
working
in
the
mndot
right-of-way.
They
require
us
to
enter
into
a
limited
use
permit
with
them
as
they
as
they
regulate
their
right
of
way
very
closely.
So
this
is
a
document
that
we
would
request.
J
Council
approval
to
allow
us
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
mndot
for
a
limited
use
permit
to
create
a
a
leg
kind
of
into
the
mndot
right-of-way,
which
will
then,
when
mndot
reconstructs
the
bridge
over
I-90
at
oakland,
avenue
west.
That
bridge
will
have
a
trail
on
it
and
a
pedestrian
trail
on
the
south
side
of
it.
And
this
it
will
connect
in
here
to
this
future
trail
that
we
plan
on
constructing.
J
It'll
be
a
combination,
we'll
try
to
separate
it
and
have
a
standalone
trail
wherever
we
can,
but
right
in
front
of
the
old
holiday
dodge.
It's
gonna
have
to
be
a
lane
added
on
to
the
road
there.
Just
isn't
enough
room
there
and
grade
separation
makes
it
very
difficult
to
have
a
separate
trail.
Okay,
thank
you.
