OLD BUSINESS

 

Land Exchange/Community Property Project: Ruth L. Carlson was not present to report.

 

Community Development Update:  There was no report.

 

Speed Hump Request-Gold Coast Road:  A Speed Hump Agreement was received from St. Louis County Public Works Department requesting signature and return.  The Board discussed the issue with continued concern on liability, lack of effectiveness, lack of support from the majority of the community, and whether or not this was a good use of tax payers’ money.  The Board will consider other options and will table signature of the agreement.  A call will be made to St. Louis County Head of Elections Paul Tynjala to see if an informational questionnaire regarding speed humps can be presented to voters at the Nov. 4th elections.   

 

Culvert:  The most recent communication received was a copy of an email from Marcus Hall, St. Louis County, to County Commissioner Mike Forsman stating that the County will add a line item and specification to their plan that will require the contractor to maintain the sanitary line during construction. Another line item will be added proposing that the Sanitary District will need to cover the cost of maintaining the line during construction not to exceed $5,000.  No action is required by the Board.
