CounciImember Trude stated she had a couple of changes. The first is on page six, sixth line from the bottom, they should strike the word "federal" and replace it with "recent". Page seven, third line "COi:lfloi!" should be stricken and "Commission" should be placed in there. CounciImember Jacobson stated on the first page, third line from the bottom, the word "~" should be stricken and insert "~" and "Blffiker" should be replaced with "Hanson". CounciImember Jacobson stated on page four, two thirds of the way down, it stated "CounciImember Trude asked ifthe dates were changing, not the parameter". CounciImember Trude stated this was about the sewer plan and she asked if the onlythirig that changed were the dates of the sewer staging and none of the lines or boundaries of where they have MUSA changes so that is correct and what 0 she talked about. She thought they should insert "... the dates for the proposed MUSA were changing, not the perimeter of the MUSA". CounciImember Jacobson stated on page five, the fourth paragraph, the sentence "Councilmember Jacobson stated it should show" does not make sense. He thought the intent was that there were some changes in the projections for the Metropolitan Council and he indicated that their plan should show those changes. CounciImember Jacobson stated on page six, fourth line from the top, they should remove "fme balanoe". Page seven, second paragraph from the bottom, the sentence reads "Mayor Gamache suggested hiring the applicant earlier" and he thought the Mayor suggested appointing the member earlier. Mayor Gamache agreed. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Trude, approval ofthe Minutes as indicated above. Motion carried unanimously. May 1,2007, Regular Meeting: Correct as amended. CounciImember Trude stated on page 5, line 31, strike "dark" and insert "highlighted". Page 6, line 3 she thought the sentence that starts with "before a sign" should be struck because it is not accurate. Page 8, there should be another bullet point around line 29 indicating the topic would be "County 0 Application for Federal Funds". Page 9, line 30, the sentence should be "to see this happen without developing a policy first because it is a rare event". Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, approval of Minutes as indicated above. Motion carried unanimously. 0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - May 15, 2007 Page 3 CONSENT ITEMS Item 2 Approval of Claims Item 4 Approve Resolutions ofSupportlCSAH 116, CSAH 78 & CSAH 9 (See Resolution R066-07, R067-07, R068-07) Item 5 Accept Petition/Order Feasibility Reportl07-25/2756 - 134th Lane NW/SS & WM (See Resolution R069-07) Item 6 Accept Petition/Order Feasibility Reportl07-26/2766 - 134th Lane NW/SS & WM (See Resolution R070-07) Item 7 Accept Petition/Order Feasibility Reportl07-27/14124 Crosstown Blvd NW/SS & WM (See Resolution R071-07) Item 8 Declare Cost/Order Assessment Roll/02-33/Andover Station North (Jay Street Construction) (See Resolution R072-07) Item 9 Approve Resolution/Sidewalk and Trail Inspection and Maintenance Policy (See Resolution R073-07) Item 10 Approve Time ExtensionlMeadow Creek School Temporary Classrooms/3037 0 Bunker Lake Blvd (See Resolution R074-07) Item 11 Approve Temporary 3.2% Malt Liquor License/Andover Lions (Fun Fest) Item 12 Approve Excluded Bingo Permit/Fun Fest Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, approval ofthe Consent Agenda as read.

Councilmember Trude stated there was discussion about staff working on the Comprehensive Plan report and some of the questions they had were about the population figures and how the 0 Met Council was projecting their household sizes going down.
