Councilmembers present: Sheri Bukkila, Don Jacobson, Mike Knight and Julie Trude Councilmember absent: None Also present: City Administrator, Jim Dickinson City Attorney, Scott Baumgartner Others PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 0 RESIDENT FORUM No one wished to address the Council. AGENDA APPROVAL Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously. APPRO V AL OF MINUTES October 19,2010, Regular Meeting: Correct as written. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to approve the minutes as indicated above. Motion carried unanimously. October 26,2010, Workshop Meeting: Correct as amended. Councilmember Trude stated on page 3, they were talking about the widening of Bunker Lake 0 Boulevard and ih Avenue and around lines 10, 11, 12, there are some comments about Mr. Berkowitz and the noise wall and she thought the second sentence is inaccurate. There was quite a lengthy discussion about what would be a liability or responsibility of the City and what would not and there was something to do with the age of the plat and the homes and whether or not the City would need to build a wall or if the County would. Mr. Dickinson suggested changing the ---- 0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - November 3, 2010 Page 2 wording to "may be liable for some of the costs." Councilmember Trude thought they should include that the County would be responsible for the balance of the costs. Mayor Gamache stated they may be liable but are not necessarily liable. C6uncilmember Trude wondered if they could strike the sentence because that was a very confusing part of the discussion and she thought it was inaccurate to mention that the City might have a financial obligation because the County did go on and on about the obligation they had. Councilmember Jacobson thought they should strike the last sentence and leave the first sentence in. Mayor Gamache stated the information is factual and the City may be liable for the cost of some of the noise wall. Councilmember Trude wondered if this could be tabled to have staff get accurate information in the minutes for the future. She stated if they took out the last sentence and send back to have staff put an accurate comment in under 10-12 and she would be fine with it being 1?ublished without further approval of the Council. Mr. Dickinson stated on page 7, line 44, the word "not" should be removed. 0 Councilmember Jacobson stated on page 2, line 17 through line 27, they were talking about the full access four-way signalized intersection north on ih Avenue and while they do talk about it he did not think it reflected the entire concern the Council had and what the County was proposing was further north and not acceptable to them and they fully impressed upon the County that they wanted the lighted intersection closer on the property and he did not think that was expressed there. He would like another sentence to emphasis the concern. Councilmember Trude agreed and thought others made statements regarding this. She stated they did not think it was acceptable if the County did not provide full access off of ih A venue which is not in the minutes. Councilmember Knight stated the access should not go through a residential area and that was not reflected in the minutes either. C<;mncilmember Jacobson stated the paragraphs can be left in but he would like what was discussed added to the minutes. Councilmember Jacobson stated on page 3, line 23, after the word funding put a period and cross the rest of the sentence out. He stated in place of the crossed out sentence place the following: "Mr. Berkowitz recommended that the design be prepared at this time and that the grant be applied for during the next solicitation". He stated on page 4, line 23, it talks about new development and he would like the word "residential" placed in the sentence after new and before development. He stated on page 5, line 10, Mayor Gamache commented that the City has ~ suitable number of buildable lots. Councilmember Trude stated on lines 2 and 4 the word should be "manner". 0 Councilmember Trude stated she was still concerned with the comments regarding the discussion with the County because the City does expect a full access intersection. She wondered if staff could come up with some language to cover the points the Council felt were critical. She asked 0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes -November 3,2010 Page 3 if a statement could be added "The Council concurred that any plans that came back they would expect a full access intersection." Mr. Dickinson indicated he had enough direction in what the Council would want added. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to approve the minutes as indicated above. Motion carried unanimously.
