of the Minneapelis Park Board's request for site Man PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS
approval of a structure located on property owned bj :heand
City of Minneapolis might''be to our disadvantage, bit' MINNEAPOLIS PARk
in the long run if we cooperated on this' request,' plus BOARI REQ!BEST
being able to cite a long list of cooperative acts on the Items 5M and 5N
part of Plymouth, this' could help us. We should not push
too hard on the architecture but try to get the Park
Beard to do as good a job as possible and to work with
our Planner to get a good site plan, decant building and
to use our water and sewer,systems. If the Park Board
requests a building permit, they will be requi rld to ply
01 faes, just as an ordi na: y citizen would be required., '

A Cooperative Agreement from the Minnesota Highway Depart-
ment for the miscellaneous street, storm sewer and other
utility work relative to the County Road 73 and Trunk
Highway 55 intersection has been received. The Council
has previously approved the Cooperstive Agreement for
sharing,in the signal costs. This Agreement sets forth
the costs for other related,impravements, and the total
estimated cost to the City i,s $54,E10. The greatest
portion of this is for a 42" sewer pipe ($37,448), which
is the portion of the new gravity sanitary sewer which
will eventually have to be constructed east from Schiebe
Lift Station. This project is scheduled for bid letting
in the second quarter of 1974, and should be completed,
this next summer. Manager Willis indicated the Staff would
work with the State Highway Department in terms of custy,
and Council would be advised prior to contracts being
awarded.

taken. Motion carried. four ayes.
Engineer Goldberg presented a letter from the State High-
way Department indicating their awareness of the traffic
situation at T.H. 55 and CSAH 154. They, however, felt
that the current installation of traffic signals at the
intersection of CSAH 73 and T.H. 55 would create gaps in
the flow of traffic allowing traffic to enter or cross
the highway at CSAH 154 more eas'ly. The letter also
indicated the tentative time schedule for installation of
signals at other intersections along Highway 55 (Xenium
Lane-CSAH 61; Fernbrook Lene; and CSAH 6).
MOTION was made by Councilman Hunt, seconded by Councilman
Nei 1 s, directing the Staff to come to some agreement with
the Highway Department on the time schedule as presented,

55 (:Ramada Inn, restaurant, etc.), and an attempt should
be made to move this time schedule forward. Motion carried,
four ayes.
Engineer Goldberg presented a letter he has received from
the State Highway Department wherein they propose to let
bids in July 1974 for the installation of a flasher sys-
tem at the intersection of T.H. 55 and T.H. 101 to the
South, and Peony Lane to the North. Estimated cost of
this improvement to Plymouth would be $8,000. The
question was raised regarding why Plymouth should pay
when this was a state intersection. It was pointed out
that Peony Lane is a Plymouth street, therefore Plymouth
must share in this cost.
MOTION was made by Councilman Neils, seconded by Council-
man Hunt, to adopt RESOLUTION N0. 74-60, A RESOLUTION
THAT THE MINNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT PROCEED WITH IMPROVE-
MENT AND THAT A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BE PREPARED, AND THAT

vote, four ayes.
Manager Willis indicated the Staff needs additional
time to obtain data which will be included in the feasi-
bility reports in order to project individual and total
program financing requirements,
After reviewing the report Manager Wi'ilis had submitted
regarding requested information about the P1 Rnouth Sun
and the Pew -Hope Plymcuth Post, it was felt Coat the Post
has made a great effort to catch up on the circulation
throughout Plymouth, and the Sun has attempted to give
Plymouth individuality i n their coverage. However, it was
agreed Council would be doing the majority of Plymouth
citizens a disservice if the Official Newspnner should be
changed at this time.

project:,. First, the City is divided into four drainage
districts, three of which are represented by some farm of
Watershed Commission. Secondly, there are various ways

built by developer as part of their development, Third,
