forwarded to the City Attorney who arranged for an investigation to be completedby Douglas County.
The report came back from Douglas County following the investigation that therewas no evidence to support the filing of charges or the issuance of a citation as theactions of the officer were justified, lawful and proper.

Subject: Stormwater Pond Easement
Agenda Item: 7e

discharge at this location has been in place for over fifty years; however the recentstorm water pond requirement as part of the Sauk River Watershed Permit is new.

As an alternative way to alleviate the concerns of the School Board and its insuranceprovider the idea of the City purchasing the property was introduced. As of the dateof this memo, the idea is under consideration.
The property is approximately five acres in size. The City needs approximately oneacre. The County value of the entire piece which is all wetland is $ 6, 000 or about
1, 250 per acre which is below the cost of installing the fence.
Staff is requesting approval to move forward with a initiating a purchase if theSchool Board responds that this is their preferred action. If this moves forward the
City could hold a special meeting to finalize.

City of Sauk CentreStaff Report
Meeting Date: August 15, 2012
Subject: Dam Level Adjustment
Agenda Item: 7f
Description SummarX
The City of Sauk Centre owns and controls the Sauk Centre Dam on the Sauk River. The PUC operates the dam levels on behalf of the City.
For several years the DNR and the City had an agreement whereby the City wouldlower the level of Sauk Lake each winter by two feet. This was in response to lakeowners' concerns of lakeshore damage due to ice heaves etc.
For the past three years an agreement was in place to lower the level by one foot. This was in response to concerns that lowering the lake by two feet was causinghabitat damage resulting in a lower fish population.
The agreement defaults back to the two foot agreement unless a new agreement is
reached.
A meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 15 at 5: 00 p.m. prior to the Councilmeeting where pros and cons of the lake adjustments will be reviewed.
A possible recommendation to the City Council may come as a result of the meeting.
Action Requested.

Saint i Meeting Summary 5/ 21/ 2012
The following summary conveys key themes and specific comments recorded by MnDOT staff during facilitateddiscussions at the CIMS outreach meeting on May 21, 2012 in St. Cloud, as well as written comments submitted byparticipants via completed participant guides and follow -up emails. As part of an ongoing, collaborative initiativebetween MnDOT and its partners, CIMS meeting summaries are intended to document what MnDOT has heard to
this point in the CIMS process and offer potential starting points for further discussions around regional /local prioritiesand opportunities for lower -cost, high- benefit investments,
The CIMS meeting began with a short introduction from MnDOT Acting District Engineer Jodi Martinson, followed bya presentation from MnDOT staff members Philip Schaffner and Steve Voss that described the CIMS initiative, the
condition of the trunk highway system, MnDOT's fiscal outlook, and the approaches that MnDOT is taking to advanceobjectives in the areas of preservation, safety, mobility and regional /local priorities ( Click here to review the fullpresentation),
The presentation was followed by a discussion of MnDOT' s recent investments, programmed investments, andanticipated investment needs on six corridors:
i 1 - 94 ( from Osakis to Rogers)
US 10 ( from Little Falls to Elk River)
6 US 71 ( from Belgrade to Sauk Centre)
O MN 23 ( from Richmond to Hinckley) MN 55 ( from Rockford to Annandale)
MN 65 ( from Anoka County line to Mora)
Each corridor was discussed at workstation where MnDOT staff walked participants through a series of maps that
displayed information relating to MnDOT's investment program. A separate workstation was held to discuss the St. Cloud metropolitan area. All map series are available for download on the CIMS website.
P. 36
After reviewing the maps, meeting participants were asked to describe their regional /community priorities and theneeds, issues, and opportunities they see on the corridor, Examples of the questions posed include:
What are your regional /community goals relating to economic vitality and quality of life? What community /economic development strategies is your city or county pursuing, and how could corridorimprovements or system management strategies help advance them? Among the investments MnDOT needs to make in the years beyond the STIP to keep the system in a safeand sound condition, which are your highest priorities?
Are there local system improvements or development plans that could be coordinated with MnDOTinvestments?
As MnDOT develops improvements to keep the system in a safe and sound condition, what additionalneeds /issues /opportunities should MnDOT consider in project scope and design?
What are the most critical issues on the corridor that may require investment beyond MnDOTs plannedimprovements?
1 - 94
As an interstate, 1 - 94 serves as a critical corridor for long distance travel and freight movement. Sauk Centre, St,
Michael and Clearwater described the corridor as essential to their vitality and quality of life. All three communities
described plans for industrial development along 1 - 94. St. Michael is working on an industrial development along 1 - 94and Neighbor Avenue. The Environmental Assessment and layout have been approved. Clearwater continues to
pursue industrial and commercial development on both sides of 1 - 94. Sauk Center is soliciting for industrial andcommercial development, primarily on the south side of 1 - 94.
Both the 1 - 94 Corridor Coalition and the Central Minnesota Transportation Alliance voiced support for improving thelevel of service on the corridor. Specific improvements suggested include expanding 1 - 94 to six lanes between
Rogers and Monticello, adding rumble strips along the corridor and extending cable median barriers all the way toMoorhead.
Spot issues or critical priorities cited by participants
Possible ramp metering at Maple Grove, Rogers, St. Michael, and Albertville ramps
Improving the pavement condition near Albertville
Pedestrian needs on bridges crossing 1 - 94 ( specific reference to Clearwater)
Coordination opportunities cited by participants
Sauk Center is doing a $ 2. 5 million storm water improvement on US 71. This doesn' t necessarily directlyimpact 1 - 94, but it could divert additional storm water adjacent to 1 - 94.
Monticello is building an overpass bridge on 1 - 94 at Phalen Avenue.
CIMS Meeting Summary — St. Cloud 5/ 22112
P. 37
Other comments
In 2016 when MnDOT reconstructs 1 - 94 west of St. Joseph /St, Cloud, MnDOT should make sure to includethe CSAH 75 connection.
Congestion along the corridor significantly impacts quality of life as a result of extra commute times.
US 10
US 10 serves both as a commuter route and alternative to 1 - 94 for access to the Twin Cities as well as a gateway toNorthern Minnesota. The addition of Northstar Commuter Rail has been a boost to the economic vitality of thecorridor and Sherburne County is working to capitalize on the commuter service through Transit Oriented
Development. Participants raised concerns about the availability of funding to maintain the corridor and addressadditional challenges. The river crossing and the interchange at US 169 and MN 101 were identified as critical issuesthat may require additional investment.
Spot issues or critical priorities cited by participants
Rail crossing in Royalton
Other comments
MnDOT should consider low cost safety improvements when scoping and designing projectsContinue to allocate money to mobilityMorrison County and cities are developing joint powers agreement to connect trailsThere is a desire for a rail park/distribution center on the corridor
US 71
The discussion on US 71 focused primarily on the section through Sauk Centre. Access to both US 71 and 1 - 94 has
contributed to firms locating in Sauk Centre. For example, a recent addition to the industrial park is a " speedy - delivery" type service for pharmaceuticals.
Beneath Sauk Centre' s Main Street, there are huge infrastructure needs. The infrastructure is more than 100 years
old. Despite a prior history of not being able to finalize a collaborative approach, the local situation has changed.
Through Sauk Centre, the community is ready to work with MnDOT to coordinate water, wastewater, and other
utilities in the 8 -10 blocks through downtown. Local water supply, wastewater, and electric utilities are managed byone authority that is ready to work in coordination with MnDOT whenever and wherever opportunities arise. There is
also a new utility for stormwater management and the utility is expected to be receptive to working with MnDOT.
US 71 is an important freight corridor. The King Transport and truck stop area is a major layover for trucks whenweather closes the interstate. These access areas on US 71 need to be re- designed; even addition of a raised
median as a low cost option would help.
Other comments
Pedestrian and bicycle connections are lacking near the Lake Wobegon Trail and near other destinationssuch as WalMart and McDonalds. There are no designated bike lanes or corridors, It is difficult to get backto town from the trail,
There are flooding issues along the trail that have spurred a $ 2, 5 million stormwater project that will gounder TH 71 later this year.
There is limited bike and pedestrian access along TH 71 south of the downtown to 1 - 94. Widening shoulders south of Sauk Centre is a priority, A true rebuild is needed through Sauk Centre, not just patching.
MN 23
Participants indicated that adding length to turn lanes and LED lights to stop signs has made an improvement in theMora area. For the Milaca area, a specific request was made to install signal or four -way stop at east of US 169 nearthe Embers and Dairy Queen.
Other Comments
Provide frontage and backage roads as development occurs in rural communities
There are access control issues in Cold SpringTwo new businesses opening in Bock - be aware of intersection changes
Consider using a different color for the fog line, something brighter to offset snowSeveral road run -offs between Milaca and Ogilvie
MN 55
MN 55 is the main corridor for Buffalo and is an important commuter corridor. Approximately 70 percent of thepopulation of Buffalo commutes to the Twin Cities. The corridor is appealing because of the visual context, in that it
provides a calmer, more rural feel, yet still provides the accessibility to get to /from the Twin Cities. Quality of life isnegatively impacted by delays that occur from traffic and crashes. Additional turn lanes on the corridor have helped, but there still needs to be more.
Participants reiterated their desire to expand the highway to four lanes from Buffalo to Plymouth. An official map forthe four -lane has been completed and right of way has started to be purchased or dedicated along the corridor. Several business and property owners along the corridor have given, dedicated or set aside ROW for expansion ofthe corridor to four - lanes.
