Council Member Christy Janigo pulled item 3j from the consent agenda for public explanation; she said she had served as the council liaison to the Lake Quality Commission (LQC) and described the three applicants' qualifications before moving their appointments. Janigo said applicant Mister Heeran is an Edward Lake resident who has served on a lake association board and helped organize a National Night Out; Mister Paavola is a 12-year Maple Grove resident with background in outdoor recreation; and Mister Cangelosi has environmental engineering experience and joined a site tour of the Rush Creek North Fork stream restoration project earlier in the year. Janigo moved to approve the three appointments; the motion was seconded and passed with the council voting \"aye\" and no opposed votes recorded.

The council also approved the consent agenda as a whole after the pull of item 3j; a motion to approve carried when members voted \"aye\" with no opposition recorded. The council congratulated the three new LQC members after the vote.

At the start of the meeting the council administered the oath of office to newly elected Council Member John McCullough. The Economic Development Authority (EDA) portion of the meeting included administering oaths to Mark Stephenson as EDA president/treasurer and to commissioners Christy Janigo and John McCullough; the council then approved the EDA appointments and the minutes of the Dec. 16, 2024 EDA meeting by motion, each carried by voice vote with no opposition recorded.

Other procedural notes: the council reported no blue cards for the open forum and announced upcoming civic opportunities, including a planning commission application deadline (Jan. 10) and a neighborhood meeting on the 2025 street reconstruction project (Jan. 14).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Maple Grove City Council and EDA 1/6/2025","oneSentenceSummary","On Jan. 6, 2025, the Maple Grove City Council approved the consent agenda, confirmed three volunteers to the Lake Quality Commission and approved Economic Development Authority appointments; oaths of office were administered to new members.","taxTitle","Maple Grove, Hennepin County, Minnesota","taxId",7832,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6398789,"Mayor, council highlight growth, community center, highway and hospital plans in State of the City remarks",248,443000,691000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2090499-b04c7535849c5226bdcddd9d76a33ffc&start=443&end=691","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2090499-b04c7535849c5226bdcddd9d76a33ffc/thumbnail_443000.jpg","/articles/6398789/Maple-Grove/Hennepin-County/Minnesota/Mayor-council-highlight-growth-community-center-highway-and-hospital-plans-in-State-of-the-City-remarks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6398789-2a8fd2891db05ad1ee62e1d27bc4a00b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150791&Signature=FiHkDfPGG8orWrufYtp2O5gxqVyPnjJ1vsVGa3XNGZpzbpdY~LsS6tSv8182O0moPzw6Y2ltOKQYxy4DsJb3BsbmCEvOdIWNKqO5KSt2omoQkffQjlrwgo9Nlq-OQctDY7pRkY~vbdgKQH3Ca2H-Qz8Yic9oZBFlNOJQ94y43PTWfzi3027JIoyHrni5-b2iPBGO9urXoANQ0WFr~QgRuhaR04YaNaEnC2V-i4okfrQLsgx86vM79EADJBWgQOOfg8EIngKXcJ9db6fnES-Py-oI9e2S4xMOj3PhiYdNtN38OBz3DJy85sbKEDTFhg8UBrwI~DV~aZwyI9N2Eb2Ymg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Mark Stephenson and members of the Maple Grove City Council gave updates on economic development and infrastructure on Jan. 6, 2025, saying the city has seen new commercial investments, progress on the community center redevelopment and expects completion of Highway 610 this year.

In a brief state-of-the-city summary, Mayor Mark Stephenson said, \"On behalf of the city, I would just like to report that the city is doing great. We have a great city, a great place to live.\" He pointed to growth in the Arbor Lakes business area and singled out new facilities including MSI and Boston Scientific as examples of recent job-creating development chosen in competition with other cities.

Council Member Christy Janigo, in her third year on the council, described ongoing work on the community center and other public projects. She said construction on phase 1 of the community center is visible, with \"the crane [having] installed the precast stadium seating for the new rink\" and that in the coming weeks work would shift to roof trusses for a third sheet of ice. She added that phase 2 planning and public engagement will resume later.

Janigo also said Garland Commons, a 55-plus affordable senior community, opened in spring 2024 and that \"a lease was signed for the last available unit\" last week. She said, \"We have a profound need in this community for senior housing across all markets and price points,\" and described continued planning to address that need.

Both Stephenson and Janigo highlighted the long-running Highway 610 completion through the northwest quadrant of the city. Stephenson said the roadway—land for which was set aside in 1974—should reach final completion this year, a milestone he described as the finishing link of the north crosstown and a cap on decades of metropolitan freeway planning.

Council Member John McCullough described Maple Grove as “an intentional city designed to attract stellar events, trendy shops, delicious dining, thriving business services, and sought out to call home,” and he thanked staff for providing data that helps the council keep tax burdens low while planning long-term capital needs. McCullough also recognized Public Works and its winter response, noting crews cleared roughly 300 miles of roadway and 700 cul-de-sacs during a recent storm.

On environmental work and natural-resource stewardship, Janigo described the city forester's work on tree plantings and emerald ash borer management, stream restoration projects including Rush Creek North Fork, an alum treatment completed on Eagle Lake, and a planned study of internal loading in Rice Lake. She noted water-resource engineers schedule stormwater pond dredging each year and review landscaping plans of new developments for ordinance compliance.

Stephenson and Janigo thanked departing council members Judy Hansen and Christy Barnett for their service and welcomed new council members John McCullough and Mike Osoppi (not in attendance). Both leaders said they expect continued housing and commercial development in the northwest quadrant and said they hope to work with Maple Grove Hospital and state partners on a large hospital expansion in the coming year.

The remarks were delivered as part of the council's regular meeting; no formal vote was tied to the State of the City comments. The council moved from those remarks into routine business and appointments later in the meeting.","Mayor Mark Stephenson and councilors described recent commercial and residential growth, progress on the community center redevelopment and the planned completion of Highway 610, and said they hope for a Maple Grove Hospital expansion in the coming year.","actionData","errors"]
