City updates: Mahtomedi Avenue, dog park review, GreenStep award and fire call increase
Summary
City staff reported progress on Mahtomedi Avenue utility relocations, a forthcoming Planning Commission review of a dog park site plan, a GreenStep 5 award, and a 6.3% increase in fire calls year over year; the council approved the bill list and set upcoming workshop and budget meetings.
City Administrator Scott Neilson said there will be a workshop with OPN architects before the Aug. 3 council meeting at 5:30 p.m. and a joint Council/Finance Commission meeting on Aug. 25 to discuss the 2027 budget. He also reported the City received a GreenStep 5 award at the League of Minnesota Cities conference.
City Engineer Nick Guilliams said the Mahtomedi Avenue project is moving forward, utility companies will start gas-line relocations in about a month, and easement letters went out to residents. He noted the dog park site plan will be heard by the Planning Commission on Aug. 12. Fire Chief Joel Schmidt said the department has seen an "increase of 6.3% in calls from last year," that a new Assistant Fire Chief has started, and the department posted for paid on-call positions.
