Planning commission reports: grant award, community-center platting, Medyke Fields study, new waste contract
Summary
Staff reported North St. Paul City was selected for a Met Council planning grant (about $40,000) to support a comprehensive-plan update with WSP, is working on replatting the community-center parcel for a potential buyer, is starting a Medyke Fields study (wetlands/soil borings), and negotiated a trash contract that includes eight free bulky pickups per household per year beginning Sept. 1.
Staff told the commission that North St. Paul City was included among cities selected by the Met Council for planning grants; the city expects roughly $40,000 in noncompetitive grant money to offset the comprehensive-plan update cost. "North Saint Paul is 1 of those," a staff member noted about the Met Council grant selection during the report.
Staff also said the city is surveying and preparing a replat of the community-center parcel because of a potential buyer, and that a draft work plan with WSP is close for the comprehensive-plan update. The city is initiating a Medyke Fields study that will include wetlands delineation and soil borings to inform redevelopment options. Finally, staff said a new solid-waste contract with Tennis Sanitation begins Sept. 1 and will allow up to eight free bulky-pickup items per household per year; mattress removal is not included in the free pickups. Commissioners shared brief updates and thanked staff for responsiveness.
