name from the utility billing. Ju1ie Reis was formerly married ta
Timothy Reis and has part ownership ot the house at 14865 Crandall
Avenue. The City Attorney Miles commented that by remaving Julie Reis '
name the City will lose the option of possible collection from her in the
event there would be an over due bill through ce�tification with the
county. The City Policy establishes the requirement to bi11 directly to
property owners.
The City Council felt because the Reis ' s have been current on their water
bill and because of the obvious irritatian it caused the Reis family that
it would be appropriate in this case with these unique set of
circumstances to change the names on the utility billing: 1) Property
ownership is being determined in court. 2) Julie reis does not live at
property in question, she is currently living out-of-state. 3) Julie Reis
has a new last name. 4) Although homestead credit application comes in
the name of Timothy and/or Julie Reis, Timothy Reis fiies a "special
form° with the eounty to indicate only he is entitled to the homestead '
credit. Council felt this gives an adequate paper t�ail to proper
ownership and that the city is covered since Timothy Reis' is an owner of
the property and his name appears on the water bill .
MOTION b� Willcox to remove the former Mrs. Julie Reis from the utility
billing statement and add Mrs. Stephan.ie Reis with Mr. Timothy Reis' s
name onto the utility billing statement. Second by Staats.

City Administrator Jilk updated City Council on the status of Dakota
County assigning County Road (CR} 42 as a Principal Arterial highway:
This would cause the rieed for an overhead by-pass of the railroad tracks
at Highway 3 and CR 42 in the future. Current development af praperty
surrounding this intersection would be restricted on the entrances unto
CR 42 because of this. These entrances would have to be l/4 mile from
the r -
ailroad tracks possibly causing additional expense to the developer
due to the low area at this point to the east. Discussion will continue
with the developers.
Councilmember Klassen requested discussion on the Highway 3 Improvements
to follow up on residents concern on the issue of a pedestrian crossing
to the Community Center. Safety is the main concern far anyone who would
be crossing Highway 3 stated Klassen. There will be pedestrian traffic
from Rosemount Woads Mobile Park and Erickson Park on the east to the

Community Center. City Engineer Osmundson commented that there are no
funds budgeted now for a tunnel or pedestrian bridge which can cost
upwards to $200, 040 . The normal features for a surface crasswalk would
be used; i.e. signage, flashers, road markings. In order to qualify for
a signal light for pedestrian traffic MnDot requires a count of 40q
people crossing in faur hours in one day. The High School has addressed
this issue by working with the City ta provide a paved path from the
school to the Community Center on the west side of Highway 3 . Busing
from the Coznmunity Center could also provide safe passage crossing
Highway 3, espeeially for children.

This would cause the need for an overhead by-pass of the railroad traeks
at Highway 3 and CR 42 in the future. Current development of property
surrounding this intersection would be restricted on the entrances unto
CR 42 because of this. These entrances would have to be 1/4 mile from
the railroad tracks possibly causing additional expense to the developer
due to the low area at this point to the east. Discussion will continue
with the developers .
Councilmember Klassen requested discussion on the Highway 3 Improvements
to follow up on residents concern on the issue of a pedestrian crossing
to the Community Center. Safety is the ma.in concern for anyone who would
be crossing Highway 3 stated Klassen. There will be pedestrian traffic
from Rosemount Woods Mobile Park and Erickson Park on the east to the
Community Center. City Engineer Osmundson commented that there are no
funds budgeted now for a tunnel or pedestrian bridge which can cost
upwards to $200, 000 . The normal features for a surface crosswalk would
be used; i.e. signage, flashers, road markings. In order to qualify for
a signal light for pedestrian traffic MnDot requires a count of 400
people crossing in four hours in ane day. The High School has addressed
this issue by working with the City to provide a paved path from the
school to the Community Center on the west side of Highway 3 . Busing
from the Commun.ity Center could also provide safe passage crossing
Highway 3, especially for children.
