Carlson reported that Wright County would like the City to initiate a co-
operative proposal for the County Road 19 street improvements, including the
traffic signals at the intersection of CSAH 19/37. The Council directed Peter to
draft a proposal for cost-sharing with Wright County similar to the co-operative
agreement signed for the CSAH 19/37 Intersection Realignment Project for the
Council to review on March 1 st.
Carlson requested the Council consider withdrawing its designation of
Wright Soil and Water Conservation Board as the Local Governmental Unit
(LGU) for wetland determinations. According to Carlson, WSWC is becoming
very conservative and is leaning toward avoiding wetlands altogether.
Accordingly, Carlson believes, some developments are required to conform to the
WSCW rules and are not in the City's best interests. Linda was asked to review
the minutes from the past to check if there was a time limit set for the duration of
the appointment of the WCSC as LGU.
.
The Council reviewed the language pertaining to downstream flooding
drafted by City Engineer Carlson to be included in the Ditch Agreement. Carlson
will revise the agreement and present it for council review on March 1 st.

Addition. The final plat involves the subdivision of 33 single family lots and
constitutes the fourth and last phase of the previously approved Center Oaks
preliminary plat.

granting final plat approval for Center Oaks 4th Addition. Stalberger seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Vetsch made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION #1999-7 titled A
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING LICENSE FEES FOR THERAPUETIC
MASSAGE ENTERPRISES AND MASSAGE THERAPISTS. Stalberger
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
.
Stalberger made a motion to table RESOLUTION #1999-7 due to the
applicant's failure to report to work to date. Vetsch seconded the motion.
