Clerk/Treasurer's Comments:
Cathy had no comments.
Mayor's Comments:
West Interchange
Mayor Olson said when he gets the map; he will present it to Council Workshop.
Mark said he looked at the area on Google Earth. It was discussed that it looks like it has moved over so it will
only involve one land owner. It comes close to Figgins pond and the pond may be filled in some. It appears the
change will straighten the bridge but the road will curve after the bridge. Mayor Olson said it will come off on
Golf Course Road.
Doug said the interchange needs on and off ramps both ways to help alleviate access problems to the south side
of Laurel. The way it stands, there are no benefits to the city.
Mark said an overpass that would connect north and south 8 Avenues would benefit the city.
The next regular Budget/Finance meeting will be Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. Tom will not be at
the meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Cathy Gal(rian, Deputy Clerk
