Citizens' Comments
Robert Erickson spoke on behalf of Lakeville residents in the Jaguar and 188`'' Street
neighborhoods, along with Kenwood Trail Middle School staff and parents, concerning the
proposed roundabout at Highway 50 and 185` Street. He encouraged the City to provide more
education concerning roundabouts. He also felt that a study should be completed which portrays
appropriate ingress and egress on Highway 50 south of the intersection prior to proceeding with
the roundabout.
Mr. Mielke stated that a study of the 50/60 intersection was completed in July of last year; and the
City Council endorsed the multi -lane roundabout design for this intersection. The roundabout
design was supported over a standard intersection primarily because of safety and cost. He
explained that a corridor study of CSAH 50 from CSAH 60 to Cedar Avenue has already been
proposed to address the issues of volume and access along CSAH 50.
Mr. Mielke indicated that the County Engineer is proposing to move forward with a corridor
study later this year. Mr. Mielke further explained that the corridor study is a separate issue from
the intersection improvements and is unrelated to the intersection improvements.

Chief Vonhof presented the July Police Department monthly report.

Consent Agenda
Mr. Mielke explained that the Joint Powers Agreement with Dakota County (Item 6k) identifies
the project responsibilities and costs associated with the intersection construction and highway
expansion. It does not address the project design. The agreement was previously approved by the
City Council in March of this year. The County has since requested a minor revision to some of
the provisions related to storm sewer construction and maintenance. Nothing else in the
agreement has changed.
Mayor Bellows stated that, based on comments and concerns raised by Mr. Erickson, he would
like to hear feedback from County Commissioner Krause prior to proceeding with this Joint
Powers Agreement.
The consensus was to table Item 6k until the September 4 th City Council meeting.
12.56 Motion was made by Swecker, seconded by Rieb to table Item 6k and approve the
remaining consent agenda items as follows:
a. Claims for payment.
b. Minutes of the August 6, 2012 City Council meeting.
