Reports Attorney Raiber reported: Ireland Avenue continues to progress. Several easements are done with help from Council and City Hall. The Church and Railroad are almost done. Schneider continues to be negotiated through his attorney. The Church has some title issues and should be done in the next few weeks. The goal is to try to get them done before the end of the month. For the Railroad, it was approved with some special provisions that required DOT approval for Right Of Way. On the parcel across the street, everything has been approved. There is one discrepancy in the legal description and it is being worked out. Bartels had a question on the parcel. Right now the parcel will be a lease since we can' t own it until the parcel is paid for; once released by the mortgage company, we will own it. Ryan questioned whether we can gravel it.

Discussion that perhaps that means we can have more plows out instead of constantly sanding. Streets are looking better and clearing faster. Salt supply is short but we can get it for the water treatment plant. Ryan commented on the trail cleaning. He said that he was on the trail late Sunday and the trail was not done and it had snowed on Saturday. He commented that once streets are done, they need to start trails. Per Brett, we can' t use bobcat on the trails with a brush. They will use the Kubota and drive down and throw salt/ sand down. I
