VISITOR PRESENTATIONS:
Senator Julianne Ortman gave an update of what’s going on at the Capitol with the legislature.
There’s been discussion at Carver County about the combination of the Auditor/Treasurer/
Recorder and that those elected officials become appointed in the future. The Senator’s office,
along with the County have come to an arrangement whereby the County is going to be
developing some town halls and making presentations across the county to residents so they will
understand what is being proposed. Recently the issue of a Chanhassen licensing center has
passed through a couple of House and Senate committees for approval. She updated the council
on the market value credits, Highway 212 ground breaking, and MnDot recognizing the
widening of Highway 5 west of Highway 41 as an unmet need. Three bills that she’s currently
working on are the drug sentencing reform bill, funding the financial crimes task force, and
education tax credit bill. Rick Dorsey, 1551 Lyman Boulevard expressed concern that he was
not notified of item 1(b) the loan agreement for Highways 212/101 gap bonding project 03-09-3
and the possibility of an assessment on his property. Mayor Furlong suggested that Mr. Dorsey
talk to Mr. Gerhardt or staff to resolve the confusion over this item. Bill Flanagan, 6653
Brenden Court expressed concern with the traffic and condition of Galpin Boulevard, especially
with new developments going in in the area.
