CC Minutes 02-28-2011Chanhassen City Council - February 28, 2011
Mayor Furlong: Okay. We’ll take that under new business since that’s a new item without
objection. Is there anybody else?
CONSENT AGENDA:
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor I’ve got two minor changes that I’d like to address for the council.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you.
Todd Gerhardt: 1(c). Municipal Consent. Review plans for Trunk Highway 5 improvement
project call for a public hearing. I handed out a resolution to you and modified the sentence
under Now, Therefore Be It Resolved. Number 1. Just gave a little more detail in that sentence
than the sentence that was there before about the Trunk Highway 5 improvement project between
41 and the west junction of County Road 11 and Victoria Drive. So a little more specific than
just the general project description that was in there. That was included in your packet. So we
would ask that this resolution replace the one under 1(c).
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Todd Gerhardt: And then under 1(f), the motion reads trial where it should read trail and if the
minutes would just reflect that change. That the resolution is fine but in the proposed motion it
says pedestrian trial where it should say pedestrian trail.
Mayor Furlong: And that was 1(f).
Todd Gerhardt: 1(f).
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Todd Gerhardt: And that’s it for changes that I have.
Mayor Furlong: Any changes, clarifying questions on those changes from council?
Councilman Laufenburger: No question.
Mayor Furlong: If not then we’ll substitute the staff’s recommendation as Mr. Gerhardt has
described it. Anyone else? Either members present of the council or others in the audience.
Hearing none is there a motion to adopt items 1(a), (c), (d), (e) and (f) as modified.
Councilman Laufenburger: So moved,
Councilman McDonald: Second.
Councilman Laufenburger moved, Councilman McDonald seconded to approve the
following consent agenda items pursuant to the City Manager’s recommendations:

ANNUAL UPDATE FROM CHANHASSEN LIBRARY, MELISSA BRECHON.
Mayor Furlong: Good evening.
Melissa Brechon: Good evening Mr. Mayor and members of the City Council and city staff and
visitors. My name is Melissa Brechon. I am the Library Director for the Carver County
Libraries and I’m here tonight to give you an update on the Chanhassen Library. Kind of an
updated State of the Library. It’s been a while since I’ve been here so I’m glad to be here to talk
to you today. It’s been 7 years. 7 years since we’ve opened this library. It seems unbelievable
and for all the use that’s happened and all the excitement that it’s gained and the public that’s
drawn to this building continues every day and I’ll be updating you on the numbers that come in
that door but it’s been 7 long years since we opened the door and we are now a 7 day a week
library. We do have 6, and 7 libraries really within the Carver County system. We have a
library here at Chanhassen of course. Chaska. Waconia. Norwood-Young America and out at
Watertown and then this year, if you’ll see here and I’ll explain a couple new additions we have
this year. We put in here that your library card is good at over 100 locations. Because we are
part of a regional library system here in the state called MLSA and you might see MLSA if you
come into the library over at Chanhassen. MLSA does some of the visitor passes that we have
for our museum pass program and your library card is good throughout over 100 libraries in the
MLSA area and throughout the whole state of Minnesota and you can request a book at the
