Assessment. A BWSR Clean Water Fund Grant Application and a Hennepin County
Opportunity Grant application were drafted for the five projects. The Medina portion
would be $10,525 for the grant match. The grant request is for $163,500.
Jim Kujawa also updated the City Council regarding the Baker Ravine Project near Lake
Independence. Three Rivers Park District is also pursuing grant funding for the ravine
project. Medina has agreed to help fund the ravine project.
A reminder was provided about the Mayor's Picnic on July 26th. Also, Mayor Mitchell
updated the City Council about the NWHLM e-mail regarding lobbying for policy
positions as a group. The City Council directed staff to use the League of Minnesota
Cities as the point of contact to promote projects for Medina.
Adjournment
