8. Administrator's Report/Matt Carlson

a. A meeting was held regarding the Hwy 83 widening (entrance of Nagawicka Park north through and including the intersection of Hwy 16). The State completed a survey to try to identify where the traffic was coming and going from to determine whether the project would be funded by the State or whether there would be some local municipal participation in the cost of the upgrade. The State would require local participation if more than forty percent of the trips in and out of the area were from the local communities. The State determined that a little over sixty percent of the trips were generated from the local area. So, as a result, the State has made a determination that there would be municipal cost share in the improvement of Hwy 83. The cost share generally would be 75% State and Federal sources and 25% local sources. The next step is to determine how the local share (25%) gets divided up. The State's approximate date to begin Hwy 83 project is 2003. Discussion.

b. Golf Road street light project has been completed.
