Arnolds Park City Administrator, Mayor and
Mike Koppert, Councilmember present to meet with the Board. The City is requesting that the County
participate with the City of Arnolds Park to purchase two properties to
reconstruct the intersection of Linden Drive and Highway 71 and also one
property at the intersection of Iowa Street and Broadway. The properties are for sale and the City feels
that the increased traffic from the development of the former Nielsen property
that has been approved by the Board will create traffic problems for the city
that the county should help with funding improvements to the servicing roads. No action was taken on this request at this
