At the Jordan City Council tonight, Mike Shaw questioned whether the city should spend $3,500 on a consultant to facilitate a second annual council retreat. 

Last year, the council spent two days outside of the city hall talking about strategic planning, collective goals, city growth, unity among councilmembers, and other issues facing the city during a two-day session. This sort of retreat is common among elected city officials who want to informally get on the same page with city staff and their collegues on a particular board or council.

Dannica Erickson recently moved from Edina to a property along Second Street West in Jordan.

She brought three dogs with her, but city code allows only two per residence.

Several members of the Jordan City Council have suggested that traffic needs to be deterred from using Highway 282 as a route through Jordan. In a meeting earlier tonight, they did so again.

A street sign in the right-of-way near the Beckmans' home, located near the intersection of Hillside Drive and Woodland Circle, will be removed.
