The allocation is based on two factors, total population and total <br />dollar amount needed to bring the designated system up to MSA standards. He explained <br />that the City is allowed to designate 20 percent of its street mileage onto the MSA system; <br />however, the system must be continuous, with no dead ends, and must be approved by the <br />State Aid Engineer. In 1994, 2.34 miles of new streets were added which allows a total of <br />0.51 miles to be designated onto the MSA system. Mr. Jankowski suggested designating <br />the segment from Sunfish Lake Boulevard down to Riverdale and the extension of <br />Armstrong from Riverdale to 142nd as being on the system. It must commence and <br />terminate on another MSA road. Mr. Jankowski stated that something from 153rd over to <br />Jarvis and back down may also be a possibility. He reported the modifications to the <br />system must be submitted to MnDOT by March 1, 1995. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to <br />recommend that City Council petition the Commission of Transportation for modifications <br />to the City's MSA system. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Zimmerman and Beahen. Voting No: <br />None. <br /> <br />Case #2: <br /> <br />Consideration of Modifying Assessment Procedures Applicable <br />to the Annual Street Maintenance Program <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that, since its inception, the Street Maintenance Program <br />was financed through special assessments.
