Program (STP) application that was previously supported by the City, and these funds are dedicated solely for this project so if it were not to move forward the money would be lost. Items that the City contribution to this project would cover include the previously described intersection improvements from the existing Town Center transportation improvement JPA, drainage improvements, trail installation, and noise walls (as necessary). Additional City expenditures for this project would include approximately $29,000 for engineering and design, for a total estimated project cost of $621,497. A few options to consider are: 1. Approve the JPA 2. Request a CSAH 116 turnback. The County has indicated that this is not really an option at this time, but if they were to consider it the entire cost of improvements plus any increase in capacity west of 57 would be at the City's expense (including all future projects where CSAH 116 would feed into — future river crossing, etc.). 3. Direct staff to write a letter to Anoka County requesting that the project be terminated and the $3.7 M in federal money returned. Funding: The current CIP funding scenario for this project includes a $100,000 contribution from TIF #2 in 2010 and $600,000 in 2011 to be determined. Funding for this project was originally anticipated through future land sales, as it was associated with regional roadway improvements to serve the Town Center, but other funding sources to consider include the City's trail fund, stormwater utility, and potentially State Aid. Recommendation: Staff recommends acceptance of the JPA with Anoka County for the reconstruction of CSAH 116 between Basalt and Germanium Streets. It is further recommended to authorize staff to sign the final construction plan set if no significant changes are proposed, and authorize the City Administrator to sign the JPA once the City Attorney has reviewed and accepted it as it relates to legal matters.
