CC Regular Session <br />Date: 03/22/2011 <br />By: Mark Riverblood <br />Engineering/Public Works <br />Item #: 5. 10. <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Resolution #11-03-XXX Supporting Trail Grant Applications for Trails Along T.H. #47 and Co. Rd. #83 <br />Background: <br />At the Council Work Session on March 8th, 2011, there was consensus approval in acknowledging that Resolution <br />#11-03-XX would be on the Consent Agenda for March 22nd, 2011. <br />The Resolution approves the application to the MN DNR for two trail grants with a total project estimate for the <br />8,000' foot T.H. #47 trail at $557, 290; with the phase one portion of the Co. Rd. #83 trail (Central Park to Alpine <br />Drive), at $279,163 for the corresponding 6,100' feet of 10' foot wide trail. <br />Maps, cost estimates, and additional project details are available within the aforementioned Work Session Topic <br />Report. <br />Observations: <br />The application will be submitted on or before March 31st 2011 - with the DNR expected to determine and notify <br />successful applicants by mid -summer 2011. <br />Funding Source: <br />Presently the city's Trail Fund (fees collected from developers) is approximately $200,000 within the $1.6 million <br />dollar Park Trust Fund - with the Trail Fund the logical funding source. Additionally, there may be other funding <br />sources for portions of the required match, as both trails connect residents to designational points of potential <br />economic activity like the Game Fair, Central Park, The COR, or the commercial node at 167th Avenue and <br />T.H.#47. <br />It was discussed at the work session that the grant that we are applying for has a maximum contribution of $100,000 <br />per project. If the city is notified of a successful application mid -year in 2011, planning for the trail(s), an <br />subsequent construction early in 2013 may be conducted as part of the annual budget and CIP process. <br />Council Action: <br />Approve Resolution#11-03-XXX Supporting Trail Grant Applications for Trails Along T.H. #47 and Co.
