Presently the contribution on the T.R. #47 project is capped at 80% of the original <br />estimate of 2.8 million. With the current construction cost estimate at $3.5 million, this could <br />mean an additional $550,000 in federal funding to the project. He had requested permission <br />from the Public Works Committee to sign the plans and submit them to MnDOT, which was <br />done. Mr. Jankowski requested that C.quncil authorize offers in the amount of the appraised or <br />listed values for the proposed strip-takings. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman, seconded by Councilmember Connolly, to authorize <br />offers in the amount of the appraised or listed values for the proposed strip-takings. <br /> <br />City Council/September 14,1999 <br />Page 15 of 23 <br /> <br />(\\23 <br />
