The City is <br />paying for the County's intersection and are not receiving any significant participation from the <br />County on the project. <br /> <br />County Commission Berg stated that they made it clear what the County's participation would be <br />on the project and that amount has not changed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that because the cost of the project went up, additional <br />funding was made available, but the County's share has since gone down now that the County <br />can receive the federal funding. <br /> <br />County Commissioner Berg replied that the County is still responsible for the $267,567. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that th~ County is not paying for right-of-way, or engineering <br />costs for their portion of the project. <br /> <br />County Commissioner Berg questioned if he was inferring the project is a 2 million dollar <br />project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied 1.2 million. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski reviewed the engineering costs of the intersection of C.R. #5 and #116. <br /> <br />County Engineer Olson replied that the City is using inflated numbers. The County is going to <br />contribute what was originally agreed upon. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested that the County review the numbers with the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly stated that she would like the Finance Officer included in the <br />discussion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that assuming the County was going to pay $250,000 which is <br />now only $50,000, the City would need to come up with an additional 1.4 million dollars which <br />would make it cheaper for the City to stop the project and place the stoplights where the citizens <br />requested. <br /> <br />County Commissioner Berg replied that he thinks Councilmember Hendriksen is looking for a <br />reason to stop the project. He advised Councilmember Hendriksen that it is too late to reallocate <br />the money to other areas and the region would lose funds. <br /> <br />City Council/November 23, 1999 <br /> Page 5 of 25 <br /> <br /> <br />
