PW CASE #'~ <br /> <br />REVIEW AND UPDATE CITY MUNICIPAL STATE AID SYSTEM (MSAS) <br /> By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The MSAS was established in the 1950's as a mechanism for distributing a portion of the gas tax <br />monies back to the cities in order to build and maintain its local collector and arterial road <br />systems. The amount of money cities receives is based upon two factors: population and the <br />amount of money needed to bring a city's designated MSAS up to set standards. Each city is <br />allowed to designate 20% of its total mileage on the system. <br /> <br />It has been several years since the last modification of the MSAS has been made. Since that time <br />a number of formerly non-existent roadways have been constructed. In addition, the City's <br />Comprehensive Plan has been updated. Some of the existing MSAS segment designations need <br />to be modified to become consistent with these changes. Because of additional street <br />construction, the City is entitled to designate an additional 1.95 miles onto the system, which <br />would increase the need portion of the City's annual allocation. <br /> <br />Also recall that the state requested that the City remove the speed humps on Dysprosium Street <br />or remove that segment from our MSAS. This segment represents an additional 0.54 miles that <br />may need to be designated. <br /> <br />A map of the current MSAS will be available at the meeting. Several modifications of the <br />MSAS will be proposed, bringing the current map consistent with actual roadways and the new <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />The Public Works Committee shall provide direction for desired changes to the MSAS. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Director of Public Works <br /> <br />PW: 03/21/00 <br /> <br /> <br />
