I I I I ! '1 I I I ! I I ! i I I I I I -2- Lastly, the County Board has supported staff in our efforts to obtain State and Federal Funding for .Anoka County projects over the past couple of years. Because of this support, we have been able to secure State Funding in the amount of $780,000 for 1996 and 1997 and Federal Funding in the amount of $5,276,000 for the years 1997-2000. In addit/on, there is reason to believe that additional State Funds Mil become available to Anoka County in the years 1998-2000 in the form of Cooperative Agreement Projects. On Page 4 of this Proposed 5 Year Highway Ir~.provement Plan, a most probable funding sceaario has been indicated. This funding scenario shows the availability of Federal and;State Funds mad itemizes by foot notes those funds and which projects they are applied to. It also indicates that with a stable local levy and minimal growth in non- constructionibudgeting, the Five Year Highway Improvement Plan proposed is nearly fundable un{ter this scenario. Over the life of the Five Year Plan, approximately $6.6 million of projects costs are not fundable under this scenario. Pages 5 and 6 indicate the proposed 1996 Overlay Program for Anoka County. The Public Wor~ Committee has taken an aggressive position on overlays for 1996 and is recommendi~ g to the County Board that $342,000 from Project No. 02-635-08 (Old Central), an~l the $941,000. additional dollars received from State Aid in 1996, be used to increase the 1996 Overlay budget to $2,083,000. This adjustment in the Overlay budget for 11}96 will go along way to preserve the existing infrastructure primarily in the northern parts of Anoka County where reconstruction projects are less of a priority because of the traffic volumes experienced. Page Number 7 is a key for the different colnmn.~ on the individual projects sheets included in this document. Pages 8 thru 17 include a detail of the projects proposed for the years 1997-2001. ~ The sub-totals at'the bottom of each page indicate the necessary amount of construction budget necessary to construct the program as indicated. The first negative number indicates th6 ,nnual component above the anticipated funds available as indicated in the funding ~icenario and the second number indmates the accumulative number for the revious years of the Five Year Plan. As you can see by reviewing those pages, the total ive Year Plan is under funded by a total of $6.6 million. Again~ this is much closer to being a fundable program than we have submitted for the past several years. Major projects such as the Hanson Boulevard interchange with TH 10 and the Hanson Boulevard Karl Grade Separation Project in all likelihood would not proceed without Federal dollars and deletmn of those projects would have a significant impact on the fundability cfi the program as presented.
