Railroad Crossing Agreement: <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka stated that the City has received agreements from Burlington Northern for the <br />railroad crossings at I53rd Avenue Northwest and the Puma Street crossing. Mn/DOT has <br />approved State Aid Funds for the 153rd Avenue crossing. Mr. Raatikka recommended City <br />Council approval of the agreements. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley noted that Ramsey would have to acquire additional liability insurance for the <br />crossing at Puma because it is private and not covered under the City's public liability <br />insurance. Mr. Hadley stated that he will research the cost of insurance and options before the <br />City. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Mayor Reimann to authorize the Mayor and <br />City Administrator to enter into the Private Roadway and Crossing Agreement with Burlington <br />Northern Railroad and submit the required payment, subjecl to the approval of the Cily <br />Attorney. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember DeLuca hesitated to enter into an agreement for a private <br />crossing prior to knowing liability insurance costs.
