CAS #14- <br /> <br />MODIFICATION OF THE M.S.A.S. SYSTEM <br />By: City Engineer Steven Jankowski <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Each year, the City of Ramsey receives a substantial sum of money to support its Municipal State <br />Aid Street (MSAS) system. In 1991, the state will contribute $439,173 to Ramsey for the support <br />of this system. The determination of the amount of aid a community receives is dependent upon <br />two factors; population and amount of need. While there is little control over the population, the <br />determination of need is based upon the estimated cost of bringing all designated roadways up to <br />MSA standards. The amount of mileage which can be designated is limited to 20% of the City's <br />total mileage. It is obviously advantageous to designate mileage as close as possible to the <br />maximum allowed. The attached resolution provides for 0.07 miles short of the maximum 25.80 <br />miles allowed. Since nonexistent roadways require a greater financial need than existing roadway, <br />it is a good strategy to designate as much nonexistent roadway as possible. All of the added <br />designations made in the attached resolutions were reviewed by the Road and Bridge Committee. <br />These are also segments which have been identified as being desirable on our City Thoroughfare <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />CC:04/23/91 <br /> <br /> <br />
