Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Chairperson Backous, to recommend to City <br /> Council to accept the City of Elk River's proposal, and discuss with the City of Elk River to <br /> begin repayments in 2016. <br /> Further discussion: Councilmember Riley questioned whether there is storm sewer there now <br /> and if it is necessary. Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied there is no storm sewer there <br /> now, but it is necessary. He said if the road is going to be improved upon, it should be done <br /> completely. Councilmember Riley questioned whether it is feasible to assess the few properties <br /> that are in Ramsey for this project. City Administrator Ulrich responded this subject needs to be <br /> discussed further to see if a portion can be assessed. Councilmember Riley expressed concern in <br /> the availability of MSA funds. City Engineer Westby noted there are several projects listed <br /> under 2015 that total over $2 million, which are slated for MSA funds. He said those projects <br /> could be pushed out, as they are not imminently needed, making MSA funds available for this <br /> project.
