Schroeder, City Administrator Background: For the past five years or longer, thc City of Ramscy has been discussing thc eventual construction of McKinley Street and the utilities below the street. In 1988, a sanitary sewer trunk line was constructed within the proposed fight-of-way. Recently, the City authorized appraisals on the property in order to negotiate with the owners to purchase the right-of-way. Final acquisition of this property would bring to conclusion the issue of easement utilization without adequate ownership by the City. The above does not conclude the discussion of who should build and pay for the roadway, when that should occur, and what fights and responsibilities fall upon the City throughout the process. Given this, it is expected that a City attempt to purchase the fight-of-way may bring rise to these other issues including a landowner expectation of increased municipal costs. Within the proposed Capital Improvement Program, construction of McKinley/Tungsten Street is projected in phases. The fa'st phase is shown as a 1994 tax increment project at $430,000. Additional phases are projected from 1996 and beyond as partial assessment projects. It should also be noted that the City of Anoka has not yet committed to a roadway connection of McKinley Street at their border. The appraisals have been completed in the amounts of $14,850 for the Anoka 67 Industrial Partnership parcel and $7,300 for the Spohn parcel. Adoption of the attached resolution would allow for acquisition of these parcels for the value shown'in the appraisals. Any other costs beyond these amounts proposed by either party would require additional Council action. Council Action: Motion to adopt Resolution ~93-10- authorizing right-of-way acquisition.
