Riverdale Drive would need to be paid for if the grant funds are not received and the project does <br />not move forward by a certain date. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau asked and received confirmation that the City would need to pay <br />for the right-of-way needed for the Riverdale Drive project when that project moves forward if it <br />is not obtained through this method. He stated that therefore the City would be no worse off by <br />choosing this method. <br />Motion by Councilmember LeTourneau, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to authorize staff <br />to pursue a Cost Share Agreement with Anoka County Parks and Metropolitan Council and other <br />funding entities for the Mississippi Skyway, and secure the right of way for Riverdale Drive <br />through a Master Plan Amendment to Mississippi West Regional Park. <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Riley reiterated the estimated cost of the project. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau stated that he would like to talk about funding partners and not the <br />estimated cost at this time. <br />Councilmember Williams stated that she would not support this being a priority above Highway <br />10. <br />Mayor Strommen stated that she wants to be clear that this would not be a priority higher than <br />Highway 10 and would instead run alongside that work as there would not be competition in <br />funding for the projects. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers LeTourneau, Johns, and <br />Kuzma. Voting No: Councilmembers Riley and Williams. Absent: Councilmember Shryock. <br />8.
