asked staff to address the questions raised relating to dead end stubs. Council approved the September 2017 Comprehensive Water System Study Update on November 28th. 6. Consider Recommending City Council Approval of Municipal State Aid Maintenance Allocation Reduction: City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and explained the purpose of this case is to consider recommending approval of reducing the City's Municipal State Aid (MSA) Maintenance allocation from 35% to 25%. Staff explained a Maintenance Expenditure Report must be completed by a MSA city if the city's maintenance request is greater than 25% of its total allocation, or the city's lump sum request is greater than 25% of its total allocation. If a city requests more than 25% as maintenance allocation, a Maintenance Expenditure Report must be completed and filed each year. He stated this report takes about 30 hours of staff time to create and in the end, it provides no benefit. The Public Works Committee recommended City Council approval of reducing the City of Ramsey's MSA maintenance allocation from 35% to 25%. Council approved the Municipal State Aid Maintenance Allocation Reduction on November 28th. 7. Consider the Addition of Street Lights in our Industrial Area: Public Works Superintendent Riemer presented the staff report and explained the purpose of this case is to investigate the installation of additional street lights in the City's industrial areas.
