ark DEPARTMENT OF <br />TRANSPORTATION <br />October 19, 2017 <br />To: Municipal Engineers <br />From: Bill Lanoux <br />State Aid for Local Transportation <br />395 John Ireland Blvd., MS 500 <br />St. Paul, MN 55155 <br />Municipal State Aid Needs Manager <br />Subject: Maintenance Requests, Interest on Bonds <br />2018 MSAS MAINTENANCE ALLOCATIONS: <br />If a change is to be made to the amount or percentage that a city receives for its 2018 <br />maintenance allocation, the municipality must submit a written request to Bill Lanoux at <br />william.lanoux(a�state.mn.us prior to December 16, 2017. (Emailing requests is acceptable.) <br />Please Note: a request is only necessary if the city desires to change the request on file. <br />A city may submit a request to cover future maintenance allocations by specifying a fixed amount <br />which is greater than $1,500/improved mile and less than 35% of the Total Allotment. A city may <br />also specify that a percentage of either 25% or 35% of the city's Total Allotment be allocated to <br />the city's Maintenance Allotment. (The remainder is then allocated to the city's Construction <br />Allotment.) <br />The following wording may be used in the request to cover future Maintenance Allotments: <br />The city of hereby notifies the Commissioner of Transportation that all <br />future maintenance allotments are to be calculated at percent of the total or an amount of <br />plus bond interest (if any) until the City notifies the Department otherwise. <br />State Aid Rules (Chapter 8820.1400 Subp. 3) allows cities to receive up to 25% of the total <br />allotment for maintenance without submitting an Annual Summary of Street Information. <br />Requests for 35%, or lump sum amounts greater than 25%, require that an Annual Summary of <br />Street Information be completed after the 2018 maintenance year. A city may only exceed the <br />35% maximum Maintenance Allotment to accommodate bond interest. <br />The document "Annual Summary of Street Information" is available at the following website: <br />(under the header MSAS Forms) <br />http://www.dot.state.mn.us/safinance/formsandresolutions.html <br />An equal opportunity employer <br />
