City Attorney Goodrich stated the initial term is for five years at a rate of $750 per month. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman asked how much MnDOT would pay. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated MnDOT would pay $416,000 or 80%. He reviewed the costs <br />involved for the site and construction. He stated he thinks it is reasonable to use that portion of <br />the cost against what the City is responsible for. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen asked if the total goes down from $525,000 to $490,000. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated that is correct and reviewed the discussion held with MnDOT about <br />the costs and what would be eligible. He explained that the grant is up to $416,000 but does not <br />mean the City will get $416,000. He stated the total cost would be $490,350 and 20% would be <br />$98,070. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson asked if this is the site that soil borings have already been done on. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman explained that soil borings and FTA approval had already been <br />granted on this site two years ago. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated if soil borings have already been done, would they need to be <br />done again. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated those were for preliminary testing but soil borings are needed on the <br />roadway areas. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson asked about the turn lanes. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated that is an issue and there is still a question of whether turn lanes will <br />be required for this area. Staff will meet with Anoka County to find out what their stance is and <br />if they will contribute funding. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman explained that Anoka County participated in the Riverdale project in <br />Coon Rapids so staff's position is that they should also contribute for these turn lanes. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated the problem he sees is that the City is obligated to replace this <br />at the City's cost. He explained that if this is considered to be a temporary facility, which <br />everyone has said it is, the City would pay about $100,000 now and at the point the City moves <br />it, they will pay for the entire facility a second time. So the City could end up paying close to <br />$600,000 out of the City's money for the ultimate Park and Ride facility which seems to be a <br />rather poor use of $600,000 of tax dollars. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmerman asked if federal dollars would apply if the City purchased the <br />property. <br /> <br />City Council/August 5, 2002 <br /> Page 4 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
