CC Regular Session Meeting Date: Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: 5. 5. 03/24/2026 Identify and implement operational efficiencies, cost savings and additional funding sources. Title: Adopt Resolution #26-056 Approving Minnesota Department of Transportation Limited Use Permit #020-0113 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #26-056 approving Limited Use Permit No. 0200-0113 between the City of Ramsey and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to provide for maintenance and use of pedestrian facilities by the City of Ramsey upon, along and adjacent to Trunk Highway Nos. 10 and 47. Background: The City of Ramsey is currently party to three (3) separate Limited Use Permits (LUP's) with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) that allow the city to occupy certain segments of State-owned right-of-way along Trunk Highways 10 and 47 for the purpose of maintaining and operating city -owned pedestrian facilities based on conditions specified within each permit. The 3 existing LUP's include; • LUP No. 0202-0030 issued 5/18/2016 for trail segments south of Trunk Highway 10 • LUP No. 0206-018 issued 9/06/2005 for trail crossing under Trunk Highway 47 at Elmcrest Park • LUP No. 0206-0028 issued 3/07/2017 for trail segments east of Trunk Highway 47 generally south of a point 900-feet north of Xkimo Street (replaced and superseded LUP No. 0206-005, issued March 13, 2003). During discussions with MnDOT in 2025 concerning their proposed 2028 TH 47 mill and overlay project, MnDOT informed staff they were interested in replacing the three existing LUP's with a new city-wide LUP to minimize future administrative efforts for both parties. City staff confirmed this would benefit the city so MnDOT drafted LUP No. 0200-0113 and submitted a draft for City review, along with 3 termination letters for the existing LUP's. City staff and the City Attorney reviewed LUP No. 0200-0113 and the 3 termination letters and worked with MnDOT to address all City comments to the satisfaction of staff and the City Attorney. Attached are copies of LUP No. 0200-0113 and the 3 existing LUP's with corresponding termination letters as provided by MnDOT. Upon execution of MnDOT LUP No. 0200-0113, LUP Nos. 0202-0030, 0206-018 and 0206-0028 will be terminated. LUP No. 0200-0113 will expire at 11:59 PM on February 27, 2036. Notification: Notifications are not required for this case. Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: Observations: No additional maintenance or operational responsibilities will result from the approval of LUP No. 0200-0113. Following City Council approval, a certified copy of Resolution #26-056 will be submitted to MnDOT, along with a copy of LUP No. 0200-0113 with the required City signatures.
