Case #2 Consider Modifications to the Municipal State Aid System Background: Staff reviewed the existing MSA system with the Committee and proposed the addition of a new segment, 173rd Avenue (County Highway 63) between Annstrong Blvd and Variolite Street to the City's MSA system. In order to have sufficient mileage available to be able to add this segment in it will be necessary to remove 0.45 miles from the current system. An opportunity to obtain this needed mileage is available by removing this amount of mileage by revoking the MSA designations on portions of 142nd Avenue and Traprock Street. This route has been a MSA . route since the 1980's, but is no longer consistent with the Comprehensive Plan since this route runs through what is now planned to be a regional County Park. It will be necessary for the City Council to pass a formal resolution requesting system modifications prior to May 1, 2007 in order for any new additions to be included in the next round of needs determination which will increase the City's MSA funding. Motion to recommend to City Council that the proposed MSA system modifications be forwarded to MnDOT for incorporation into the City's State Aid System. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case #3 Review 2007 Storm Sewer Improvements Background: The City reviewed the drainage conditions within the areas scheduled for work associated with the annual street maintenance program. The Public Works department has identified a list of locations, which should be investigated for drainage improvements within this year's projects. In addition, several problem areas were reported to staff as a result of the resident meeting, which was held on January 31, 2007. Two additional .improvements which should be considered in conjunction with this year's street program include installing temporary cul-de-sacs at the ends of streets that are planned for future extensions. Staff will investigate each of these potential storm sewer improvements to prepare an estimate of the cost. The cost of the storm water related improvements will be financed from the Storm Water Utility. The work associated with the cul-de-sac improvements will be performed by the Public Works Department and be financed as a portion of the street maintenance program preparatory costs. Action: No action is required by the Committee, a public hearing was held on February 13th. -154-
