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. The recommendation of the Public Works Committee was that Council direct staff to forward the proposed MSA system modifications to MnDOT for incorporation into the City's State Aid System. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee in Case No.2 and to direct staff to forward the proposed MSA system modifications to MnDOT for incorporation into the City's State Aid System. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Elvig, Jeffrey, Dehen, Look, Olson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. 3) Review 2007 Storm Sewer Improvements City Engineer Jankowski stated 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 held in January. 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. Mr. Jankowski indicated 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. Councilmember Elvig asked if any of these improvements will be done in conjunction with the road improvements this year. City Engineer Jankowski replied yes, staff is proposing to do these improvements prior to the overlays and sealcoats. No action required. City Council / March 13, 2007 Page 17 of21
