FINAL PLANS FOR HAMLINE AVENUE, LARPENTEUR TO COUNTY RD. B, APPROVED Maurer explained that Ramsey County will honor the City's request that the boulevard on Hamline Ave. (Larpenteur to Roselawn) be reduced from 6 feet to 4 feet, and that the shared funding of the Gottfried Pit will be addressed at a later date. He recommended that Council approve the plans and authorize his signing the same. Gehrz then moved adoption of Resolution R-90-5 which carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R-90-5 A RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE HAMLINE AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS (LARPENTEUR AVENUE TO COUNTY RD. B-2) DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED AGREEMENT WITH MN/DOT REGARDING 1987 SNELLING AVE. CONSTRUCTION PROJECT Maurer presented Supplement #1 to the Minnesota Department of Transportation agreement for street, watermain and storm sewer construction on Snelling Avenue in 1987, and explained the related costs. A lengthy discussion ensured regarding costs to the City as the Council understood that the City would not be charged for any street construction and objected to the charges now being proposed. Since the new watermain was entirely a City project and the City's expense, Council agreed that the first installment should be paid. Ciernia moved approval of the first good faith installment in the amount of $45,426.67 which will not constitute agreement with the proposed payment plan. Motion carried unanimously. The proposed agreement with MN/DOT was not approved due to the street charges. 5 YEAR STREET PROGRAM APPROVED Council discussed the proposed 5 Year Street Program recommended by Maurer after which Gehrz moved adoption of the 5 Year Street Program as presented with one change, moving of the Albert Street Construction to the year 1991. Motion carried unanimously.
