TRUE H"Til <br />TO: Mayor Keis & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer <br />DATE: November 6, 2015 <br />RE: 2016 Street & Utility Improvements Project <br />As Council is aware the 2015 Street Improvements Project, which included Centerville <br />Road, South Owasso Blvd., and Country Drive was delayed last year and will be moving <br />forward in 2016. To keep up with the ongoing street maintenance program additional <br />streets are included in the 2016 budget for improvement. A list of the additional streets <br />that are being considered for improvement are provided below: <br />Aspen Circle (Entire loop south of County Road D) <br />Demont Street (McMenemy to Savage) <br />Morrison Street (Demont to South End) <br />As with all the previous street improvement projects, a portion of the project cost would <br />be assessed in accordance with the City's assessment policy to the adjacent benefiting <br />properties. The City would be responsible for any difference between the total project <br />cost and the assessable value. The assessing of public improvements requires that the <br />Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 process for local improvements be followed. A required <br />step in this process Is the preparation of a feasibility study to ensure that the project is <br />necessary, cost effective, and feasible from an engineering standpoint. Therefore at this <br />time we are requesting that the City Council authorize preparation of a feasibility study <br />for the 2016 Street Improvements Project. <br />As with all the street improvement projects a public informational meeting would be held <br />with abutting property owners to discuss the proposed improvements and receive input <br />and feedback. We would also like to request authorization to conduct these public <br />informational meetings in order to include the information in the feasibility report. <br />If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 763-780-0450 Ext. 3. <br />10062 Flanders Court N E — Blaine, MN 55449 — (763) 780-0450 fax (763) 206.2341 <br />Z:\PROJ\120190E - 2016 Street Improvements\0030\Memo-110616-CC-Info Meeting Authorizatlon.doo <br />
