These funds can only be used for the improvement and construction of <br />roads on the City’s MSA system and on County or State roads within the City. Three <br />streets being improved this year (Country Drive, South Owasso Boulevard, and <br />Centerville Road) meet the requirement for utilization of the City’s State Aid funds, <br />however there are not sufficient dollars in the City’s MSA account to cover all the eligible <br />costs. Mn/DOT does allow City’s to advance encumber future MSA payments to cover <br />eligible costs on large projects and we are requesting the City Council approve the <br />attached resolution requesting advancement of MSA funds. Approval of the resolution <br />will allow all eligible costs to be paid with MSA funds as the project is completed a nd <br />reimbursement of the funds by the City’s future MSA allocations. <br /> <br />If you have any questions please call me at (763) 780-0450 extension 3.
