MINi7TES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 22, 1995 The foregoing resolution was duly seoonded by Morelan. Ayes (5) Fahey, Morelan, LaValle, Scalze, Pedersen. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. CONSENT Scalze asked if it were in the best interests of the AGENDA City to have the County turn back Arcade Street as a City street. The City Administrator felt that it was pointing out that this will allow the City to put the street on the City's municipal state aid system and start collecting needs for it. The Administrator felt that the City should then improve the street as a City project in conjunction with a Watershed storm drainage project planned for the area. Scalze asked if it were possible to improve the road with bituminous shoulders. The City Administrator replied that if the street is improved using State-Aid dollars, State-Aid standards must be met. Without the use of those dollars, the City has more flexibility. The Administrator assumed that State-Aid standards would allow extra width for the street which could then be used as a pedestrian/bike path. Morelan asked when the improvement of Arcade Street was on the County's schedule. The City Administrator replied that the project is not programmed on the County~s schedule. The City Administrator pointed out correspondence in the Additions to the Agenda regarding the Jackson Street trail. The Administrator reported that staff is recommending that the Council approve the plans and specifications for the project and call for bids. Fahey noted that this issue has been resolved by the City Council previously. Morelan asked about design standards for the path. The City Administrator replied that those standards are included in the plans and specs. 6
