515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 www.ci.little-eanada.mn.us MEMORANDUM MAYOR Bill Blesener COUNCIL Jim LaValle Ricic Montour Barbara Allan John Keis ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson TO: Mayor Blesener & Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: August 4, 2006 RE: Installation of Additional Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) Devices Last fall, the Council authorized the installation of additional Emergency Vehicle Preemption devises pursuant to the recommendations of the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department and the Little Canada Fire Department. (See Agenda Memo and Minutes from October of 2005.) This included authorization for cost participation in an additional EVP located for the west bound 694 off ramp that intersects Rice Street near Vadnais Boulevard. Attached is correspondence recently received from Dan Soler of Ramsey County Public Works that includes the construction plans for the installation of the Tier I signals impacting our area. You will note that are participating in the installation costs with Shoreview at the intersection of North Owasso Boulevard (Country Drive) and Rice Street. The cost allocation does not include our participation in the Rice and 694 ramp pursuant to last year's authorization even though I made the Sheriff's Department and Ramsey County Public Works aware of your decision. The first action item is to detellrfine if you want me to remind the County of our previous offer. I believe this would increase our cost by $2,125 (25% of $8,500) in addition to the $4,250 for the Country Drive intersection. The second, subject to the decision on the first item, is to formally approve the construction plans and to approve the Agreement for Maintenance of Traffic Control Signals and Installation No. 2006 -06.
