The <br />improvements include the construction of a roundabout, storm water quality and <br />appurtenant work. Staff from the Anoka County Highway Department will be in <br />attendance to present the project. Property owners adjacent to the project were notified <br />that the City Council would be discussing this improvement at their May 2, 2016 <br />meeting, and again on May 9, 2016. <br /> <br />On December 14, 2016 the City Council passed Resolution 15-150 Approving a Joint <br />Powers Agreement between the City and County. The overall project cost is estimated to <br />be $1,300,000. The City’s financial responsibility for the project is for lighting, <br />bituminous walks and storm water from local drainage for a total amount of $80,000. <br />Funding for the project will be through the City’s Municipal State Aid (MSA) account <br />and the City’s surface water management fund, for drainage costs that may not be eligible <br />for MSA funding. <br /> <br />The County has had ongoing discussions with the property owner at 7262 Sunset Ave. <br />and will be able to provide an update at the meeting. <br /> <br />The County is requesting conveyance of an easement for drainage purposes from the <br />City. The area of the easement is approximately 605 square feet and is currently used for <br />drainage purposes. <br /> <br />In addition to approving the Joint Powers Agreement the City has the following actions to <br />consider for the project: <br /> <br />1. Prohibit Parking Resolution on Highway 12 (109th Ave. NE / Apollo Drive) and <br />County Road 53 (Sunset Ave.) <br />2. Authorizing the City Engineer to sign the project construction plans <br />3.
