CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala MEETING DATE: April 25, 2016 TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 16-29, Authorizing Preparation of 2016 Regional Solicitation Grant Application — Main Street Trail VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting City Council approval to authorize WSB and Associates to prepare a Regional Solicitation Grant Application for the Main Street Trail. BACKGROUND City staff has been working with Anoka County Parks Department plan for the extension of the Regional Trail along Main Street from Lino Lakes Elementary School to the 35W Overpass. A conceptual layout and cost estimate was completed in 2014. The project was tentatively slated for construction in 2019, but is not currently funded. Staff is proposing to apply for federal funding as part of the Metropolitan Council Regional Solicitation process under the Multiuse Trails and Bicycle Facilities Category. If approved the grant could provide up to 80% of the construction cost. The remaining 20% of construction along with any professional service or land acquisition costs would be covered as a local match. WSB has submitted a proposal to complete the application in the amount of $9,369.00. The proposal includes further development of the concept plan and cost estimate. Anoka County has agreed to share 50% of the application cost. Accordingly, the City's share of the application cost is $4,684.50. Funding for the work is proposed to come from the Community Development Engineering professional services budget. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution 16-29 authorizing preparation of the 2016 Regional Solicitation Grant application. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 16-29 2.
