CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION September 6, 2016 DRAFT 4 132 Mr. Adams explained that cost participation with municipalities along the route isn’t a 133 part of this project at this time. There are clear areas where that cost participation is 134 involved, such as a signal improvements. 135 136 Mr. Lindeberg noted there is a possibility with a non-consent that the Lino Lakes portion 137 of the project could be removed from the larger project and then it would be a stand-138 alone project without the noise wall consideration. 139 140 Council Member Maher concurred that she sees contradiction within the resolution 141 language. The first half says let’s do the project and the second half says the opposite. 142 Council Member Kusterman said he sees that the resolution approves the project but 143 doesn’t like a certain element. Mr. Grochala said he knows it’s not the council’s intent to 144 endanger the noise wall project and therefore some wordsmithing of the resolution is 145 probably needed. 146 147 Council Member Kusterman requested that he be provided with the actual statutory 148 authority and language that deals with MnPass and fees. 149 150 Council Member Maher asked about use of revenue from the MnPass lanes and Mr. 151 Adams explained that under statute that revenue must stay within the corridor and 152 generally goes to pay administrative costs, enforcement and transit development within 153 the corridor. 154 155 Mayor Reinert said he doesn’t want something to come forward that will fail. Council 156 Member Maher suggested that she’d have preferred that a resolution be brought forward 157 on a vote because she doesn’t necessarily agree. 158 159 The resolution will be reviewed by MnDOT. 160 161 3. Aqua Lane Trunk Watermain Project - City Engineer Hankee reviewed her 162 written report relating to a request from a property owner for connection to city sewer 163 and water. Staff would like to know if the council supports that addition to the project. 164 She confirmed that this is an undeveloped lot that would be connected, as noted on the 165 map in the staff report. 166 167 The mayor asked why the city wouldn’t want to extend the service. Ms. Hankee noted 168 that staff doesn’t anticipate anyone else along the street would be interested because three 169 properties have fairly new systems. 170 171 Council Member Manthey asked if the West Shadow Lake area improvements are on the 172 horizon and Mr. Grochala said it’s anticipated that will be requested in 2018. 173 174 The council discussed the future construction plans as well as the ability for septic to 175 remain in the area. 176 177
