CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION September 6, 2016 APPROVED 132 133 Mr. Adams explained that cost participation with municipalities along the route isn't a 134 part of this project at this time. There are clear areas where that cost participation is 135 involved, such as a signal improvements. 136 137 Mr. Lindeberg noted there is a possibility with a non -consent that the Lino Lakes portion 138 of the project could be removed from the larger project and then it would be a stand-alone 139 project without the noise wall consideration. 140 141 Council Member Maher concurred that she sees contradiction within the resolution 142 language. The first half says let's do the project and the second half says the opposite. 143 Council Member Kusterman said he sees that the resolution approves the project but 144 doesn't like a certain element. Mr. Grochala said he knows it's not the council's intent to 145 endanger the noise wall project and therefore some wordsmithing of the resolution is 146 probably needed. 147 148 Council Member Kusterman requested that he be provided with the actual statutory 149 authority and language that deals with MnPass and fees. 150 151 Council Member Maher asked about use of revenue from the MnPass lanes and Mr. 152 Adams explained that under statute that revenue must stay within the corridor and 153 generally goes to pay administrative costs, enforcement and transit development within 154 the corridor. 155 156 Mayor Reinert said he doesn't want something to come forward that will fail. Council 157 Member Maher suggested that she'd have preferred that a resolution be brought forward 158 on a vote because she doesn't necessarily agree. 159 160 The resolution will be reviewed by MnDOT. 161 162 1 Aqua Lane Trunk Watermain Project - City Engineer Hankee reviewed her 163 written report relating to a request from a property owner for connection to city sewer and 164 water. Staff would like to know if the council supports that addition to the project. She 165 confirmed that this is an undeveloped lot that would be connected, as noted on the map in 166 the staff report. 167 168 The mayor asked why the city wouldn't want to extend the service. Ms. Hankee noted 169 that staff doesn't anticipate anyone else along the street would be interested because three 170 properties have fairly new systems. 171 172 Council Member Manthey asked if the West Shadow Lake area improvements are on the 173 horizon and Mr. Grochala said it's anticipated that will be requested in 2018. 174 175 The council discussed the future construction plans as well as the ability for septic to 176 remain in the area.
