In addition to the PMA an additional Final Reimbursement Amount (FRA) will be <br />allocated proportionally to grant participants, determined based on eligible project expenses <br />submitted and available remaining grant program funds. <br />The City of Lino Lakes has incurred eligible expenses while completing the 2015 Street <br />Reconstruction — Shenandoah Area Project. Documentation from the project as well as this <br />proposed resolution will be submitted to the MCES as part of the reimbursement process. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 16-129 Accepting and Approving the Grant <br />Agreement between the City of Lino Lakes and the Metropolitan Council of Environmental <br />Services for the Improvement of Publically Owned Infrastructure. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
