Currently, Ramsey County has jurisdiction of Highway 49 from Highway 96 to County Road J in Shoreview. Anoka C • my has adopted a Memorandum of Understanding for the portion of Highwa 49 from County Road J to Fourth Avenue. The portion of Highway 49 pr« • • _ • to be under the jurisdiction of Lino Lakes is from Lilac Street to Fourth Av e (refer to attached map). This segment is approximately 0.2 miles in length. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a nonbinding statement of intent for the tumback of Highway 49. A formal agreement between the City and State will need to be executed to identify the terms of the tumback. The MOU states that the Cit can utilize Municipal State Aid Tumback Account funds for improvements to the roadway. Tumback routes placed on the Municipal State Aid Symon i$ designated mileage above the normal 20% limit on mileage available to be on the Municipal State Aid System (the total mileage of streets eligible for MSA designation is :limited to 20% of all streets in the City). The ability for the City to have more than the normal 20% limit designated as MSA does provide for some compensation to the City for receiving this roadway.

If the Count execute the tumback of the remaining portion of Highway 49, proposed to be a City tumback would be an orphaned Highway.
