Consideration of Resolution No. 95 -135 Approving Traffic Control Signal Agreement, Lake Drive/Highway 49 Intersection - Mr. Ahrens explained that the realignment of the Lake Drive/Highway 49 intersection includes the installation of a traffic signal. The Traffic Control Agreement covers cost, maintenance and operation responsibilities between the State of Minnesota, Anoka County and the City of Lino Lakes. The Agreement is consistent with the cost sharing proposal outlined in Resolution No. 92 - 57 previously approved by the City Council. City Council approval to authorize the Mayor and the City Administrator to sign said agreement is requested. The traffic signal will have an emergency vehicle pre-emption system installed to allow emergency vehicles to have control over the signal in emergency situations. The City's responsibility in the maintenance of the traffic signal includes the City cleaning and painting the traffic control signal, cabinet and luminaire mast arm extensions. All other maintenance responsibilities are by the State or the County. The City's cost participation in the installation of the traffic signal is $36,750.00. Mr. Ahrens recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 95 - 135 The City has a standard agreement with Anoka County on public improvement projects covering many items. One item in the agreement is the installation of traffic signals. Typically you count the number of "legs" leading into and out of the intersection. In this case the County is responsible for two (2) legs and the state is responsible for two (2) legs. The standard agreement between Anoka County and this City states that Anoka County is responsible for 50% of the installation and the City is responsible for 50% of the installation. Mr. Ahrens said that in the final analysis, the State is responsible for 50% of the installation and the City and County are each responsible for 25% of the installation.
