COUNCIL MEETING MAY 22, 1995 Council Member Elliott moved to send a letter to Rice Creek Watershed District indicating that the City will find an alternate site acceptable to the Rice Creek Watershed District for mitigation for the Lake Drive (CSAH #23)/Hodgson Road (State Highway #49) improvement. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Bergeson suggested that the site be identified within the next 30 days to allow some time to obtain an agreement with the property owner. Mr. Heth has contacted the MnDOT representative at the State central office regarding when the Cooperative Agreement would be drafted. Mr. Heth was told that the agreement would be completed and delivered to the City on June 2, 1995 for City review. Mr. Heth was told that once the Cooperative Agreement is drafted the money is encumbered. The Cooperative Agreement will be presented to the City Council at the first meeting in June. Mr. Schumacher asked Mr. Heth if the key date to encumber the funds for this project is June 1, 1995. Mr. Heth said no, the date is June 30, 1995, Mr. Heth said Greg Coughlin told him that once the Cooperative Agreement is drafted and clears the Central Office, those monies are encumbered. Mr. Powell recommended that once the Cooperative Agreement is received, a letter be sent to Greg Coughlin stating that the City understands that the funds have been encumbered based on the receipt of the Cooperative Agreement. Mr. Powell said that both the Cooperative Agreement and plans for the improvement and authorization for bids will be presented for Council action at the June 12, 1995 Council meeting. Mr. Schumacher asked Mr. Heth what the status was regarding the intersection signalization agreement. Mr. Heth said that this matter is "stuck" at SEH. He talked to Glenn Van Wormer and was told that this is a standard State Agreement. However, Mr. Van Wormer wants some clarification made between the City's portion of the maintenance and the County's portion of the maintenance. The States portion of the maintenance agreement is standard. Mr. Heth said he would send a memorandum to the City on this matter and Mr. Van Wormer will be in contact with Mr. Powell on this matter.
