COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 24, 1995 Resolution No. 95 - 52 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 53 Ordering Preparation of a Feasibility Report for the 12th Avenue/Holly Drive MSA Improvements - Mr. Powell explained that the 12th Avenue/Holly Drive route from CSAH 10 (Birch Street) to County Road J (Ash Street) is designated as a Municipal State Aid Street. The upgrade of the 12th Avenue/Holly Drive roadway is necessary to service the additional traffic generated by the Trapper's Crossing subdivision and future traffic needs of the City. As part of the Trapper's Crossing preliminary plat approval, the developer was required to participate in a satisfactory plan for the reconstruction of the roadway. The first step toward improving the roadway is preparation of a feasibility report for the project. At the City Council meeting on February 13, 1995, a cost sharing proposal was approved whereby the City would reimburse the developer for 50% of the feasibility report costs, not to exceed $10,000.00, if the project proceeds as a Municipal State Aid project where this cost would be reimbursed by the State Aid fund. Mr. Powell recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 95 - 53 Ordering Preparation of a Feasibility Report for the 12 Avenue/Holly Drive Municipal State Aid Improvement. He noted that the report should be ready for either Council meeting in May. Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 53. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Council Member Kuether suggested that a time limit be placed on the project such as if the project does not commence within one year from the date the City Council receives the report, the City will not be responsible for costs of the report. After further discussion, Council Member Elliott agreed to add the above described time limit to her motion. Council Member Kuether amended her second to the motion to include the time limit. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.
