WS – Item #3 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 3 Date: March 4, 2019 To: City Council From: Diane Hankee, City Engineer Re: Elmcrest Avenue and Cedar Street Roadway Paving Background At the January 7, 2019 work session Council directed staff to meet with the City of Hugo and negotiate the cost share split for the Elmcrest Avenue and Cedar Street Roadway Paving. In addition staff was directed to ask Hugo to consider eliminating the hunting restrictions on the north end of Bald Eagle Lake as part of the consideration. On Feb 5, 2019 staff met with Hugo representatives to discuss the project. Hugo provided background on their hunting restrictions. This is a serious public safety issue for them and they were very clear that elimination of the restrictions are not an option. Recognizing that Lino Lakes, in addition to paving the gravel portion of Cedar Street, would need resurface the existing paved portion, Hugo agreed to cover the cost of the Elmcrest Avenue paving. The proposed Cedar Street project includes the reclaimation of the existing paved section from Otter Lake Road east approximately 1,340 feet and paving the gravel section approximately 1,340 feet. The Cedar Street project total estimated project cost is $490,000. Funding for the project is proposed through the street reconstruction fund. This fund was established for arterial street reconstruction. Approximately $247,500 of the fund balance is from special assessments for Cedar Street reconstruction collected from abutting developments. The $242,500 of remaining costs could be funded through state aid. If the Council would like to move forward with the proposed cost share staff will draft a Joint Powers Agreement between the two Cities for Council consideration. Requested Council Direction Provide staff direction regarding the proposed Joint Powers Agreement and funding. Attachments 1. Project Location Map
