CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6D STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director MEETING DATE: April 13, 2020 TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 20-36 Approving the Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County for the Reconstruction of Birch Street from Hokah Drive to Old Birch Street VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting approval of the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the City of Lino Lakes and Anoka County to facilitate the reconstruction of Birch Street in 2021. BACKGROUND Anoka County is proposing to reconstruct Birch Street from Hokah Drive to Old Birch Street in 2021. The improvements includes construction of roundabouts at Tomahawk Trail and West Shadow Lake Drive, storm water quality improvements, utility and pedestrian trail improvements and appurtenant work. The estimate construction cost of the project is $4,269,398.00. The City's estimated share of the construction is $476,534.50. The City will also share in the cost of construction engineering at a rate of 8% of City's construction share. This is estimated at $38,122.76. The total estimated City share of the project is $514,657.26. The City's share of the project will be funded through Municipal State Aid (MSA) and water utility funds. Anoka County began discussion of the project with the City Council in January of 2019. In October of 2019 the County held the first open house and presented a concept layout for public comment. Following the open house, to address access issues east of West Shadow, the County proposed a 3rd roundabout at Old Birch Street. A 2nd open house was held in January of 2020. The 3rd roundabout option received mixed reviews. Following further discussion with the City Council, the County has modified the proposal to include the two roundabouts and a mill and overlay between Kingfisher and Old Birch Street. This would allow for consideration of an Old Birch Street roundabout with future corridor improvement proposals. The Joint Powers Agreement has been drafted to set forth a basic understanding of both the City and County project responsibilities and cost share. Significant Components include: • Description of improvements and agreement on layout. • Intersection access modifications. • Reservation of land for possible location of Well No. 7.
