CSAH 34 Birch Street Project Update – Community Development Director 15 Michael Grochala reviewed the draft Joint Powers Agreement that has been prepared for 16 City review and sets forth a basic understanding of both the City and County project 17 responsibilities and cost share. The City’s estimated share, based on the two roundabout 18 option, is approximately $571,000. Over 1/3 of the costs are related to relocation of trunk 19 water main and would be funded by the Water Utility fund and the balance of the City’s 20 share would be funded by Municipal State Aid funds. There is no levy impact for the 21 project currently proposed (two roundabout option). He explained that Anoka County is 22 looking for municipal consent so that they can move forward with acquisition and final 23 design. 24 25 The Council expressed a desire to perform a Pedestrian Traffic Simulation, as well as 26 looking at changing speed limits along Birch. County representatives reviewed a plan for 27 students exiting the school and use of crossing-guards. The County reported a speed 28 study could be requested after the improvements are installed. There will be advisory 29 speed signs as drivers approach the roundabouts, but the speed in between will be posted 30 as it is today. 31 32 Regarding the well proposed in the area of Birch Street, Director Grochala noted the 33 County did receive a bid estimated at $4,000 to salvage the brick from 509 Birch Street; 34 however, this cost does not include mortar removal or hauling of material. The Council 35 agreed to move away from the idea of salvaging the house at 509 Birch Street for use as a 36 well house, as well as the idea of salvaging the bricks for use in other projects, as the cost 37 is too high. 38 39 2. Water Treatment Plant Feasibility Study - Community Development Director 40 Michael Grochala reviewed the proposal submitted by WSB to complete a Water 41 Treatment Plant feasibility study at a cost of $39,886.
