BACKGROUND Anoka County is currently reconstructing the intersection of County State Aid Highway 14 (Main Street) and County Road 53 (Sunset Ave.). The improvements include the construction of a roundabout (RAB), storm water quality improvements and lighting. The construction, engineering, and lighting costs after bidding are $1,921,190. Anoka County received $1,370,000 in federal funding for the project. The City’s share, which is State Aid eligible, is $51,000. The roundabout lighting service and maintenance is the responsibility of the Cities of Blaine and Lino Lakes, thus the project requires the execution of a Joint Powers Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement Blaine will bill Lino Lakes annually for our share of the energy bills. Each city is solely responsible for maintenance of lights within each City. Additional information on the project can be found on the project website at: https://www.csah14roundabout.com/. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 24-80 approving the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Blaine for Street Lighting Service and Maintenance at the Intersection of CSAH 14 (Main Street) and CR 53 (Sunset Avenue). 393
