Lilac Street Rehabilitation - City Engineer Wedel distributed his staff report. <br />The council has authorized the turn back of Lilac Street from Anoka County to the City. <br />As part of that process, the city received $300,000 for future overlay of the street. After <br />a study of the roadway condition, Mr. Wedel explained that it was determined that a <br />reclamation project would better serve the situation. Since Anoka County is in the <br />process of establishing a large reclamation project, he asked them to include Lilac Street <br />as an alternate in the bidding process. The price bid is favorable but is approximately <br />$12,000 over the $300,000 available in the city budget. Mr. Wedel is asking if the <br />council would like to utilize existing balance in the pavement management funds to <br />facilitate the project. <br />1 <br />
