• • AGENDA ITEM 6J STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 14, 2000 TOPIC: Resolution Number 2000 -14, Order Feasibility Report, Cedar Street Improvements VOTE REQUIRED: 4/4 Vote Required BACKGROUND: The re- construction of Cedar Street from Otter Lake Road to Elmcrest Avenue was originally to be included in the contract for the re- alignment of Otter Lake Road. However, when the City became aware that Cedar Street was under consideration as an alignment for a new Metropolitan Council sanitary sewer interceptor, the work was delayed. We did not want to reconstruct the roadway then have it disturbed again by the interceptor construction. The current schedule for the interceptor project is construction in 2000. This would allow Cedar Street to also be re- constructed this year. The street re- construction will also involve utility work. City utilities have been extended to serve the GNW Machine site. They will be further extended to Elmcrest Avenue. Water system modifications in the vicinity of Well No. 4, located on the southeast corner of Cedar Street and Clearwater Creek Drive, will also be included. These modifications will be designed to enhance the City's water system pressure capabilities. No work would occur at the intersection of Otter Lake Road where it was recently re- constructed. The funding sources for the project will include City utility trunk funds and assessments previously levied against the Clearwater Creek subdivision. If the City approves a joint powers agreement with the City of Hugo for water service, a portion of the trunk funds will be immediately replaced. There may also be some costs incurred by the Metropolitan Council for the restoration of areas disturbed by their project. OPTIONS: 1. Return to staff for further review. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 2000 -14 ordering a report on improvements for the Cedar Street Improvement project. RECOMMENDATION: Option No. 2 - Adopt Resolution No. 2000 -14 ordering a report, on improvements for the • Cedar Street Improvement project.
