Consideration of Resolution No. 06 -79 Approving Joint Powers Agreement with City of Centerville for 21st Avenue Improvements ACTION REQUIRED: Simple Majority BACKGROUND The City of Centerville is proposing to construct a new backage road, south of Main Street, between 20th Avenue South (CSAH 54) and 21st Avenue. The proposed roadway project would also include the extension of 21st Avenue to a point approximately 900 feet south of its existing terminus. The intent of the proposed road project is to; 1) provide new access to commercial and industrial properties south of main street; 2) provide vehicle circulation to off set access limitations contemplated as part of the CSAH 14 reconstruction project; and 3) if built this year would serve to minimize business access disruption during the CSAH 14 project in 2007. The proposed roadway is generally consistent with the planning efforts that have taken place over the last three years including the CSAH 14 Planning Study and the City's 1- 35E Corridor AUAR. Each of the studies contemplated the need for a backage road system to complement the planned county road improvements. It is staffs understanding that the City of Centerville has advertised for bids and is planning to award the contract for the project in May. Centerville has also inform staff that they are prepared to build a 20 foot wide gravel road, within Centerville, in the event that Lino Lakes does not commit to the project. 21st Avenue straddles the corporate limits of the City of Centerville and Lino Lakes. For the project to move forward the two cities will need to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). Centerville has already prepared the JPA based, in part, on the one previously entered into for the first leg of 21st Avenue. As proposed in the JPA, Lino Lakes would be responsible for 50% of the 21St Avenue extension costs estimated at $150,000 and acquisition of the right -of -way in Lino Lakes. The City does not have this project programmed in its draft 5 -year Financial Plan and
