WS — Item 4 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 4 <br />Date: June 1, 2009 <br />To: City Council <br />From: James E. Studenski, City Engineer <br />Re: Pine Street - Petition to have the City of Lino Lakes Research the cost <br />of paving Pine Street. <br />Background <br />• Attached is the map from the last Lino Lakes Work Session showing the Pine Street Area <br />• <br />Petition to Research the Cost of Paving Pine Street, dated May 4, 2009. <br />1) Current Maintenance <br />The City grades the road monthly and sprays the gravel street for dust control once a <br />year. <br />2) Funding <br />a) State Aid. <br />Pine Street is not designated as a Lino Lakes state aid street, therefore state aid <br />funds are not available for this project. State aid streets are typically streets that <br />connect a County or State Highway to another and serve higher volumes of <br />traffic. The City of Columbus does not have the population to qualify itself for <br />state funding and therefore it can not be designated as a state aid route. <br />b) City <br />If the City does not assess 100% of the costs of this project and uses general <br />funds, the City will be required to place this project as a referendum question. <br />3) Cost Estimate <br />The cost estimate prepared by the Columbus City Engineer in June 2004 for a 24 -foot <br />rural street with 3.5 inches of bituminous has been revised to reflect current prices. <br />1 <br />
