AGENDA ITEM 6B STAFF ORIGINATOR: David Ahrens, Public Works Director /City Engineer DATE: January 26, 1998 TOPIC: Resolution No. 98 -08, Consider Joint Powers Agreement with City of Centerville, 21st Avenue Street and Utility Project INTRODUCTION: Staff is requesting Council approval of a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Centerville for construction cost and maintenance responsibilities of 21st Avenue. BACKGROUND: The need for a Joint Powers Agreement is a result of Council approval of the Clearwater Creek Business Center plat at the December 15, 1997, Council Meeting. The plat is located south of Main Street between 35E and 21' Avenue (refer to enclosed location map ). The road serving the plat is 21st Avenue which is centered on the corporate boundary of Lino Lakes and Centerville. The City of Lino Lakes has prepared a feasibility study for improving 21' Avenue (discussed under separate agenda item) and one of the main issues is the cost sharing and maintenance responsibilities between Lino Lakes and Centerville. DISCUSSION: The proposed Joint Powers Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney, engineering consultant and staff. The Agreement is under review by Centerville officials with discussion taking place at the January 21, 1998, worksession with possible action taken on January 28, 1998, Council Meeting. To date staff has not heard of any outstanding issues from Centerville. The Agreement states that all project costs, except property acquisition, related to street and storm sewer work will be split equally between the two cities. The utility work is within Lino Lakes and therefore, is Lino Lakes responsibility. Maintenance responsibilities include Centerville providing winter snow removal and sanding and Lino Lakes providing street sweeping, pothole filling and crack sealing. Future sealcoating will be completed under separate agreement. Each City has approval over the other City's driveway locations. OPTIONS: 1. Return to staff for further review. 2. Adopt Resolution Number 98 -08 authorizing and directing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Joint Powers Agreement with Centerville for 21st Avenue
