• STAFF ORIGINATOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: TOPIC: ACTION REQUIRED: BACKGROUND AGENDA ITEM 6B Michael Grochala September 26, 2011 Consideration of Resolution No. 11 -98 Authorizing Execution of Letter of Understanding with City of Centerville, 21st Avenue Extension. 3/5 Vote Metro Transit has been working with city staff, the City of Centerville and property owners to construct a 300 space park and ride facility adjacent to the 35E /CSAH 14 Interchange. The preferred property is located in the NW quadrant of the interchange area. Construction of the park and ride would require extension of 21st Avenue north of CSAH 14. A final determination of the park and ride locations is dependent on road and utility costs. To move forward with facility planning the property owners have requested • that the city determine the scope and cost of the required street and utility improvements necessary to service the site. For planning purposes the City Engineer, WSB, has submitted a proposal to prepare a preliminary layout and cost estimate. The estimated cost of the preliminary engineering is $6,000. The cost of the study is proposed to be borne by two of the abutting property owners. Once funds are deposited in an escrow account staff would move forward with preparation of the study. Since the proposed roadway will straddle the municipal limits with the City of Centerville, any construction will require approval of a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). The purpose of the JPA is to allocate responsibilities for design, construction and future maintenance of the roadway. The attached letter of understanding is intended to provide a general understanding of the project between the two cities, authorize staff to proceed with engineering upon deposit of funds in escrow, and authorizing staff to prepare a Joint Powers Agreement, if the project moves forward. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 11 -98. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 11 -98
