Consideration of Resolution No. 05-45, <br />Authorizing Preparation of Feasibility <br />Study, Shenandoah Area Street & Utility <br />Improvements. <br />ACTION REQUIRED: 4/5 Vote <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City of Lino Lakes currently has over 84 miles of local streets that need to be <br />maintained. In 1996, the city completed a pavement management study to more <br />efficiently monitor and allocate resources for ongoing maintenance of streets. Included <br />within the study was a plan that identified a phased reconstruction schedule for streets <br />that were deteriorating beyond the scope of general maintenance. <br />The City began implementation of the phasing plan in 1998 with the reconstruction of <br />streets located in the Lakes Addition development. In 2003 the City completed the <br />feasibility studies for phase 2 of the plan which included the streets within the <br />Shenandoah area and West Shadow Lake Drive, north of Birch Street. These <br />improvements were incorporated into the proposed 2004/2005 Street Improvement <br />Project. <br />As established in the City Charter, in cases were improvements are proposed to be <br />specially assessed against benefiting properties and where less than 100% of the <br />estimated cost of the proposed improvement is to be paid for by special assessments, <br />connection charges, or any outside funding sources other than the City general fund, <br />the proposed project must be submitted to the voters of the City for approval. <br />The 2004/2005 Street Improvement project was submitted to the voters in the 2003 <br />general election and failed. Following the election TKDA, the City's Engineer, <br />completed an updated Pavement Management Report, which includes condition ratings <br />of each city street to prioritize rehabilitation and /or reconstruction of roadways_ <br />
