014 COUNCIL MEETING February 24, 1986 Page Fourteen B. Circle Pines Joint Water Services Agreement - Mr. Toddie explained Circle Pines has expressed interest in pursuing a joint powers agreement and he presented the Council a draft agreement which he had completed for their review. Since the draft was received in the office today, Mr. Schumacher asked that Mr. Volk and the City Council take some time to review it. Mr. Marier moved to table consideration of this item so that Mr. Volk and the City Attorney have time to review the document and place this item on the March 10, 1986 agenda. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. C. 80th Street MSA Bridge Funding Mr. Toddie told the Council that the bridge has been approved for replacement funding however there are no funds in the Minnesota Department of Transportation Bridge Bonding Funds. This session of the legislature is currently working on the Bridge Bonding Bill and MnDOT expects the bill to be passed and there will be funds for this project. The demolition of the old bridge and the engineering will not be covered by the bridge bond funding but can be covered by the Lino Lakes MSA state aid funds. The 80th Street reconstruction project is contingent on the bridge replacement and obtaining the proper right -of -way. The joint powers agreeement statcs that Anoka County is to provide to the City a right -of -way map. This has not yet been done. Mr. Toddie will contact Mr. John Olson at the Anoka County Highway Department to get more specific right -of -way information. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Toddie to keep the Council updated on this matter. Mr. Toddie said that a preliminary plan will have to be prepared for the bridge at Hardwood Creek. The costs of preparing the engineering plans can then be determined. The preliminary plans then must be given to MnDOT for their approval and then the final plans have to be prepared and submitted to MnDOT. When the plans are completed and accepted, they are placed on the shelf to await funding. Mr. Schumacher had talked to County Commissioner Langfeld who said she did not see any reason to delay this project and get in touch with the Anoka County Highway Department. Mr. Olson has contacted Mr. Toddie and indicated the project would be completed in 1987. Mr. Marier moved to have the City Engineer prepare preliminary plans for this project. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
