AGENDA ITEM 1H
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala
CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: August 14, 2006
TOPIC:
Consideration of Resolution No. 06 -133,
Supporting Local Road Improvement Funding
Application - Lake Drive (CSAH 23)/35W
Interchange
ACTION REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND
In 2006 the State Legislature appropriated $16 million into the Local Road Improvement
Program, including approximately $7.5 million in the Routes of Regional Significance Account.
The Routes of Regional Significance Account is used as a grant for expenditures as specified to
cities, towns, and counties to assist in paying the cost of constructing or reconstructing city
streets, county highways, or town roads with statewide or regional significance that have not
been fully funded through other state, federal, or local funding sources.
Selection of projects in this account is based upon the consideration of:
1. the availability of other state, federal, or local funds;
2. the regional significance of the route;
3. effectiveness of the proposed project in eliminating a transportation system
deficiency;
4. the number of person who will be positively impacted by the project;
5. the project's contribution to other local, regional, or state economic development or
redevelopment efforts; and
6. the ability of the local unit of government to adequately provide for the safe operation
and maintenance of the facility upon project completion.
The maximum award amount is $500,000. Based on the eligibility requirements staff believes
the City can submit a strong application for the Lake Drive project. Applications are due by
September 1, 2006 with funding decisions made in late fall.
