Clerk • Jeff Rein- rt, Mayor • CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jason C. Wedel, City Engineer MEETING DATE: April 22, 2013 TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 13 -44 Municipal State Aid Street Revocations and Designations VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTION The Municipal State Aid Street (MSAS) system allows cities with a population over 5,000 to be eligible to receive additional funding for road improvements and maintenance from the State Highway Users Fund. Each year, the City receives an allocation based 50% upon its population and 50% upon the construction "Needs" of its roadways. To receive funding, the City can designate up to 20% of its local streets to receive MSAS funding. BACKGROUND Over the past two years, State Aid has worked on creating a new methodology as to how it calculates the construction Needs. Instead of calculating the Needs based upon a comparison of existing to proposed roadway characteristics as was done previously, the new system will be based namely upon existing traffic volume of the roadway. This means that the higher the ADT, the more money that segment will generate. In preparation to get the most funding for our system based upon this new calculation system, we have reviewed the City's entire street system to identify streets with higher traffic volumes to maximize the amount of mileage designated as well as the allocation that could be received. Per State Aid Rules, a City is allowed to add mileage annually if a letter request is submitted by March 1st. If the proposed route is accepted by the State Aid office, a formal council resolution adding it the system is required by June 1st Prior to making any revisions, the City has 0.08 miles available to designate based on the December 31, 2012 Certification of Mileage. With the proposed revisions, the City will have 0.00 miles available for designation. State Aid approved the requested revisions on March 26th. The City Council must now pass a formal resolution to finalize the proposed routes. • DISCUSSION The City has requested to revoke Rondeau Lake Road/84th Street, Birch Street/21 st Avenue, Robinson Avenue and parts of West Shadow Lake Drive and Holly Drive. These segments are non - existing routes or low volume existing segments that are tied to non - existing routes. The non - existing segments will generate the least amount of dollars for the City under the new Needs calculation system if they remain on the system. These routes were included previously for system continuity per the State Aid rules and also because they maximized the dollars for the generated for the City due to the fact that they claimed unused mileage. The designation of Baldwin Lake Road, Woodridge Lane, Hawthorn Road/Painted Turtle Road, Langer Lane, Stella Lane, Timberwolf Road, Sherman Lake Road, Lakeview Drive, Elmcrest Avenue, Century Trail, Lois Lane, Kelly Street, and the extension of Tart Lake Road will fulfill the State Aid requirements of system continuity and designates the mileage to existing segments with higher traffic volumes. The designation of Elmcrest Avenue is a joint designation with the City of Hugo due to the common boundary at the City limits. Hugo performed a traffic count on this route and determined that this is a highly traveled route. The traffic is namely due to destinations within Hugo but the City of Lino Lakes will still benefit from a dollar generation standpoint to share in this designation with Hugo. These revisions will result in the City maximizing its available designation mileage which will in turn maximize the State Aid Needs dollars'that are allocated to the City.
