LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 2 sound and found the surfacing has not had an overlay in nearly 30 years. They would be looking at putting in a overlay before they turn it back to the City which is stated in the resolution. The County cannot turn back the roadway to the City until 2 years after construction so the County may very well maintain that segment for a period of two years. The requirement is two years to a township by State law, but there is no requirement to a City. On the other hand the City has to pass a resolution allowing them to change; whereas the township doesn't need a resolution. City Engineer Bohrer explained that part of the definition of a municipal state aid street is, which 20th St. is , it must begin and end at another state aid road. Bohrer hoped that the connection point, which is in West Lakeland Township and townships cannot have state aid roads, could be within County right-of-way and techically meet our criteria for a municipal state aid road. Bohrer felt that this concern on municipal state aid designation has been adequately answered. Bohrer replied that the City and the township will have to get together to decide who is going to maintain what portion of the road. City Administrator Overby raised a concern on the wording of the resolution. The working indicates that "Further Resolved... Lake Elmo will assume jurisdiction over existing Manning Avenue and connections within the corporate limits that is not designated as CSAH 15." Initially, this would appear to mean that Lake Elmo would take over jurisdiction of that portion of Manning Avenue that is located within its corporate limits. However, the map indicated the connections that are referenced by the wording in the resolution are actually both located in West Lakeland Township. Overby felt if this is correct, then the resolution would have to be amended to strike out the words "and connections". Mr. Herold responded with the reason he just didn't include the City because the majority of the realignment is outside the City. Mr. Herold agreed with Bohrer to restate the last sentence in the resolution to read "Lake Elmo will assume jurisdiction over existing Manning Avenue within its corporate limits that is not designated as C.S.A.H. 15• The City Council felt that the concerns they had. have been met, but wanted to be sure that the City does not give up any MSA capabilities on 20th Street. Bohrer replied that if there is a drawback, the City will end up with a 112 mile of road to maintain. The City Council had no objections to the proposed resolution, but - recommended that the City Attoney look over the resolution. City Engineer Bohrer will meet with West Lakeland Township in the interim to discuss the maintenance of the turned -back segments of Manning Avenue. B. Re -opening of 15th Street Ross and Lillian Henderson have purchased 58 acres of property on the southside of 15th Street, located east of the barricade. They intend
