LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 17, 1990 PAGE 3 estimated construction cost of this project is between $28,000 and $35,000 depending on whether the shoulders are paved. Since this cost is less than the total amount available in the 1990 MSA Allotment, the remainder should be transferred into the appropriate City general maintenance account and seal coat account to pay for general maintenance and seal coating on MSA streets. An equal amount of general and seal coat funds should then be transferred out of the City accounts and into the 33rd Street and Laverne Avenue project account for the 1991 project. Bohrer indicated the reason he brought this matter before the Council. was that for all other MSA overlay projects, some amount has been assessed. If the City paid for the construction from MSA funds, but assesed for the engineering and administrative costs, the assessment rate would be around $2.00 per parcel. Based on past practice of the City assessing for all other MSA overlay projects, the Council agreed to an assessment rate around $200 per parcel.

Traffic Concern on County Road 17 Dick Acres, 2986 Lake Elmo, brought in his concern on excessive speed on County Road 17 (Lake Elmo Avenue) just south of 20th Street up thru the Old Village to Highway 5. (See attachment, Dick Acree's comments) The Council discussed the concern with Deputy, Jesse Kurtz and. City Engineer, Larry Bohrer. The Council suggested looking at: 1. Reducing the speed limit to 30 mph in this area. 2. Placement of stop signs at several strategic locations. 3. The possibility of constructing "speed monitored by radar" signs. The City Administrator will write a letter to Larry Bousquet, Wash. Cty Traffic Eng, for his input on the Council's (3) suggestions. In reference to Mr. Acree's comment that two officers of the Sheriff's Dept, attested to traffic was allowed to travel at 39 mph or less in a 30 mph zone 'without receiving a citation, Deputy Kurtz responded that it seemed comments were taken out of content, that they have run radar on County Road 17 and found speeding not that bad of a problem.
