NOV 16 '90 12: 01 T.K.D,R. & ASSOC. F•S Honorable Mayor and City Council Lake Elmo, Minnesota November 16, 1990 Page Two 2. Legion Avenue within Eden Park Addition This street 1s 14 years old and was extensively patched in 1989, It needs a full overlay to preserve the rest of the street. It is proposed to be 100% assessed. Public hearings were held in 1990 and many persons spoke that this project should be postponed until the construction was completed in Packard Park. Packard Park Is now complete. 3, Hytrail Avenue - Highlands "frail to 39th Street This street was paved in the mid-1970s. Upon Inspection this year for Its annual spot patch and overlay, the Public Works Foreman and I felt that an overlay over the entire surface was needed, This project would be similar to other overlay projects that the City has performed over the last few years and is proposed to be 100% assessed. 4. MSA Maintenance Project For the past few years, the City has been requesting its maximum maintenance allotment. Many MSA roads have been overlaid with this money and it has helped to reduce the City's unexpended MSA Construction Fund in order to avoid penalties. The maximum / maintenance allotment for 1991 Is expected to be around $40,000. If 33rd and Laverne is to be done in 1991, It was anticipated to use all of the funds on that project. If that project will not be done, bituminous shouldering on 20th Street between Lake Elmo Avenue and Manning Trail had been suggested. S. Annual Patch and Overlay Maintenance Project The City budgets about $25,000 annually for small patches and overlays which are contracted out. These repairs are not large enough to be considered projects like those described previously but yet are too large for the City crew to handle. This progratn is usually determined by the Maintenance foreman and the Engineer in the spring when the roads are fully visible. Action Requested The Council should decide if they want to proceed with 33rd and Laverne as the 1991 MSA Project. The next step would be to approach the VBWD. If the Council does not want to proceed with 33rd and Laverne, another MSA project should be chosen for 1991 to avoid a penalty because of high fund balance. A feasibility report has previously been prepared for Legion Avenue but would have to be updated for 1991. The Council should direct the Engineer to update the feasibility report.
