CLAIMS M/S/P Hunt/Conlin - to approve the March 19,1996 Claims #4580 through #4596 as presented. (Motion passed 4-0). 4. PUBLIC INFORMATIONAUINQUIRIES: A. County Road 13 Reconstruction Project; Washington County Public Works, Resolution 96-5 approval of plans Don Theisen, Washington County Public Works, requested final plan approval of the County Road 13 Reconstruction Project. Councilman DeLapp explained when the Council gave preliminary plan approval one Council member wanted no more than 32' for the width, others would be happy with 36' width. All the residents, except one, suggested they wanted a 44' back-to-back. As part of that, we now have a $9,400 r-o-w claim. DeLapp could not see any circumstances under which he would support the County to build this size of road, let alone, force the residents to pay for any portion of it. City Engineer Bohrer suggested looking into the possibility of the City using Municipal State Aid funds to pay for Its share of some of these items that would have been eligible for state aid. If the Council desires to use MSA funds, they would have to pass a resolution requesting the use of MSA funds for an off system (off the municipal state aid system) expenditure. Mr. Theisen would check into this and find out what it would take for municipal state aid. Attorney Filla pointed out the City can assess benefits received on a state aid project even if you are fully reimbursed by state aid money. Mayor John brought up a resident's concern on the junction of Stillwater Blvd. and Inwood there is a telephone pole at the corner which interferes with site distances and causes vehicles to veer to the center of the road when they want to turn right because they cannot see. Mr. Theisen expected the pole will be relocated. Work will start in late May, and the County will be putting out a newsletter updating the residents and Council on the reconstruction project. M/S/P Hunt/Conlin - to adopt Resolution No. 96-5 approving plans for Project No. SAP 82-613-04 County State Aid Highway No. 13. (Motion passed 3-1:DeLapp). M/S/P Hunt/John - to approve the Washington County Cooperative Agreement with the City of Lake Elmo for design, construction, and maintenance of County State Aid Hwy 13 (Inwood Avenue) between CSAH 10 (10th Street) and CSAH 6 (Stillwater Blvd) as amended. (Motion passed 4-0). M/S/P Hunt/John - to reconsider the previous motion. (Motion passed 4-0).
