RESOLUTION
AGENDA ITEM: State Highway 36 South Frontage Road Study – Resolution Approving the
Minnesota Department of Transportation Agency Agreement No. 03330
SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
THROUGH: Dean A. Zuleger, City Administrator
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
consider approving Resolution No. 2013-24 Approving the Minnesota Department of
Transportation Agency Agreement No. 03330 for the Federal Aid Funding for State Highway 36
South Frontage Road Study.
STAFF REPORT: On behalf of the City, MnDOT applied for and secured Federal Aid Funding
to complete preliminary engineering work to develop a preferred future alignment of a south
frontage road to State Highway 36.
Federal Aid Funding has been obtained in the amount of 80% of the project costs, or $64,000.
The City of Lake Elmo must pay the balance of $16,000 and any costs over and above the
project budget, if necessary. Costs incurred prior to this authorization are not eligible for federal
participation. The preliminary engineering work will be completed by the City of Lake Elmo,
through its consultant, with MnDOT designated to act as the City’s agent to accept and disburse
funds as incurred for the Project. The City is further subject of the terms and conditions as
identified in the attached Agreement.
The project will endeavor to identify improvements along the State Highway 36 corridor
necessary to improve east-west access for Lake Elmo property owners and businesses. The
project will consist of three phases including concept development, preliminary design and
layout of a preferred alternative, and preparation of a Met Council interchange request for the
preferred alternative.
The work will be participative in nature seeking to gain stakeholder input and guidance and will
include at least two council workshops, meetings with city staff, and meetings with MnDOT,
Washington County, Met Council and the City of Grant. A project schedule will be developed
once the City’s consultant has been retained.
