DATE: April 18, 2017
CONSENT
ITEM #: 11
AGENDA ITEM: CSAH 14 (Stillwater Boulevard) Signal Maintenance Agreements –
Approve Cooperative Maintenance Agreements with Washington County
SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Rob Weldon, Public Works Director
Chad Isakson, Assistance City Engineer
BACKGROUND: The Minnesota Department of Transportation has turned back the ownership and
maintenance responsibility of State Highway 5 within the City of Lake Elmo to Washington County, now
known as CSAH 14 (Stillwater Boulevard). Washington County has therefore taken ownership of the traffic
signal systems within the City located at the two intersections of Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo
Avenue, and the intersection of Stillwater Boulevard and Manning Avenue. In addition, Washington
County has also taken ownership of the roundabout intersection within the City located at Stillwater
Boulevard and Jamaca Avenue. With the transfer of ownership, Washington County has assumed the
maintenance responsibilities at these intersections which were previously borne by MnDOT.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council approve the Cooperative Maintenance
Agreements with Washington County to reflect the new roadway ownership for Old Trunk Highway No. 5
and outlining the respective ownership and maintenance responsibilities for these intersections in
accordance with the Washington County standard policies?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The purpose for the Cooperative Maintenance Agreements are to
outline the respective ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the various intersections between the
City of Lake Elmo and Washington County. Attached to this report is a summary of the before and after
intersection maintenance responsibilities, showing the City’s responsibilities under MnDOT ownership and
the proposed City responsibilities under County ownership.
FISCAL IMPACT: No cost estimates have been developed for the ongoing maintenance and replacement
costs for the various improvements. Under the new agreements the maintenance responsibilities for the City
of Lake Elmo have been lessened.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve, as part of the Consent
Agenda, Resolution No. 2017-038 approving Cooperative Maintenance Agreements No. 9972, No. 9973
and No. 9974 with Washington County for the CSAH 14 (Stillwater Boulevard) Intersections. If removed
from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2017-038 approving Cooperative Maintenance Agreements No.
9972, No. 9973 and No. 9974 with Washington County for the CSAH 17 (Stillwater Blvd)
Intersections”.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution No. 2017-038 Approving Cooperative Maintenance Agreements No. 9972, No. 9973
and No. 9974 with Washington County.
2. CSAH 14 Intersection Maintenance Responsibilities – 2017.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
LAKE ELMO AND THE COUNTY OF WASHINGTON
FOR MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEMS
AT THE TWO INTERSECTIONS OF COUNTY STATE AID
HIGHWAY NO. 14 (STILLWATER BLVD) AND COUNTY
STATE AID HIGHWAY NO. 17 (LAKE ELMO AVE)
THIS AGREEMENT, by and between the City of Lake Elmo, a municipal corporation, herein after
referred to as the "City", and Washington County, a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota,
hereinafter referred to as the "County”, shall consist of this agreement and Exhibit A.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the County has recently taken ownership of traffic signal systems within the City located at
the two intersections of Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue which were previously owned by
the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and with said transfer has assumed certain traffic signal
maintenance responsibilities at said intersections which were previously borne by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation, and;
WHEREAS, the County seeks to improve the consistency of traffic signal maintenance responsibilities
throughout the County, and;
WHEREAS, a cooperative effort between the City and County is the appropriate method to facilitate the
maintenance of the traffic signal system; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is made pursuant to statutory authority contained in Minnesota Statute
162.17 sub.1 and Minnesota Statute 471.59.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY MUTUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
A. PURPOSE
The purpose of this agreement is set forth in the above whereas clauses which are all incorporated
by reference as if fully set forth herein.
B. MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES
1. This agreement and all of its provisions shall apply only to the traffic control signal systems
located on County State Aid Highway (CSAH) No. 14, also known as Stillwater Boulevard and
formerly known as Minnesota Trunk Highway No. 5, at its two intersections with CSAH No. 17
(Lake Elmo Avenue) within the City of Lake Elmo, as shown in Exhibit A.
2. This agreement shall supersede any and all prior agreements related to the maintenance of the
traffic control signal systems at the intersections of CSAH 14 and CSAH 17.
3. The County shall, at its sole cost and expense, pay all monthly electrical service expenses
necessary to operate the traffic control signal systems including all cabinet and control
equipment and integral streetlights, and including the cost of establishing and perpetuating a
connection to the electrical service and subsequent ongoing electrical service expenses.
1. The County shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain and keep in repair the integral
luminaires (overhead street lights) and all their components, including replacement of the
existing luminaires if necessary, and shall maintain and keep in repair the electrical connection
to the luminaire heads.

2. The County owns the traffic control signals and all of their components and shall, at its sole cost
and expense, operate, maintain and keep in repair the traffic control signal systems including
but not limited to the relamping of vehicular and pedestrian traffic signal indications, cleaning
and maintenance of the control cabinets, maintenance of the Emergency Vehicle Preemption
(EVP) systems, attached signage, traffic signal interconnection and master controller, and repair
of any and all physical damage, except as set forth in the following section.
3. The County considers paint to be an aesthetic component of the traffic signal systems.
Therefore the City shall, at its sole cost and expense, clean and paint the traffic control signal
systems and integral streetlights at the sole cost and expense of the City, having first obtained a
permit from the County which may place conditions on activities within the right-of-way.
Alternatively, the City may, at its discretion, request in writing that the County paint the traffic
control signal systems and integral streetlights at the sole cost and expense of the City.
4. The County shall, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible for identification and location of
the underground components of the traffic control signal system as required by the Gopher
State One Call system.
5. Any EVP equipment currently installed on the signal covered by this agreement, including
optical detectors, control electronics, and confirmation lights shall remain the property of
Washington County.
6. The City shall not revise by addition or deletion, nor alter or adjust any component, part,
sequence, or timing of the aforesaid traffic control signal system or EVP systems ; however
nothing herein shall be construed as restraint of prompt, prudent action by properly constituted
authorities in situations where part of such traffic control signal systems may be directly involved
in an emergency.
7. The EVP systems provided for in this agreement shall be installed, operated, maintained,
upgraded, or removed in accordance with the following conditions and requirements:
a. Emitter units may be installed and used only on vehicles responding to an emergency as
defined in Minnesota Statutes Sections 169.011, subd. 3 and 169.03. The City will,
provide the County Engineer or his duly appointed representative a list of all such
vehicles with emitter units upon request.
b. Malfunctions of the EVP systems shall be reported to the County immediately.
c. Only in the event said EVP systems or components are, in the opinion of the County,
being misused or the terms set forth herein are violated, and such misuse or violation
continues after receipt by the City of written notice thereof from the County, the County
may remove, modify, restrict, or deactivate the EVP systems. Upon removal of the EVP
systems pursuant to this paragraph, the field wiring, cabinet wiring, detector receivers,
infrared detector heads, and indicator lamps and all other components shall become the
property of the County.
d. All timing of said EVP systems shall be determined by the County.
C. CIVIL RIGHTS AND NON-DISCRIMINATION
The provisions of Minn. Stat. 181.59 and of any applicable ordinance relating to civil rights and
discrimination shall be considered part of this Agreement as if fully set further herein, and shall be
part of any Agreement entered into by the parties with any contractor subcontractor, or material
suppliers.

by any third parties as a consequence of any act or omission on the part of said County employees
while so engaged on any of the construction and/or construction engineering work or services to be
