AGENDA ITEM: Municipal State Aid System – Resolution Establishing Municipal State Aid
Streets
SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator Rob Weldon, Public Works Director
Chad Isakson, Assistance City Engineer
BACKGROUND: As a Municipal State Aid city, the City of Lake Elmo is eligible to designate certain
higher volume roadways that are functionally classified as collector or arterial streets, as Municipal State
Aid routes, and are eligible to receive a proportionate share of state aid funding to assist with the
maintenance and construction of the MSA roadway network. Streets designated as Municipal State Aid
Streets must meet the selection criteria of Rule 8820.0700, sub. 3. The City is allowed to designate roadway
mileage up to a cap of 20% of the total local and county roadway system within the City limits. In addition,
the City is allowed to designate any county road or county state aid highway (CSAH) which is turned back
to the city with said mileage being over and above the 20% limitation.
Municipal State Aid (MSA) funding is allocated in accordance with state statutes with one-half of the annual
funding based on each city’s population relative to other state aid cities, and one-half of the annual funding
based on each city’s estimated “Needs”.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council approve the designation of 5th Street North, from
Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13) to Keats Avenue (CSAH 19) as a municipal state aid route thereby increasing
the municipal state aid system by 1.82 miles?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: As part of the City’s Municipal State Aid System the City must
certify to the Office of State Aid the total mileage within the corporate limits of Lake Elmo. Due to the
development activities over the past several years Lake Elmo has increased the total mileage of streets by
8.85 miles. The certification of these streets to the office of State Aid in 2016 allows the City to designate
an additional 1.82 miles of municipal state Aid streets (20%).
Staff has reviewed the City’s Municipal State-Aid road network and is recommending that 5th Street North,
from Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13) to Keats Avenue (CSAH 19) be designated as a Municipal State Aid
Street. 5th Street North is an east-west collector street identified in the City’s Comprehensive Transportation
Plan as necessary to accommodate the planned growth and development in the I-94 corridor. Over the past
several years, portions of 5th Street North, from Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13) to Keats Avenue (CSAH 19),
have been constructed as part of the Savona, Boulder Ponds and Inwood subdivisions. By mid-July of 2017
it is projected that this entire stretch of street will be paved.
FISCAL IMPACT: With the designation of 5th Street North as a municipal state aid route the City will
increase the City’s state aid system by approximately 1.82 miles of roadway. The additional roadway will
increase the City’s determination of Needs on an annual basis resulting in an increased allocation of
Municipal State Aid funding.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve, as part of the Consent
Agenda, Resolution No. 2017-032 approving revisions to the City’s Municipal State Aid System (MSAS)
as presented to designate 5th Street North, from Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13) to Keats Avenue (CSAH 19)
as a municipal state aid route for the determination of Needs. If removed from the consent agenda, the
recommended motion for the action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution 2017-032, Establishing Municipal State Aid Streets.”
