He added he will have certified copies of the City's previous resolutions to hand out. Director Johnson reported he had appeared before the Unencumbered Construction Funds Subcommittee on August 17 to explain why Mounds View had not spent it's MSA construction money. He explained that if the City does not use any of the money, the 1984 MSA account will be reduced approximately $25,000, and if nothing is done in 1985, the fund will be reduced at least $50,000. He explained that in order to prevent any reduction, a project of at least $60,000 needs :o be awarded in 1983, which could be achieved by resurfacing song of the streets in the City. Director Johnson stated he has inspected the streets in question and determined that they are resurfacable, but that the engineer from the central office does not agree, and feels the streets should be torn up and rebuilt. Director Johnson asked for authoriza- tion from the Council to obtain an expert opinion. with the cost to be approximately $2,000, to be funded from the revenue sharing account for street maintenance study. He added he hopes to have a proposal ready for the Council by their September 9 meeting. Motion /Second: Linke /Hankner to authorize the Director of Public Works /Community Development the use of $2,000, with the approval of the Clerk /Administrator, to obtain an outside consultant's opinion on the viability of an MSA project for 1983, with the money to be repaid from MSA if the project is approved. 4 ayes 0 nays 12.
