That application is due on October 31st and they will require some 2 information from Mounds View in order to review the signalization and road alignment. They have indicated 3 that they would potentially be willing for fund 50%of the signal. To continue the process,SEH is 4 recommending that the following work be done: 5 6 -a Signal Justification Report; 7 -a preliminary Road Alignment Plan;and 8 -a Cooperative Agreement Program for MNDOT to enter into the funding. 9 10 Commissioner Stigney stated he feels if the city has a proposed plan,it would be appropriate to let the residents 11 know what is going on and obtain their input. 12 13 Ms.Bennett explained that if the city waits,they will not be able to get into the funding cycle with MNDOT 14 and could lose the possibility of having 50%of the signal funded. She noted that the city can go through the 15 community process and make modifications in the design between October and May of 1998 but the 16 information must be in to MNDOT for the Cooperative Agreement cycle by October 31, 1997. 17 18 Commissioner Stigney stated,as proposed,he cannot support this and is opposed to approving a preliminary 19 road alignment plan. 20 21 Mayor McCarty explained that it is very clear that the city is at a very preliminary stage and that they are not • 22 even close to being prepared to present anything to the residents. 23 24 Ms.Bennett noted that in October a formal resolution will need to be passed by the EDA and sent to MNDOT. 25 Once they go through their funding cycle,they would need to come back to the city in the Spring of 1998 to 26 obtain approval of two additional steps. Mayor McCarty noted that the city will eventually have something 27 that they can offer to the residents that they can address based upon facts. 28 29 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Koopmeiners to Authorize Funds for Professional Services for Continuation of 30 Engineering Work for Signalization and Road Alignment at Edgewood Drive,in an amount not to exceed 31 $12,000(TIF Funds). 32 33 VOTE: 3 ayes 1 nay(Stigney) Motion Carried 34 35 REPORTS: 36 37 Report of EDA Board Members: 38 39 Report of President McCarty: No report. 40 41 Report of Vice President Koopmeiners: No report 42 43 Report of Commissioners: 44 45 Commissioner Quick: No report. 46 47 Commissioner Stigney: No report. • 48 49 Report of Executive Director: No report.
