Mayor McCarty asked that Item 11(A)be moved forward for consideration at this time. COUNCIL BUSINESS: A. Consideration of Resolution No.5175,Approving the City of Mounds View's Application for Participation in a Cooperative Agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Ms.Bennett,Economic Development Director, explained that SEH is requesting and supporting participation in a cooperative agreement with MnDOT for the proposed signal at Edgewood Drive and Highway 10. The resolution is required to allow the funding for the signal to be considered by MnDot in their upcoming budget cycle. The budget cycle is for 1999,but if approved would be available to Mounds View in 1998. She explained that as a part of the application which is due by November 1, 1997,the City is also required to submit an estimated cost-sharing allocation,traffic study summary and preliminary layout of intersection and roadway alignment. She noted that this is a critical step to assure that funding would be available if the city chooses to implement the signal and re-alignment along with the ring road concept. She explained that the city is not committed until a Cooperative Agreement is signed. MnDot will be reviewing the application in early 1998 and make their recommendation. The city would not be requested to review the agreement until sometime in the Spring of 1998. If the city chooses not to pursue the signal and road alignment,a letter can be written to MnDot asking that they be removed from the list. If funded,MnDot could potentially fund 50%of the signal and 100%of the turn lane and median construction. Ms.Bennett noted that staff is recommending approval of Resolution NO. 5175. 411/
