CM 'VOF REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 14. SSTAFF REPORT Report Number: 95-1508WS AGENDA SESSION DATE November 6, 1995 Report Date: 1 1-1-95 DISPOSITION Item Description: Consideration of County Road Turn back, and Feasibility Study for Reconstruction of Bronson Drive. Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report `9. - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Throughout the summer staff and some members of the Council have received complaints and inquires about the condition and status of Spring Lake Road. Recently staff approached Council about accepting an earlier turnback of this Ramsey County Road. There are two segments of Spring Lake Road that will be turned back to the City of Mounds View. The first one scheduled to be turned back in the year 2000 is from TH 10 to the North Co. line, the second segment, Co. Rd H2 to 79th is in the year 2002 . Although the City will receive maintenance funds for activities performed on the road, staff would recommend that this turn back and reconstruction be moved up to 1997 . Estimates from Ramsey County indicate that to reconstruct both segments of Spring Lake Road will cost approximately $1, 460, 000 . Of that amount the County will contribute $580, 000 . This estimate is based on a generic project of the County' s . These estimates could vary depending on the variables created in a reconstruction project . These segments will not be added to the MSA system, as they were merely County roads in the past and the County did not receive State Aid on the mileage . Financing of this project would include Ramsey County participation and special assessments . Staff is seeking Council's direction in regards to requesting an earlier turn back and reconstruction date. Staff also attended a MSA seminar recently. At this seminar, the local needs report was distributed, and discussion revolved around construction funds for the cities . It was noted that Mounds View has approximately 3 . 3 times the amount of constructions dollars that we receive annually. It was also mentioned that cities not spending their construction funds could be considered for penalties . Currently Mounds View has $593 , 970 in the construction fund, with additional $180, 000 added to the fund in 1996 . Staff has mentioned in the past that the next probable MSA reconstruction project would be Bronson Drive, from Edgewood Drive to Quincy Street . All utilities, including surface water drainage for the district would be considered in a feasibility study.
