Ayes - 3 Nays - 2 (Coughlin, Quick) Motion carried. G. Consideration of Resolution No. 5359 Accepting Jurisdictional Transfer of Ramsey County Road I. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated before the Council was Resolution 5359, a resolution accepting jurisdictional transfer of Ramsey County Road I from West County Line to Silver Lake Rod from Ramsey County. He stated this road is currently being recycled and overlaid. He stated, when this project is completed, it would complete the jurisdictional transfer, pursuant to legislative action in 1991. He stated this resolution would transfer the authority of that road from Ramsey County to the City of Mounds View. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated the resolution indicates that through legislation, the cities are allowed to take the additional turnback mileage and add it to their MSA system, above the 20 percent they are currently allotted, and that this is somewhat of a unique situation. He stated the resolution that follows this would revoke the current MSA status, and the road would be added back as a • turnback. He stated this matter was before Council during the Spring Lake Road/County Road I, mformational meetmgs, and was not acted upon at that time. He explamed that the reason for this resolution is to accept this as a turnback, and use the existing .6 mileage somewhere else in the system, should it be applicable and warranted. He stated this would allow a window of opportunity in the future, should the City choose to utilize that designation and maximize the allotment. He stated, if they do not, they will lose the turnback option, and it will stay an MSA road. He noted that staff had contacted the state in regard to this, and the state had indicated this was allowed. Council Member Marty inquired if the road has to be redone in the next 20 to 25 years, and they keep the MSA funding, could the state come in and impose whatever regulations or stipulations were in place at the time, or could the MSA be declined.. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated there are currently three standards for MSA, which are 26, 32, and 38 feet wide, with parking restrictions on some. He stated, in his understanding, through discussions with the City Engineer, as long as they do not request any MSA funds on an MSA road for any type of improvement, there is no penalty. He stated they will utilize general fund dollars or assessment dollars, before anything will be done with that road again. He stated that as long they are not requesting state aid funds, and submitting a plan for any type of overlay or reconstruction, they would not be required to do any state project on that road. Mayor Coughlin stated the stipulation he had added to the Street Policies Committee • recommendations, was to insure this entire process also be discussed in the 18 to 36 month period 25 C:\ADMIN\MINUTES\CC\8-09-99.CC
