Staff met with Ramsey County representatives to discuss the <br />possibility of the City of Mounds View providing contract road <br />maintenance to the county. Issues discussed to name a few were: <br />1. Timeliness of the County's snow and ice control, and <br />spring sweeping. <br />2. Scheduling and coordination of sidewalk snow removal. <br />3. Methods of cost reductions and service improvement. <br />Ramsey County proposed to the City, to perform contract road <br />maintenance of the pavement segments that will eventually be turned <br />over to Mounds View. This amounts to 3.63 miles of streets. If the city <br />would provide maintenance to these streets, one piece of the County's <br />snow removal equipment would be freed up, thereby increasing <br />service to the remaining County roads within Mounds View. <br />The City of Mounds View would submit itemized invoices to the county <br />for payment of maintenance performed. In 1993, the county <br />determined that expenses for routine maintenance is $6,593. This <br />amount may be adjusted periodically based on the previous year's <br />County Annual State Aid Maintenance Cost Expenditure Report. <br />Since Mounds View will be responsible for these future turnback <br />roads, it is staff's opinion, that the city should accept the Ramsey <br />County's proposal. Staff believes that the City's and the County's <br />concerns were identified in the earlier meeting, and this resolution <br />could provide suitable solutions for both entities involved.
