Mounds View City Council December 13, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 6 Council Member Hull asked if this project could be completed without MSA funding. City Administrator Zikmund indicated this project could move forward without MSA funding, but this would require an additional levy. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained that in order to receive MSA funding, the project had to meet MSA design requirements. He understood the residents did not want the street widened which meant the pavement width would be held. He indicated if parking were added to one side or another, the street would have to be widened, which would impact the stormwater requirements. He reported the final roadway would actually be slightly more narrow, which may assist in slowing traffic. City Administrator Zikmund commented on the mini roundabout that was being considered at County Road I noting the hope would be that the roundabout would assist with slowing traffic. Mayor Mueller asked if the manhole could be made of a different material in order to reduce the noise that was being created. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated he was not aware of any other material that a manhole could be made of, but noted a rubber gasket could be installed to reduce the rattling. He reported he was working to address this concern. MOTION/SECOND: Bergeron/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9512, Accept the Plans and Specifications for the 2022/2023 Street Project and Authorization to Advertise Bidding. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9520, Approving No Parking on Spring Lake Road as a State Aid Funding Requirement. Council Member Bergeron explained the City has to follow the Minnesota State Aid requirements in order to use MSA funding for this project. He commented he would much prefer to see the local authority be in charge of this, but since the State would be providing $500,000 for the project, the City’s hands were tied. He noted he would be voting for this project with regret. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. C.
