MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 22, 1999 PAGE 7 • Mr. Stigney questioned by putting money here we are pulling it from somewhere else. Mr. Ulrich stated the City receives $180,000 per year toward construction of MSA for streets. Edgewood Drive is an MSA street, along with a traffic signal because it is also a County Road, also, right now a MNDOT road. We can use those funds on any one of our MSA streets for any type of MSA qualifiable construction. This is a pool for a construction, not specifically designated for Edgewood Drive. Mr. Stigney questioned, so the pool money could be used to maintain other MSA streets rather than using it there. Mr. Ulrich stated it could used to reconstruct other streets. We do receive maintenance dollars that exists in our construction. Mr. Stigney questioned how much the reconstruction funds being allocated to Bronson to T.H. 10 will be new money. Mr. Ulrich stated this all goes directly into the pool. The entire project is $806,000. The Edgewood Drive portion of it is roughly $275,000. As of December 31, there was $554,876 in the MSA construction account. The 1999 allotment is $244,155. Mr. Ulrich stated right now there is almost • $807,911 in the MSA account and it is going to be based on the estimates to cover this project. Ms. Julie Olson, 2663 Lake Court Circle. Ms. Olson questioned the approval of Resolution 5316. She indicated that the last time that the realignment of Edgewood Drive and the Highway 10 signal construction was discussed, it was her belief that the economic development Coordinator had stated that the plans and specifications being submitted for approval were preliminary, and at the time that came back there would still be time to review it and ask further questions, or to go into in further detail. Ms. Olson stated to the best of her knowledge we have not heard anything back from that. Ms. Olson wonders why we are approving the plans and specifications when we said we were going to wait until we got the preliminaries back to us. Ms. Olson stated if this happened, she did not know about it, or has not seen this information. Mayor Coughlin stated this was received in the Council office. Mayor Coughlin stated he spent a fair amount of time this morning digging through those documents and reading them. Mayor Coughlin stated that he cannot speak for anyone else, but in light of the realignment nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. Mayor Coughlin, addressing Ms. Olson, stated that memo was received from Mr. Jopke pertaining to the first part of her question. Ms. Olson asked if there were any plans so that the citizens that are here as well as the ones at home could see where the actual realignment is going and what part of City Hall it is facing. Ms. Olson stated she thought that when a preliminary approval came back, what we are going to look • at with that for changes it was stated that MNDOT did not necessarily say that is the curvature or alignment that Edgewood had to be in order to give them a comfort level. Ms. Olson stated
