Mounds View City Council Regular Meeting August 14, 2000 Page 19 H. Approval of Springsted Phase 2 of Highway 10 Action Plan Development Work Plan. Dave Wettergren, Springsted, Inc., presented a proposed work plan for the Highway 10 Action Plan. He noted the report that was presented at the last Council work session, as produced by a task force, and the recommendation to proceed with the development of an action plan. The report identified a number of capital and administrative items, many with associated costs. He explained that Springsted is now presenting a proposed Phase 2 work plan that would engage the City and Springsted whereby Springsted would assist the City in the work plan. The primary objectives would be to assist the City to develop cost estimates and identify funding sources for each administrative and capital item identified in the steering report. Springsted would also assist the City in the prioritization of action items and the creation of implementation schedules of items eventually included in the Highway 10 Plan. Mr. Wettergren reviewed the highlighted action items to identify which issues would receive further study, to attach cost estimates to the identified action items, and to develop a tentative financing plan for consideration by the City. When project cost and funding alternatives are identified, they will prioritize action items to be considered for plan implementation. He noted this proposal contains several checks and balances to identify actions, then to determine cost estimates and funding sources, with another Council opportunity to again address implementation. Once the implementation plan is created, tasks would be identified along with • associated costs and timelines. Mr. Wettergren stated they would present basic debt schedules and tax impact analysis. He recommended a staff member be identified to work with Springsted who can advise them what concerns or issues need to be brought back to the Council. He stated there is a possibility that the Council could be expected to incur some costs to determine the cost estimates and they would be -sensitive to assure proper Council authorization. Mr. Wettergren estimated it would take six to eight weeks to identify tasks and cost estimates. Council Member Marty asked if the cost estimate of $9,075 is relatively firm. Mr. Wettergren stated it was bid at anot-to-exceed with hourly billing. Mayor Coughlin noted to exceed that amount, additional Council authorization would be required. Council Member Quick left the meeting at 9:05 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomason. To approve the Highway 10 Study Phase 2 Work Plan and authorize the expenditure of up to $9,075 to Springsted to complete the study and to designate Community Development Director Jopke as the staff person to work with Springsted. Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Absent - 1 (Quick) Motion carried. Mr. Wettergren reported that Bob Thistle will be working on this project on behalf of Springsted.
