�1 Page 5 1 Subcommittee Meeting fact, move at the anticipated rate before the end of 1983; then it is further recommended that in 1984 the needs be adjusted for the City of Mounds View by reducing it by a factor of 2 times the balance in the construction fund that existed as of June 30, 1983. AMOUNT AVAILABLE 1983 CONSTRUCTION AS OF 6/30/83 ALLOTMENT RATIO 6. NORTH MANKATO $39.7,162 $141,769 2.80 Robert Ringhofer, City Administrator, and Martin Menk of a consultant firm of Bolton and Menk, Inc., represented the city at the meeting. They indicated that the city had, in fact, planned to undertake projects that would reduce the MSAS construction balance to that which is allowable this year, but were unable to do so because of the natural disasters which struck their community this spring and summer. They experienced a major failure of their primary sanitary serer transmission line and a landslide which caused removal and re- construction reconstruction problems. It was indicated that a project, Lee Blvd., with a total estimated cost of $250,000 and an estimated MSAS funding need of $75,000, was now being aggres- sibely developed. The city has already approved the project and it has been sent to the state for review and approval. They are interested in having the bid letting be late in 1983 with construction in 1984. An unknown factor af- fecting this project, however, is the availability of Federal Aid Urban Funds which had not been released as of this date for construction projects. The city is also progressing on the reconstruction of Belgrade Ave., Lake Street and Range Street. These $400,000 to $700,000 projects, however, are not anti- cipated to be let until 1984. Utility reconstruction, siting of a river cross- ing and other improvements, all will have an impact on the final scheduling of these improvements. The representatives were instructed to send a letter to Ceorge Quickstad outlining the natural disaster problems which had deferred their original schedule for completing projects in 1983. They were further instructed to demonstrate by December 1, significant action on the Lee Blvd. project. or others. It should be noted that the anticipated draw -down of $75,000 of MSAS funds for the Lee Blvd. project would still leave the community approximately $20,000 too high in its fund balance. RECOMMENDED ACTION: The construction needs for the City of North. Mankato be reduced by 2 times their present construction fund balance less the current construction allotment prior to the 19U3 appuitionment unless the screening committee feels that North Mankato has made significant progress on moving to the construction stage one of its major projects. In the event that the screen- ing committee accepts the probability that the construction will, indeed, occur late in 1983 and does not move to have the construction needs adjusted and said project does not, in fact, move at the anticipated rate before the end of 1983; then it is further recommended that in 1981, the needs be adjusted for the City of North Mankato by reducing it by a factor of 2 times the balance in the con- struction fund that existed as of June 30, 1983. -62-
