MEMO T0: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC L FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR DATE: JULY 27, 1987 SUBJECT: PLEASANT VIEW DRIVE TURNBACK PROPOSAL Attached please find a memorandum from Ramsey County Public Works Director Ken Weltzin to the Ramsey County Public Works Committee recommending that Pleasant View Drive between County Road I and Woodale be turned back to the City of Mounds View due to their inability to enter into an agreement with the City of Fridley to share the costs of maintenance of this roadway which is half in Mounds View and half in Fridley. Since receiving this memorandum, I Public Works Director for the City the proposal of Ramsey County. As discussion and the fact that state county the authority to turn back our having any say in that action, recommendation that the City take County relinquish County State Aid distance they propose to turn back View and that the state allow conv State Aid Mileage to Municipal Sta that the City can certify this as has indicated that Fridley has ade designate their half of the roadwa contacted John Flora, of Fridley, and discussed a result of these law clearly allows the to municipalities without it would be my the position that the Mileage equivalent to the to the City of Mounds Brsion of this County Le Aid Mileage in order 3n MSA road. Mr. Flora luate mileage and would I as MSA. It strikes me that it is more than likely that the County will refuse this request and the City should then use this action as the momentum needed to request legislation during the next legislative session to give the City of Mounds View additional MSA Mileage for this section of road. I am sure that we will be able to use the County's actions with respect to this matter, i.e. minimal negotiations with Fridley regarding a maintenance agreement, no negotiations with the City of Mounds View prior to a proposal to turn back this roadway, and the likely outright rejection of our request that the County relinquish County State Aid Mileage in order that we might certify the road as MSA as a means to "fire up" the Ramsey County delegation to support our position on this matter. Your direction on this matter would be appreciated. DFP/mjs Attachment: (1)
